Very cozy!!! Beautifully designed and an amazing view of the river. The hot tubs were perfect and the beds were so comfy. Everything was very clean and well stocked. We absolutely loved the place!
The cabin is perfect! Great location with an easy walk to downtown (as long as you can handle the driveway up and down since it is a pretty steep hill). The cabin was very clean and the kitchen had all the amenities. We couldn't have asked for anything more awesome!
The cabin was clean. We didn’t like that kitchen and family room were on separate floors. Lamp lighting would be nice. Hot tub was great!Driveway was an issue extremely steep and difficult to turn around. So steep at driveway entrance that a SUV and a sedan bottomed out. Not ideal for seniors due to number of steps and driveway.
This was such beautiful and relaxing stay! Reading in the hot tub, watching movies in the cozy den, and walking to town for dinner made this such a restful trip.
Beautiful location close to everything. My only issue was the dip in the driveway i would definitely stay again just please bring that up so guests arent unexpectedly busting their bumper
Great cabin with a great view! Comfy beds, very clean, and a well-equipped kitchen.Town is a short walk, but driveway is VERY steep which makes the walk a little challenging.
The cabin was just what we wanted for our stay. Walking distance to everything in Helen, but tucked away as well. Super clean and everything we needed was provided. Note:
We decided to take one vehicle because of reviews on driveway. we drove a 4 wheel drive and still had some sliding issues with back end. hard to turn around once parked in a bigger vehicle. Overall location was great but we did drive and pay for parking because of steepness of driveway. The only other issues, We couldnt get trash can to lock and we all agreed the Bedrooms need side tables with lamps
We loved the location, the hot tub and the property. Our only con that prevented a 5 star rating was how steep the driveway is. It’s very hard to turn around and hard to walk up.
The house was clean and had everything we needed. We had a full size truck so were able to manage the driveway on every day except when it rained we didn’t attempt leaving. We would stay there again
It was a good spot. A little awkward with no living room downstairs and zero tables upstairs in the actual family room. Overall, it was a nice place in a great location.
Nice and quiet cabin nestled in the woods. Great location. Amenities are fine, wish they had a washer and dryer. I would recommend adding a pillow topper or buying a new mattress for the downstairs bedroom.
ATR is a very nice cabin that is well maintained and clean. While it is close to the strip in Helen, it was quiet and peaceful. Like many mountain cabins, the driveway is a little steep.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this little cabin. It was peaceful and the view of Helen was beautiful, especially at night. The hot air balloon festival was a pleasant surprise! Make sure someone knows how to drive up a very steep incline to get up driveway.
The folks at Cabin Rentals are beyond good. Ms. Allie was pleasant to talk to. The cabin was immaculate and beyond my expectations. If I am ever this way again, I will certainly rent from them.
Great porches and views. Steep is an understatement for the driveway. Could use a pancake turner type spatula. Perfect location for walking into Helen.
