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!

What a great cabin! I highly recommend this. We had others go with us to Helen and they stayed in various other hotels and they all dedicated this cabin as the meeting spot. The owner also supplies you with everything from toilet paper to cups and even sheets and blankets. I will definitely rent again.

Helen - home away from home

This cabin was amazing and enough out of the way of all the noise down town during the busy weekend and offered a great home away from home. Had all the necessities and great location for a little fishing just steps away from the door steps. Hope to rent again for our next vacation.

Lovely cabin in the woods

We had a wonderful stay at the riverside cabin in the woods. Downtown Helen was a short walk away. The cabin had everything we needed to make it a memorable family vacation. Thank you!

Rest and relaxation

We love this cabin, this was our 6th.stay here.It would be nice to have grab bars in the two large tubs. The balcony is great, but could use a really good scrubbing. We love sitting on the balcony watching the tubers and the river.

We have visited Helen several times and tried VRBOs and hotels throughout the city. This is BY FAR our favorite. You can easily walk anywhere on the strip, but it’s very tranquil on the cabin’s street. The cabin was exceptionally clean and cozy, and it was stocked with literally everything we could need. You can tell the owners really put a lot of thought into what their guests might need. Our favorite part was the beautiful back porch. I would gladly stay here again and recommend it to family and friends.
Loved the view!

Easy check in and easy departure. We loved the cabin. My 91 yo mother-in-law had the downstairs bedroom and bath. My husband and I had the bedroom and bath in the loft. Both were great. We loved the location on the Chattahoochee River. We sat on the balcony porch drinking our coffee in the morning. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with us.
