Wonderful cabin right on the river! We enjoyed the spacious cabin, especially the deck over the river. This was the perfect spot for a weekend of trout fishing! After fishing and exploring the town it was nice to come “home” to a relaxing hot tub and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. We’re already planning our return trip next year!

Rustic yet modern

This cabin is rustic yet modern. We loved that it was secluded yet close enough to town to make quick trips (you could walk if you wanted to). It was easy once we arrived as all of the access information and detailed map instruction was text to us before we arrived. It was spotless which immediately put us at ease as we were travelling with a 1 yr. old (if you have one, you know how much they love to pick up anything they see and go straight to their mouth with it). The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking/eating utensils.The linens/towels were clean and fresh and each bathroom had a "welcome" bag of toiletries which is nice as I always tend to forget something. The beds and furniture are comfortable to the point of dozing off on them a time or two. The front porch hangs slightly over the river so we had a 'blast' shooting water guns at tubers (per their request of course). The kids loved playing in the water. The river, at rhe time, was at the perfect level to sit down in and cool off and not have to worry about it being too deep for the kids. We were planning on doing the tubing trip but had more fun staying at the cabin and interacting with the 'tubers'. There is a fire pit right next to the river if you want to stay outside and a grill (and hot tub) on the deck. I will definitely re-book this place.

Relaxing River Retreat

Our stay was amazing! Going to sleep at night with the sound of the river was so peaceful. We loved being able to wake up in the morning and sip our coffee overlooking the babbling river. We definitely plan on booking this rental again.

Peaceful stay right outside of town.

My wife and I had a great stay at this property. It is located close enough to town to consider walking but far enough away to feel like you can escape the main attractions. The property is very well maintained and the communication was well-timed and easy to work with.

Hidden Gem

This little cabin is tucked away overlooking the river. We loved that this cabin was so close to town yet you feel insulated from all that. The hot tub overlooking the river was fun. The property is well maintained and we had zero issues. Would love to buy this place if it ever becomes available.

Ga-fl Jeepers snow day

Our stay in Helen was amazing!! My husband has a Jeep group on Facebook we watched for a good percentage of snow to come and posted we were booked and ready to wheel! This cabin was perfect for us it was right on the river close to the trails we ride and a 3 min ride to downtown Helen! Very clean and well stocked with the essentials! The Host was very accommodating in preparing us for the weather to come!! We will definitely be back! Only suggestion is maybe a tower heater for the porch in the winter!!
