About this property

Helen Riverside Cabin-Chattahoochee River-Walk to Town

Unlike most cabins in the area, this cabin is right in Alpine Helen. Located on the Chattahoochee River, it's just a short walk into downtown Alpine Helen and the Oktoberfest Festhalle. Park your car and walk to town. For about the same price as a motel suite, you get 2 big bedrooms, living/dining rooms, full kitchen, washer & dryer and two jetted bathtubs. Best of all, you get the privacy and quite a motel room could never offer. Each bedroom has one queen sized bed. The fully equipped kitchen has solid surface countertops & ceramic tile floors, microwave, and dishwasher. There is a gas grill on the riverside deck. Make Helen Riverside Cabin your luxury 'base camp' for exploring all of Northeast Georgia. Right next door we also have the four bedroom Helen Riverside Retreat, VRBO property #2447604 https://www.vrbo.com/2447604?noDates=true. If you have a really big family group, rent both and be side by side!

What's in the cabin.: All cooking utensils and linens are provided. There are jetted bath tubs in each bath with a two person jetted tub in the downstairs bath. The floors in the baths are also ceramic tile. Towels and linens are provided. There is a flat screen smart TV in the living room and flat smart TVs in the bedrooms. Free WiFi service is included. The owners live in Helen, so if there are any problems, we'll be there to make it right.

The covered riverside deck looks over the Chattahoochee River. The street side view looks over horse pastures and toward historic Hamby Mountain. Located within walking distance to restaurants, shops and activities in Helen, Helen's Riverside Cabin is also just minutes from Unicoi State Park, Anna Ruby Falls, the Old Sautee Store, Innsbruck Golf Course, Appalachian Trail, Lake Burton, Lake Chatuge, and much more. Let this be your luxury 'base camp' for exploring all of Northeast Georgia. The Chattahoochee River flows under just 50' from our cabin!

Cozy Riverside Cabin

This property is an absolute gem! A quiet, beautiful clean retreat on the riverbank in a quiet neighborhood. Morning coffee on the veranda overlooking the river as the birds sang was memorable. I highly recommend this property. Communication with the owner was excellent and the place was super clean and well maintained. Comfortable beds too!

Nice property with a great location. Cabin is on the river and you can walk to town. Cabin was clean. It was very cold while we were there and the property manager reached out to us to make sure we knew this before making the drive. Very much appreciated. We enjoyed our stay.

Vacation

We enjoyed our stay, clean easy access, around the corner from downtown. Everything you need with the kitchen appliances. Nice bedrooms. Easy contact with owner if needed. One things, the balcony door needs to be better secured. Was very difficult locking the door, overall a good stay.

Best location in town

Our one and only complaint would be the bathroom upstairs has walls that do not go all the way up (due to the cathedral ceiling, I assume) and that removes quite a bit of privacy. That said, you can NOT beat this location, the river flowing by, the firepit. I would stay here again even with the bathroom issue.

Riverside Wanderings

There is nothing more relaxing than walking into a cabin and noting how clean and well-apportioned the place is. From making our reservation to our stay to our eventual departure, the hosts made sure we were well taken care of, and that care allowed us to enjoy the Helen GA area...the shops, restaurants, sights, local trails, and other attractions. The cabin is set back from a creek, has a firepit and picnic table to enjoy, and is just a short walk to the center of town. Our stay was filled with relaxing mornings sitting on the veranda, sipping a cup of coffee or tea, and just watching the day wake up before heading out to investigate the area. Then heading back to the cabin for evening musings and puzzle assembly. It made it hard to leave and if we are ever in the area again, this woodsy cabin will be our number one choice. Thanks for having us.
