My mom, daughter and I were planning our annual girl trip when mom suggested Helen. I immediately went to google to check it out and decided we had to visit. None of us had been. We all were so impressed with the little town. Everyone was so kind and friendly, the food…amazing but all of ours favorite thing to do was sit in our cabin drinking coffee, chatting and listening to the river. This cabin was perfect for the 3 of us. Just what we needed. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with us. KindlyBethany

Reviewer Comments:
The Cabin on the River was perfect, the views were beautiful. We were there during an "off time" of year, so it was very quiet and peaceful. Just what we needed!
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.
We are so much in love with this place! The location is just perfect, away from traffic and people but close enough to all the places to see. The river running in the back sounds relaxing and calming. The property management is responsive and willing to help. And the best part(especially traveling with a toddler) is the cleanliness of the house.
We enjoyed every second spent in this beautiful home. Would definitely recommend and come stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
We loved Cabin on the River. As a family in the middle of moving, it was a welcomed respite to the mountains and the cabin provided the perfect place. The cabin was well stocked, temperature control was ideal, and the beds were comfortable. The quiet neighborhood made us feel like we were secluded from town and the close proximity made daily activities accessible. We would definitely consider returning if we visit Helen again.
Place was just as advertised. We loved it !! Neighborhood had an easy little side street that headed straight into town. We will stay again. Thanks!!!!
