Walk to our many restaurants including Paul's Steak House (on the River) where you can dance the night away at Paul's Margarita Deck with live music and seasonal karaoke. Enjoy the indoor Fun Factory with skating rink, go-carts, laser tag, bouncy house & arcade on sunny and rainy days. Water park & tubing during those warm summer days and don't forget the zip lines and rollercoaster, one of our favorites. Helen offers something for everyone. Please message us with any question - we would love to answer any questions and help you plan your stay-cation! - Cindy

My husband and I recently visited Helen Georgia and stayed this cozy little VRBO. It was perfectly located one block off the main road, making it an easy walk to all the lovely little shops and restaurants. We arrived a little early and had the opportunity to meet our host who was so very nice and welcoming. This is definitely one of my favorite places that I have stayed. Everything we needed was available and we will definitely be going back.
Cozy living from.

Everything you need is there bring clothes and food that is it. The cabin sits about a block behind main street so you are away from the heavy noise but so nice you can walk to everything. The cabin is cozy and Cindy is amazingly friendly. You will not regret renting one of their cabins.

Everything was great! The location was perfect and we were able to walk to downtown shops, dining and the grocery store was just around the corner. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch across from the river with our coffee in the morning. The host was very quick to reply when booking and during our stay. We will definitely be back!
