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!

Lovely cabin in the woods

We had a wonderful stay at the riverside cabin in the woods. Downtown Helen was a short walk away. The cabin had everything we needed to make it a memorable family vacation. Thank you!

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!

Cozy Getaway

Cute little cabin tucked away for peace and quiet but close enough to walk everywhere in Helen. Perfect location for plenty of hiking. Cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Loved watching the river flow while sitting on our balcony.

Wonderful chalet

Restful location on the river. Chalet was marvelous and the special touches such as fall decorations, extra quilts and pillows was much appreciated The washer and dryer allowed us to refresh our bathroom linens during our stay Only downside is that my husband and I traveled with 2 female friends and the upper bedroom doesn’t provide as much privacy as they would have liked

Mother- Daughter Get Away

This was our first time to visit Helen and we wanted a cabin or house instead of a motel room. This cabin was perfect. It was very clean with comfortable seating area and comfortable beds. The porch overlooking the river was so inviting and relaxing. We loved the quiet neighborhood and the short walk to town to shop, eat, or buy food items at the local grocery store. We would highly recommend this cabin and hope to get back for another stay in the future! The owner was very responsive to all our questions.

Wonderful Home right on the Edge of Historic Helen GA!

Our Christmas stay was fantastic thanks to this wonderful waterfront home, tastefully decorated for the season. Our host was extraordinarily responsive during the extreme cold snap (single digits!) and did his utmost to keep the heating and pipes operational. The house is perfect for a large group and had everything we needed. The "elder accessible" nature of the home was a huge help for the grandparents. Very quiet area and horses across the street were lovely. Town is right around the corner, literally. Couldn't be better. Thanks for making our family gathering a success!

Wonderful Spring Break

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Helen Riverside Cabin and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the immaculate condition of the property, which boasted upscale appliances and thoughtful amenities that made our stay incredibly comfortable. The cabin’s proximity to downtown Helen – just a half-mile walk – offered the perfect blend of convenience and seclusion. Nestled on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, it provided a serene retreat that felt like a true cabin in the woods. Our host was exceptionally kind and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. What stood out most, however, were the thoughtful touches throughout the cabin. From extra lounge chairs for relaxing by the river, to a ready supply of firewood for the fire pit, and an abundance of towels, blankets, and pillows – it was clear that every detail had been carefully considered to enhance our experience. We didn’t encounter a single negative aspect during our stay, which speaks volumes about the quality of the property and the level of care from our host. I wholeheartedly recommend the Helen Riverside Cabin to anyone looking for a high-quality accommodation near the city, with the added bonus of river access. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway or a convenient base to explore Helen, this cabin offers the best of both worlds.

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.
