River Getaway - Super fun!!!

We stayed from June 6th through June 12th. The river is gorgeous on the property. We were in that water more than we weren’t. We caught six shoal bass. We walked up the road to the GA park that had beach access. Gorgeous as well!! The Host is responsive and welcoming! Recommended highly!!

Great Cabin on the River!

We had a wonderful time! Cabin was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Beautiful spot on the river. Location is close to many hiking trails and everything Helen has to offer while also being secluded and peaceful. Check-out process was a breeze. Make sure to read the rental agreement, etc. Jeff was responsive, pleasant, professional, and easy to work with. We would stay here again!

Beautiful property

Great little cabin, very secluded. River access is pretty tough/steep to trek down to, but the party rock photos don't do it justice. It's spectacular, lots of passing kayaking groups. If there were more than the 2 of us, 1 bathroom would be an issue. Short drive to Helen, Aldi's, WalMart, etc. Host Jeff was very hospitable with very prompt response to any question. This property would be perfect if it had more than 1 bathroom and better access down to the river, but we can't say enough about the woodsy, serene environment. Many stunning window views from the game room and huge back deck.

White River Cabin, Cleveland Georgia

The Cabin was very clean, had all the amenities that you could need. The location on the river and party rock was amazing. Grandchildren came to visit! Could not get them out of the water. I would recommend staying at this cabin and would again. The only thing that I would recommend is to have a railing put down the stairs to the river. It is quite challenging to get down the stairs and back up. If you are not an avid walker you may have a hard time. We saw some plastic stakes in the ground by a he steps and thought perhaps they may be getting ready to put in railing. The owner Jeff was very nice and easy to get in touch with. We did the whitewater kayaking trip, went right by our cabin. We had a great time, looking forward to our next stay!

Great spot!!

The cabin was very clean and in a perfect location close enough to Helen, but far enough away to enjoy nature. The area down by the water was very enjoyable and offers a great gathering area for the prefect get together. The hot tub was very clean and the water pressure in the shower was great! We would stay here again.

Short getaway

We absolutely loved this place! The river and party rock were a definite favorite for us! The location was very close to Helen and other areas for hiking and exploring. The amenities (hot tub, game room, etc.) made it extremely enjoyable to simply stay in as well. Great place to unwind and take in the sounds of the river instead of city noises. We would definitely stay here again!

Wow!

Jeff was an amazing host and this property was absolutely heavenly. From hearing the rushing river, to fishing on the party rock, to relaxing in the hot tub, to playing the variety of board and arcade games provided, to simply sitting and relaxing the cozy interior of the cabin, we very much enjoyed staying on the property! In addition, there were so many fun things to do in the area, including hiking, waterfalls, and the mountain coaster. It was a PERFECT vacation.

Beautiful Property

The location is great and the property is amazing. Could be a bit of a challenge getting down to the water but worth it. The “rock” is an awesome place to hang out for the day. Jeff was super easy to work with and his communication was excellent. A short ride to Helen with a bunch of shops and restaurants to burn a day. The cabin is very clean and was a pleasant time overall. Will definitely be back!

Cute river cabin, great for kids

Our family of 4 just stayed at this property. My kids (ages 7 & 9) loved the place. They had a blast going down to the river, getting on the swing and hammock, and being around the fire pit at night. We took full advantage of the amenities, including using the spa, outdoor grill, foosball table, and arcade game table (which the kids REALLY loved!). The location is an easy drive to Helen and Anna Ruby Falls. Didn't have time to check out all the places around the area that we wanted to. There's a Dollar General nearby for any last minute items you may need. Had a great time, overall.

Relaxation is on Tap!

This is a quaint little cabin but a little difficult driving down the very narrow and steep driveway. It is also very difficult to turn your car around in order to get back up especially with a SUV. The path to the river is also extremely steep which would be difficult to access for someone that may have difficulty walking or with balance. There are 3 beds and 1 couch that is accessible. The 2nd couch is located in the small game room that is overcrowded with furniture and difficult to get to if you needed it. The host was very good about answering any questions quickly.

Beautiful River! Perfect location! Few concerns

Overall my husband and I enjoyed our stay for the weekend! The river looked and sounded great! There were three things that were worth mentioning as well. The hot water tank doesn’t allow two people to take showers back to back without the temperature dropping, the cameras that point at the hot tub are a little unsettling but I do understand why they are there and it was listed on the description so I can’t be too mad, and there was a tree that seemed to be leaning towards the cabin and it was poorly secured with some wire that was cutting into the tree. Overall, the river was the best part of this stay so if the river isn’t important to you, I’d keep looking. The owner was very quick to respond and helpful with any questions or concerns we had.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Edrington

I live very close to my river cabin and make sure items and the property stays up to date. I purchased this cabin as a quick get away. Owning my own businesses and working extra hours through the week does not allow me to get away to long distances for vacations, so I thought this would help me & my daughter "escape" on weekends to refresh and renew. I love my cabin and like adding upgrades to it for my guests to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

I had owned a cabin in Helen, Georgia right across the river from the water park and had known about this area for about 8 years. I had looked into purchasing a lot on the same road this cabin is on back in 2010 and wound up not purchasing it. In 2015 I decided to come back down the road leading to this property and saw this property for sale and fell in love with it. The location is 2nd to none as I am at the end of a dead end road that backs up to Buck Shoals State Park and Wildlife Management Area. The river is absolutely breathtaking and all the wildlife and serenity around adds to the peaceful and relaxing environment. I have made several upgrades and additions.
