Welcome to Yonah Mountain Farmhouse, a custom-designed luxury retreat built around one idea: everyone together with room to breathe. Located inside the gated Yonah Mountain Lake community and adjacent to the Chattahoochee National Forest, this three-level home custom home has the space and layout to make group travel feel easy instead of exhausting.
Paved roads lead all the way to the driveway, so arrivals are easy no matter the season or the car. Deer roam the surrounding woods, the community lake is steps away, and downtown Helen is nine minutes down the road. It feels like a world apart without actually being far from anything.
With four private ensuite bedrooms, a chef's kitchen, and a farmhouse dining table that seats all 12 together, it's one of the few mountain rentals in the area designed specifically for group and multigenerational travel. This spacious three-level home offers the perfect balance of gathering spaces, privacy, and upscale comfort.

The area has more depth than most guests expect. Nora Mill Granary, a working grist mill on the Chattahoochee River that has been grinding corn since 1876, is minutes away and worth a stop for fresh-ground grits alone.
Thrill seekers can hit the Georgia Mountain Coaster, the only alpine coaster in the state, or zip line with Nacoochee Adventures on a course that tops 50 mph. Groups looking for something more laid back can float the Chattahoochee through downtown Helen on Cool River Tubing.
For a slower morning, the Old Sautee Store has been open since 1872 and still sells local goods the way it always has. And if your trip falls between September and November, Helen's Oktoberfest at the Festhalle draws crowds from across the Southeast for food, beer, and dancing in the middle of a Bavarian village.
Whether your group comes for the wineries, the trails, the river, or just a real reason to finally slow down together, the area delivers on all of it.
Guests will have access to the entire property as well as Mays Lake and the pavilion area. Guests will be provided a unique 4-digit code prior to arrival.
We are available by text, email, or phone to answer any questions or concerns.
Located within the gated subdivision Yonah Mountain Lake offering a covered community pavilion w/ fireplace and grills. There is a dock with access to the private Mays Lake where you can fish and kayak! Located in the heart of the Unicoi Wine Trail and surrounded by 10 incredible wineries and 10 minutes from downtown Helen —a whimsical Bavarian-style village filled with unique shops and restaurants.
