Enjoyable stay with a few inconveniences

House was as listed, property was clean, well stocked, Master closet was full of extra linen and a bunch of extra supplies, had to move because there was no space anywhere to hang clothes. The water pressure is horrible when the hot water is on, It literally takes an hour and 20 minutes to fill the tub, You cannot take 2 showers at once, cannot run the dishwasher or laundry if you want to take any kind of shower. So plan accordingly if traveling with family or another couple. The internet is very slow and streaming service is mediocre at best. A few simple updates would make this stay a higher rating, Location is great and close to town.

Scenic Cabin with the perfect location

The cabin was perfectly located to be away from the city hustle and bustle, but also still extremely close to town. We absolutely loved that the river is right on the property. It was so peaceful! We had a bit of an issue with the cleanliness of the property when we arrived, but the communication was top-tier, and that issue was resolved. It’s a beautiful cabin.

Cabin by the river

We loved the location and overall decor of the cabin. So many dead animals staring at us but it worked. The river is literally out the back door and a very relaxing sound to sit next to. The cabin was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the awesome master bathroom as well. The house is only minutes from Helen and other attractions like the beautiful Anna Ruby Falls. I hope we will have the chance to stay again.

Great getaway

Absolutely loved the location of this home. However, we had no cell service and WiFi went out for half of our stay. Was ok since we were trying to unplug. Dining table is upstairs which was a little odd and master bedroom had no privacy as it is located in the open loft upstairs. Again no problem for us since it was a sisters trip. The river was amazing and location was perfect. Communication was exceptional.

Three boys and a River

Our boys loved the property! Close proximity to zip lines, rock climbing, waterfalls, Helen town center, not to mention water front private river access for splashing, rock skipping, floating, and Cairn building. House is well planned overall and kitchen and bathroom facilities were up to date. I would suggest owner invest in new laundry facilities, not efficient or quiet. The previous reviews mentioning a ‘lack of general cleanliness’ and ‘chipped dishes’ are consistent with my findings. The owner should replace the dishes…they have been loved and show significant signs of stress; ceramic dishes will crack after continued washing in dishwashers. Housekeeping needs to address cobwebs, greasy fingerprints on cabinets, and dirty hardwood floors…all give the property an icky feeling. As a hardwood floor homeowner myself, I recognize after a long weekend of river tubing and high foot traffic the floors will need serious attention. Bathroom linens were clean and abundant, but white…why white? It’s a riverfront cabin with very little white in the decor. My biggest complaint to go on record is the kitchen dish towel…one is provided. Bring your own from home if you plan to dry anything. High priced for location…needs better care, more comfy outdoor seating options on both decks, and offer a few more “everyday luxuries”…like two dish towels. 😊

Was nice 40 years ago when it was built

This was a nice property, 40 years ago when it was built.. Do not let the ad for you. This is not high-speed Internet. It is Windstream DSL only. You cannot do quality video streaming with this. We were told we would have high-speed Internet and it’s not. I am an IT Director by trade, I even reached out to the property management team beforehand to confirm Internet was good and it wasn’t when we got here. I was only pushing two megs down and .56 megs up. This property needs to be retired. There is no game room. They replaced the game room with a bed overlooking, but do not bring kids here. There’s nothing for them to do. Everything is just old and outdated. The bright spot was the kitchen. New appliances that were very nice. Now, the bedding, pillows, and sheets were all fresh and clean. It’s not about that. However, the unit needs a deep cleaning. The outside Has never been touched. There are cobwebs everywhere and it’s just lack of cleaning. The sofa has a big tear on the top of it. The shower had pubic hair all in the master shower. It obviously has not been deep cleaned. In addition, don’t let the two shower-heads fool you. Only one of them works with hot water. They also cut a big tree right off the back of the house and left a stump right in the sandy area where kids can play in the water. For the amount charged, they need to put some back into the house. It needs a ton of work and get FIBER! Never again!!!!!

Cozy, Comfy, Little Retreat

Sitting by the outdoor fire pit at night and listening to the river flow was such a relaxing experience. Great view of the river. The cabin inside is cozy and comfortable. The heater pump is a bit noisy but we slept great. Parking for 2 vehicles is snug. But we made it work. We had a 4Runner and GMC pick up. I’m very impressed with how well put together the cabin is inside. And the rock shower was amazing!
