About this property

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!

Perfect house and location
We stayed at this property two years in a row. The house is beautiful and perfect for my wife and me. It’s comfortable and very well maintained. We enjoy sitting on the porch and watching the river flow by. It’s a very short walk into town so there is really no need to move your car once you arrive.

Perfect spot in Helen
I now understand why so many people have posted about staying multiple times at this cabin. It truly is the perfect location! We enjoyed watching people tube down the river after we went tubing ourselves. Then, we walked to Betty’s Country Store to pick up some steaks to cook on the BBQ grill on the porch. The next day, we walked around Helen a couple of times and returned to the cabin to rest. With a rainstorm approaching, we headed to the Fun Factory before it hit and found plenty to do inside while it rained. Not only is the cabin in the perfect location, but it is also beautiful and cozy, with lots of extras such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, extra blankets, and even a bunch of sticks for tubing. Book this cabin now before someone else does!!!

Lovely cabin on the river
Lovely spot right on the river. Enjoyed spending time on the porch as well as by the firepit watching the tubers go by. Convenient location as it was very easy to walk to downtown avoiding traffic and parking. Fully stocked kitchen allowed for making meals easy.

Beautiful cabin - ideal location
Everything was wonderful and the hosts were easy to communicate with when setting up our stay. The house has the best location in town - close to everything but private, on the river, great deck and outdoor space, great kitchen, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. We would definitely stay here again!

Weekend getaway
It was very peaceful with the river flowing in backyard. I only have one recommendation, it would be nice to have robes there for people to wear around the house. We only travel with carryons and my housecoat wont fit in it. I sure needed it while we were there. Besides that. It was very nice to walk around town and chill out.

Very Pleasant Stay in a Very Nice Cabin with a Great Host
Fantastic cabin that was clean, comfortable and exactly what we wanted. Pleasant sound of the water rushing through the nearby creek complimented the woodsy atmosphere. The best part was that the host was very responsive to our needs and a great communicator. Strongly recommended!
