Cabin is adorable! Cozy and close to everything. Could use new mattresses tho, they’re not very comfortable. You can even see intentions after removing the sheets. Otherwise it was perfect!
Absolutely Beautiful... the house sits right on the river.The sound of rushing water over rocks. So Peaceful The Neighbors very friendly.. House was very clean. Very Beautiful. Everything worked perfectly. Im so Happy that we chose this hse for our 20th anniversary
My daughters and I stayed here for a long weekend and loved it! The cabin is beautiful and the location is great, both quiet and close to everything. If you’re a book lover, I highly recommend visiting Mt. Yonah book exchange. The owner is amazing. We also enjoyed the safari drive through.
My husband and I are teachers, and we just needed to relax. The cabin is cozy and right on the river. It is very close to town, and we even walked one time to get some exercise. I highly recommend staying here.
The location was great and the cabin was very clean and comfortable, it had absolutely everything that we needed! We would definitely come back and recommend it to our friends and family.
We loved the location and the cleanliness of the property - perfect for a family of 5! We will be back again!

Reviewer Comments:
the inside was very clean and nice, but the outside needed a lot of maintenance, weeds growing everywhere and steps and deck needs painted. The American Flag needs to be fixed for sure.
My husband and another couple stayed here for a weekend getaway in Helen. The property was exactly as listed and had a wonderful, homey feel. We loved the Christmas decorations and the homemade ornaments you had as a souvenir. Very clean, great location! We will definitely stay here again.

Very clean, comfortable and relaxing stay!!!! The location is extremely close to town (walking distance) and felt very safe the entire time!!! The only tip I have is for the lockbox upon arrival. Check in was at 4 pm and the lockbox didn’t allow us to enter until 4:10pm.

We loved Cabin on the River. As a family in the middle of moving, it was a welcomed respite to the mountains and the cabin provided the perfect place. The cabin was well stocked, temperature control was ideal, and the beds were comfortable. The quiet neighborhood made us feel like we were secluded from town and the close proximity made daily activities accessible. We would definitely consider returning if we visit Helen again.

Reviewer Comments:
The cabin was right on the river. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the mornings and loved that we could put our chairs right in the water on hot afternoons. We walked right up the bank to the water park which was very convenient! The cabin itself could benefit from a good pressure wash and updated decor, but it was clean and comfortable and located in a quiet area that was still close to town. The staff at Georgia Mountain Rentals was friendly and helpful. We’d definitely rent from them again.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Overall property was just o.k. it did have few notable issues. Driveway was hard to navigate (Chevy 2500 truck) due to evergreen tree partially blocking access, fan in downstairs bathroom did not work, one of the kitchen outlets did not work, door to deck was really hard to close and lock. Downstairs bed was like sleeping on cardboard. The property is crammed next to two other units with 5 ft or less between the units. Add says within walking distance of shops and restaurants, while technically true, most of the this was over a mile away. Deck needed paint and included two really cheap chairs and no table for coffee. I rented this place to sit by the river. There were no chairs and no fire pit, but area did have a no trespassing sign and rental sign. Also, my view across the river was three drainage pipes and a closed water park. The add did not really describe the property. This is my first rental thru VRBO and maybe I expected too much.

Reviewer Comments:
Location was great and loved hearing the sound of the river. Very clean and comfortable. The only issue was the front and back doors were hard to open and close and definitely need attention. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay very much.
Location, property and listing was as advertised. 2nd visit to Helen and this time was for Oktoberfest opening ceremonies. Had an awesome time. Property is located on the river and is definitely a BONUS to wake up to the sound of the running water. Property as described in advertisement and met all our needs. Living room TV, and bedroom TVs remotes were inoperable upon arrival. We purchased (expensive) batteries and were able to get the bedroom TVs to operate using remotes. However, not joy on the living room. Property Mgmt made a visit and attempted to get remote to work but, again, no joy. No biggie. We survived. Not so mych a negative as a testament to the property mgmt folks making the best effort. Now, my one dislike; there is a camera mounted (wirelessly) at the entry of the house. Not cool. I do NOT need to feel I am being monitored by outside people, and I pay for the rental and have an expectation of privacy. I have legal standing and DO NOT consent to the video monitoring or the publication, retention or use of any videos that contain my likeness. For this, and this alone, I will NOT be returning to this property. If you don't mind the camera pointed at the front door, then I would recommend the property for its location alone.

Reviewer Comments:
Cabin on the River offered a comfortable place for a summer get together for 4 life long friends. The deck was a great place for morning coffee conversations and evening night caps. The location was an easy walk or short drive into Helen.
Excellent location. Easy to check in. The office is very responsive. There is no dining table-eating is done at an island. Well stocked kitchen overall, but no lids for the pots and pans and missing some items like potato pellet and masher. A gas grill was a nice touch.
Great property, right on the river. Kids enjoyed playing in the river, we enjoyed the unit although we were out in Helen with all there was to do most of the time, especially the tubing.
