We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay, and we’d love to have you back again soon.
Everything was clean when we walked in. Aside from some lady bugs that made their way in from the cold snap. The rules were very clear for check in and out. They have a courtesy call after we checked in too. Great experience. Will be back.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Door entry was not on time. Stood in the cold thinking we were doing something wrong. Called the office said they had reports of them not syncing on time. Fire place had some burn marks on the rocks we tried it but didn't work. Day bed in loft could be upgraded. To make it a great stay

Randy, we sincerely apologize that the door did not unlock on time. I’ve created a work order to ensure the lock is set to activate promptly at 4:00 PM moving forward.
Had we known about the fireplace issue during your stay, we would have gladly sent someone out right away to take care of it.
We truly appreciate your business and always strive to make every guest’s stay smooth, comfortable, and memorable.

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!
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.
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.

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.

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.

Kathy, we appreciate you staying with us and taking the time to write a review. Fall is right around to corner to sit and smell the autumn leaves and have your coffee on the deck.. Remember you receive a repeat customer 10% discount when you book again
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.
Shared an anniversary get away with my sister and brother in law who have the same anniversary date as us! We had a great time visiting and catching up and seeing all the sights of Helen. Really enjoyed catching some local yard and estate sales and thrift stores in the area on Saturday! Would definitely stay again!
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.
Gorgeous house in a good location, close to the town and to beautiful trails. I love that the river runs just a few yards away from the property. We will definitely comeback and recommend it to anybody.
