It was a great little lodge on the water. Pretty close to town! There were a fair amount of check out steps and threatened charges but overall it was a good property.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 September 2026
Thank you so much for staying with us and for taking the time to leave a review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin, the river, and being close to Helen. This little cabin is very special to our family, and we love being able to share it with guests. We’re sorry the checkout instructions felt like a lot. Since this is our home away from home, we do have a few simple requests to help us keep it in the condition we enjoy it and to make things easier for the next guests. The possible charges are only for unusual situations that require extra cleaning or repairs, not for normal wear and tear or the everyday things that come with staying at a cabin. We really appreciate your feedback and are always trying to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We hope you’ll come back and enjoy the river with us again!

We absolutely loved our stay! My husband and I came to Helen for my nephew’s wedding and stayed here for two nights, and it honestly couldn’t have been a better place to come back to after all the wedding festivities.The cabin was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, but the location. Wow, the location, the home is right on the Chattahoochee River is what really makes this place special. Sitting outside listening to the river was incredibly peaceful, and the deck, hot tub, and fire pit made it feel like a little getaway all on its own. You get that quiet, tucked-away mountain-cabin feeling while still being just a short drive from everything in Helen.Amanda was a wonderful host, communication was easy, and everything about our stay was exactly as described—or better. We only wish we’d had more than two nights to enjoy it! We would absolutely stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting the Helen area. Five stars all the way!

Everything from the booking, to the communication, to the stay was easy and stress free. The house was fully stocked, cozy, and a comfortable stay for our family. We were warned about the spa issues but I don’t think the owner knew about the jacuzzi tub not working because the communication was so great. I would definitely book this place again because it felt like a home away from home.

Beautiful House, perfect location

The house and property were just gorgeous. The house was very clean, and had everything we needed. Amanda was great to communicate with. She gave recommendations on some of the best places to eat and the must do’s when visiting Helen for the first time. I would definitely recommend staying at their perfect place.

Lovely cabin right on the river. Our family of 5 and my father enjoyed our stay. We fished, enjoyed the porch, the cozy cabin and loved the campfire pit. The cabin was well stocked with new quality cookware and utensils. The cabin was clean and have comfortable beds and bedding. Amanda the host was responsive and available if needed. The cabin was easy to get to and less than a 2 mile drive to downtown Helen.

This cabin was perfect for us. Close to downtown Helen but far enough away to be relaxing. The cabin was spotless and the amenities were excellent. The only distraction was Hwy 75. You could not ask for a better communicator than this homeowner. She answered every question immediately. Excellent.

Regained my peace

The house was everything we could ask for. Getting up each day to spend an hour just watching and listening to the River sipping coffee was fantastic. Same for after dinner.Secluded enough for our peace and close enough to everything busy.Amanda was very responsive and on top of everything.We talked about going back in the fall!

The perfect spot! We put our tubes in at the house and floated all the way to downtown. About a 2 hour float. Great spot for fishing. My son caught a little bass and we saw multiple trout. We loved sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs. The kitchen has wonderful new pans and utensils which is rare in a rental. Loved the comfy sofa with the huge tv in the living room. Bedding was super soft. We will be back!

40th Anniversary

We choose this place to stay in Helen, Georgia. We were celebrating our 40th Anniversary. The house is exactly how described and the owner is the easiest to work with and answers any and all questions you may have in a quick manner. Not a complaint because it’s beautiful and we loved the sound of the river by the house but there is a main highway as well. It can get very busy. The people passing were always waving and blowing the horn. lol We would definitely choose this place again if we are ever back in the Helen area!!
