Beautiful and Relaxing for the Family!

We loved this beautiful cabin and location! It was a perfect platform for our family of 5 (Two 20 somethings, a teen 2 y.o.). They all had a wonderful time. The property was just as described, and we had great communications with the owner. Be sure to take advantage of the fire pit by the Chattahoochee and bring your smores supplies! The cabin location is just far enough away from everything to really relax, but close enough to Helen and other natural activities, when we felt adventurous. Be sure to see Anna Ruby Falls and Raven Cliffs if you like a little hiking!

Birthday weekend

We stayed the weekend to celebrate my wife and daughter in laws birthdays. The property was absolutely beautiful. I love the decor. And the kitchen was well equipped with all I needed to prepare a fabulous celebration dinner. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub with the peace of nature and the sound of the river flowing. We a blast at the private park area, took a dip in the brisk 56 degree water, had a fire in the fire pit, and even made smores. Downtown Helen is just a hop,skip,and jump away with plenty to see and do for everyone.Will definitely return and stay here if this property is available.
Looking back to the cabin from the private park area.

Big Bear Cabin

The cabin is beautiful and perfectly located. It's only minutes from downtown Helen and seconds from enjoying the Chattahoochee River. It is very clean and comfortable. You have your own private fenced in area on the river with easy access, chairs, picnic table, fire pit, and awesome horseshoe pits! You are also only 1 mile from Cool River Tubing and their fun obstacle course. Oh yeah, the tubing course doesn't come by the cabin, your area is very peaceful! The owners are super nice and very easy to communicate with. We will be returning for a longer stay next time! Enjoy!

This cabin was a real beauty! We spent liberty weekend here to celebrate my 15-year-old’s birthday. He brought two of his best friends and had an awesome time at the hot, tubbing right across the street, and roasting marshmallows right on the river at night! This place is very convenient just some of the other things I enjoyed as well like the hike at Ruby, Falls, the mountain roaster, mini golfing and the delicious German birthday lunch we had. Back in the cabin we celebrated his birthday on Sunday evening in the large porch. Priceless memories!!
Teenagers loved tubing- right across the cabin with the cabin provided tubes and also through the paid tubing company a mile away from the cabin
The German restaurant in Helen is delicious (teenager approved) and you get a view of the tubers
Marshmallows and scary stories on the river

Great place with access to the Chattahoochee

This is a great place that is thoughtfully furnished and has perfect location. We were able to cook several great meals in the very well equipped kitchen and enjoy the river each day. The house is secluded but an easy drive to all that the Helen area has to offer. If you are coming to the area we recommend this place for a great trip to the North Georgia Mountains.
