There’s no better adventure than traveling with your loved ones, especially if your loved ones include your pets! So few places usually allow for pets to stay in the same accommodation as their owners but recently more and more businesses have taken to including pets to stay with their owners when they travel. Helen, Georgia is a pet-friendly place that is also a unique spot on the map. The town is home to only about 600 people but in the 1960s the town reinvented itself as a Bavarian village in the Appalachians instead of the Alps. The iconic South German style of building design is found on every building in Helen and they host their own major Oktoberfest event annually. If you’re looking to explore this mountainous region of Appalachia with your pet, scroll down our list of the best pet-friendly cabin rentals in Helen, Georgia.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and pet-friendly rules and regulations. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on August 18, 2024.
