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!

    Great cabin, great location, great time! We had an amazing time on our visit to Helen. Part of what made it great was the cabin. It was clean and cozy and had much to keep us entertained. We loved being by the river and relaxing next to the fire. The location felt quiet and secluded, yet it was a short walk into town.

    We loved everything about our stay at the Riverside Cabin in Helen! The location was close enough to walk to everything in town. My husband loved being able to walk to Betty’s every morning to get his favorite coffee. The deck was the perfect place to sit and read a book while we listened to the river and the rain on several mornings. We used the fire pit out back every night. The kitchen had everything we needed. Our youngest loved the upstairs loft bedroom. We visit Helen a couple times each year and this is our new favorite place to stay!

    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.

    Our one and only complaint would be the bathroom upstairs has walls that do not go all the way up (due to the cathedral ceiling, I assume) and that removes quite a bit of privacy. That said, you can NOT beat this location, the river flowing by, the firepit. I would stay here again even with the bathroom issue.

    There is nothing more relaxing than walking into a cabin and noting how clean and well-apportioned the place is. From making our reservation to our stay to our eventual departure, the hosts made sure we were well taken care of, and that care allowed us to enjoy the Helen GA area...the shops, restaurants, sights, local trails, and other attractions. The cabin is set back from a creek, has a firepit and picnic table to enjoy, and is just a short walk to the center of town. Our stay was filled with relaxing mornings sitting on the veranda, sipping a cup of coffee or tea, and just watching the day wake up before heading out to investigate the area. Then heading back to the cabin for evening musings and puzzle assembly. It made it hard to leave and if we are ever in the area again, this woodsy cabin will be our number one choice. Thanks for having us.

    I now understand why so many people have posted about staying multiple times at this cabin. It truly is the perfect location! We enjoyed watching people tube down the river after we went tubing ourselves. Then, we walked to Betty’s Country Store to pick up some steaks to cook on the BBQ grill on the porch. The next day, we walked around Helen a couple of times and returned to the cabin to rest. With a rainstorm approaching, we headed to the Fun Factory before it hit and found plenty to do inside while it rained. Not only is the cabin in the perfect location, but it is also beautiful and cozy, with lots of extras such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, extra blankets, and even a bunch of sticks for tubing. Book this cabin now before someone else does!!!
