The cabin was so cozy. The way the cabin sits with the river behind it makes it feel secluded. There is a lot of privacy. The hot rub is clean and gets really hot. Its really convenient to the little town of Helen.

Super amazing cabin on the river! Close to Helen downtown, far away enough to feel isolated from hustle and bustle. I will definitely return to this property!
Excellent location! Wonderful outdoor space at this home with large tv, hot tub, fire pit, and plenty of seating to enjoy the weather and sounds of nature. Secluded but close to the downtown area dining, shopping, and excursions.

All Great!!
Beautiful, peaceful property with perfect location right on the river! Nice spot for fishing or playng in the river. Very clean and smelled great as soon as you walked in the door! Inside and outside amenities were just perfect!!
House was nice and comfortable and very close to Helen. The covered porch was why we chose this property and it had everything you could want - view of the river, hot tub to relax in with privacy, fire pit and nice big TV. We spent all of our time outside! Nice and relaxing getaway!
Great location to town, attractions and the beautiful surrounding falls! Cozy cabin with great outdoor area to relax, cook and just look at the beautiful river below. Fishing was great for the guys and the kids enjoyed playing in the shallow areas and searching for rocks. Just so peaceful! Check in extremely easy and communication with owner was spot on
This cabin was perfect for our long weekend of relaxation! It was right out of town on the river. The only thing we weren’t expecting was all of the people on the River out the back. I will definitely be staying here again!
We loved the house. The back deck was where we spent a lot of time. The big flat screen by the hot tub was so relaxing. There are a lot of people that access an area across the river to fish and hang out so it wasn’t totally private feeling but everything else was amazing! We would definitely stay again.
Very clean. Very short drive to Helen. LARGE lovely porch.

Cabin in Helen, Georgia
Beautiful huge home! Walked down the deck to the river and did some fly fishing and caught several and released! Back porch is HUGE with a hot tub and grill. Owner was very sweet and attentive! Would love to stay here again in near future!
Beautiful property with nice amenities.
All the comforts of home. Plenty of space for a family.
Beautiful view of river and loved that our part of the river didn’t include tubers floating by. Easy access to town. You can’t go wrong with this property.
The home was wonderful. The location was on a very busy highway. Sitting on the porch was noisy.

Fantastic Vacation Place
Cabin was just as advertised plus more. The ad does not do this cabin justice. IT was very spacious for a cabin. The person that decorated it did a great job. The beds were very comfortable and the cabin was very clean. They thought of everything to make our stay great. The view from the huge deck as well as the windows was very beautiful and we were only five minutes from downtown Helen. Would defiantly stay again.

Loved it!
We loved this house! The back deck is amazing. It was so fun to relax in the hot tub with the flat screen TV right there or just listen to the sounds of nature. The river area out back is beautiful! There were quite a few people at the public access area across the river and occasionally they came across but they seemed friendly.
My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend for our anniversary. We wanted to explore Helen and the mountains. It was such a wonderful experience and the house more than met our expectations! It had a very warm, mountain cabin feel with all the modern amenities to make your stay amazing! We had an issue with the heat while we were there but it was resolved quickly. The outdoor space is amazing and we hope to bring our children when the weather is nice and tube in the river. The location is amazing, away from everything but super close to town and on a main road which makes it very convenient to go explore and then come back to the house! We highly recommend this house and can't wait to stay again!
Everything was perfect. Even we had problems with the T V and the owners went right away to purchase a new one . So we didn’t miss no college football time. They were super nice. The cabin we stayed in was great. My second year staying there and I will be back hopefully next year 😊
