What a glorious trip. I now want to visit Helen for a getaway with my sweetheart. Maybe next January (2011) when we have our 7th anniversary. :o) May HIS face shine upon you.

Hey! I’m super new to your blog but I absolutely love it! :) You have so many great ideas! :) WOW! I was wondering how you took those wonderful pictures of the falls?? What setting did you put your camera on? I’ve been trying to do this with mine forever and I can’t figure it out! :) Slow shutter speed? I don’t know…please let me know your secrets! :) Thanks!

Amanda, I loved the pics. My husband and I are wanting a weekend trip for our anniversary and this looks like its the place for us. I was interested in the cabin you stayed in. I am looking for a cabin with a jaccuzi inside and outside, could you please let me know exactly which cabin to reserve.Thank You so much.Happy Anniversary.
Thanks.

You really have to take the hike down to Dukes Creek, It’s just about ten minutes outside of Helen. The hike is just a tad over a mile long, but it’s a mild incline, and your in cool shade most of the time. Once you get to the falls, they are just as inviting as Anna Ruby. You should also try camping at Unicoi, camp at site #59 in the Laurel Ridge section. that puts you a few hundred feet from access to Unicoi lake with a awesome fishing dock. The tent sites are all nicely shaded with big trees, and camping down at site # 59 puts you right next door to the ampitheatre

Hi Amanda,

First of all, I am so thrilled that I stumbled upon your fantastic blogs and websites. I am anxious to try, as well as purchase creative things from you for my blog.

But I also wanted to ask you if you could share the name of the cabin business that you stayed with your hubbie for your anniversary in Helen, GA.

My hubbie and I went there for the first time last summer (to get out of the Carolina summer heat) and we stayed in a pretty run down place. However, we really enjoyed the Helen area and would like to return. So if you don’t mind sharing the name of the place that you stayed, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Great work and thank you!

I have been perusing your blog and loving your stories and photographs, especially Miley & Howie. They are too adorable. I have not been to Helen, GA since 1987 and seeing all these photos makes me think I need to plan a trip southeast vs. northwest later this summer/fall. I look forward to reading more adventures of Kevin, Amanda, Howie & Miley!!!
