A place where monarchs gather
Royal retreats. Monarch Butterflies. One place to gather.
Monarch's Roost draws from two inspirations: the Monarchs of World History and their Royal, Exclusive Retreats, and the enchanting beauty of the Monarch Butterfly, which travels far and gathers together to rest. Together they make a luxurious wellness retreat and gathering place.
Here that means a private hot tub and an outdoor infrared sauna for restoring, fireplaces and a fire pit for gathering, and room for up to fourteen. The group arrives, exhales, and stays a little longer than planned. Read the story behind the name.

Rated by guests
We had such a wonderful stay at Drew’s place in Helen, Georgia! The location is absolutely beautiful, tucked into the mountains with peaceful surroundings that made it easy to relax right away.
The home itself was squeaky clean and incredibly comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, which made meals easy and enjoyable. The sauna was a huge highlight, and the outdoor hot tub was perfectly clean—such a great way to unwind after a day out.
It’s also just about 10 minutes from downtown, so you get the best of both worlds: quiet mountain views and quick access to shops and restaurants.
We would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone and would love to come back again!

Drew was an amazing host and the cabin was amazing. Three families enjoyed the time grilling , time in the hot tub, the sauna and all the games. The property is wonderful and extremely peaceful. Would definitely stay here the next time we travel to Helen.

5 stars on Airbnb. Group trip.
this house is absolutely perfect. Everybody had their own space. The master bedroom was amazing with the most comfortable bed and pillow pillows. The area was gorgeous and activities upstairs for the kids do with a pool table and two video games.
