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.

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 cabin was wonderful. The location was good,We did encounter one problem. When we went to get extra towels from under the sink they were soured. They had been put away damp. They smelled awful and was unusable.

What a great cabin! I highly recommend this. We had others go with us to Helen and they stayed in various other hotels and they all dedicated this cabin as the meeting spot. The owner also supplies you with everything from toilet paper to cups and even sheets and blankets. I will definitely rent again.

We have visited Helen several times and tried VRBOs and hotels throughout the city. This is BY FAR our favorite. You can easily walk anywhere on the strip, but it’s very tranquil on the cabin’s street. The cabin was exceptionally clean and cozy, and it was stocked with literally everything we could need. You can tell the owners really put a lot of thought into what their guests might need. Our favorite part was the beautiful back porch. I would gladly stay here again and recommend it to family and friends.
Loved the view!

Easy check in and easy departure. We loved the cabin. My 91 yo mother-in-law had the downstairs bedroom and bath. My husband and I had the bedroom and bath in the loft. Both were great. We loved the location on the Chattahoochee River. We sat on the balcony porch drinking our coffee in the morning. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with us.

We love this cabin, this was our 6th.stay here.It would be nice to have grab bars in the two large tubs. The balcony is great, but could use a really good scrubbing. We love sitting on the balcony watching the tubers and the river.

Helen - home away from home

This cabin was amazing and enough out of the way of all the noise down town during the busy weekend and offered a great home away from home. Had all the necessities and great location for a little fishing just steps away from the door steps. Hope to rent again for our next vacation.
