This cozy, fully equipped, cabin rental is surrounded by a forest of oak and maple trees with backyard access to the Chattahoochee River. Fishing, tubing... just play in the water, and enjoy the soothing sounds of the river. Walk to the shops and restaurants, Oktoberfest, or have a horse drawn carriage pick you up.

Love the view!
We have stayed at the “Chattahoochee Charmer” for several times on our yearly trip to Helen. The river view from this home is beautiful and you can walk downtown. It snowed on our last day and was beautiful with the Christmas decorations downtown. The owners are very attentive and respond to any issues promptly. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Relaxing Vacation
The cabin's location is excellent right on the river. We really enjoyed our family vacation and the fire pit at night was great. There were a few issues regarding the cleaning company that was discovered on check-in. However, Billy made sure to rectify the situation including a personal visit to the cabin. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Great Outside Space
Love the outside space and location especially learning of the quick wood path to downtown. However, I would not consider this a luxury cabin without the higher end details such as updated bathrooms. Plus, the counter tops and toilets are very low. The host was easy to contact and thank goodness since our water was cut off with a lock on the meter. We were refunded one night of our stay, and it was corrected the next morning. We love to throw darts, but the dart board isn't really usable. Otherwise, the outdoor space is where we spent our time and it did not disappoint!!!!

Perfect Getaway
Rented this property for labor day weekend with my husband and our friends. It is a perfect location right on the river and a short walk to downtown. We spent a majority of the time just sitting on the river enjoying the view. Perfectly slept all 8 of us, though i will say the 3rd bedroom isnt really a room but it wasnt a problem for us. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Very nice cabin!
The location and views were great. It was peaceful sitting on the deck looking at the river. It was very clean and the host responded immediately when contacted. The only downside is the spiral staircase that goes to the loft. It is very steep and luggage was difficult to get upstairs. The upstairs would not be suitable for very small children.

Fantastic Get Away!
The Chattahoochee Charmer exceeded our expectations. The location was fantastic, close to town which allowed us to walk to dinner and shopping very convenient. The backyard is even better in person, so much space.The hot tub was great in the chilly evening and the fire pit provided the perfect ambience. The house was comfortable and met all of our needs. We will defiantly be back. Thank you to the hosts that were very responsive to all of our questions. I strongly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Billy Maynard

Host profile image
We live in Statham, GA and own a learning center, Kidz Academy, located in Winder, GA. We take a very hands-on approach to managing our business, therefore we work very long days. When we are fortunate enough to take time off for pleasure we enjoy visiting our cabin, the Chattahoochee Charmer. We also enjoy camping. So when our cabin is rented we are camping and exploring the area in our Jeep Wrangler with the top down. We have two boys and they also have Jeep Wranglers and enjoy camping with us. We have been visiting Helen and enjoying Oktoberfest since 1977. Our entire family would all meet in Helen for Oktoberfest...great times were had and great memories were made! Everyone should experience Oktoberfest in Helen!

Why they chose this property

We rented the Chattahoochee Charmer the first time nine years ago and we fell in love with it! We rented it four more times and it was always our dream of owning this cabin! When we camped in the area we would always drive our Jeep by the Chattahoochee Charmer continuing to dream. In May of 2014 we were making our traditional drive by and noticed the For Sale sign in the yard. Our dream came true in June 2014. The Chattahoochee Charmer is our place to go to relax and to continue to make amazing memories with our family and friends. If you every stay at the Chattahoochee Charmer you will never stay at another cabin in Helen!

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of the Chattahoochee Charmer is the location. The cabin is located on the Chattahoochee River within a short walk to downtown Helen. You have incredible rivers views from all of the bedrooms, the family room, the hot tub, the huge deck and the outdoor patio and fire pit. The river bank offers a unique beach that allows easy access to the river to wade or swim. The cabin is located in an area of the river that offers the best trout fishing in White County...the largest trout caught in White County was reeled in near our cabin. Everyone that stays at our cabin LOVES that you can walk to downtown Helen...within 5-7 minutes you can enjoy all of the activities in downtown Helen including Oktoberfest, shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, candy shops and much more!
