Start planning your holiday in the mountains now!
There is nothing quite like the holiday season in Alpine Helen, Georgia. As the crisp mountain air rolls in, our entire Bavarian village transforms into a real-life winter wonderland illuminated by thousands of twinkling Christmas lights.
The holiday festivities kick off soon, and you will not want to miss a single moment of the cheer. Mark your calendars for these upcoming community favorites:
The 19th Annual Helen's Christmas Market takes place on November 28th through 29th and December 5th through 6th, offering unique handmade gifts, stunning holiday decorations, and plenty of sweet seasonal treats.
Helen's Annual Lighted Christmas Parade rolls through Downtown Main Street on Saturday, December 12th at 6:00 PM. Gather your family and friends near the Downtown Gazebo to watch the spectacular festive floats, marching bands, and local groups light up the night, complete with a special grand appearance by Santa Claus himself.
You can also explore the stunning walk-through light displays at the Mountain Country Christmas in Lights, book a cozy Breakfast with Santa on
December 19th, or enjoy an old-fashioned carriage ride through the festively decorated streets.
After a day spent exploring the village markets and catching candy at the parade, there is no better feeling than returning to your own private holiday home.
Whether you are looking for a cabin with an outdoor fire pit and a cabin in the woods retreat featuring a hot tub to soak away the winter chill, we have the perfect space for your holiday traditions.
The most magical time of the year fills up quickly. Visit Bavarian Brooke Cabin Rental The Howard's online or call us today to secure your cabin for a Christmas in the mountains.
