The location was perfect! Everything was so clean and cozy. The view from the porch was wonderful and the way you enter and exit the rental felt safe and protected us from the rain when carrying our luggage from the car to the condo.

The listing perfectly describes this relaxing unit right on the river. The cart and elevator were a great touch for bringing in personal items. The unit is walkable to all of Helen. It was particularly convenient for tubing.

This was the perfect location for a girls trip! My best friend and I enjoyed it so much! It was so convenient and we were able to park our car and walk into town to explore. This saved us a lot of money as parking is 10/ day downtown! We enjoyed coming back in the late afternoon to relax a while before going out to dinner. It was neat to see everyone tubing down the river from the screened in back porch and/or window. We also had our coffee and morning chats out there and will definitely be back!! Thank you for sharing your lovely home on the Chattahoochee with us:)

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. The location was excellent very close to all the shops & places to eat in Helen but still very quiet. The river in the backyard you could hear from the screen porch was a wonderful bonus. I would definitely stay here again if we returned to Helen.

The location was fantastic as we were able to walk to everything and didn’t have to worry about paying for parking. It was clean and the host was quick to respond to any questions. The view of the river was awesome. Would love to come back when it’s warm enough so we can float down it!
