Fantastic spot on the river.Easy walk to restaurants and shops. Gas grill on back porch was spotless as was the entire cabin. Will definitely aim for a repeat.
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.
Relaxing and quiet. Close enough to walk to Main Street. Enjoyed the porch and listening to the water. Beds were comfortable and enjoyed the coziness of the cabin.
We had a great time again staying in this cabin. Everything was very clean and the location is perfect! You can walk to everything!! We will definitely stay here again!
Highly recommend!!! My family did not want to leave. The home was super clean and comfortable, cozy and well appointed. Beautiful, quiet location on the river yet right in town with an easy walk to shops and restaurants and easy drives to local attractions. The hosts were very communicative and welcoming. We look forward to returning one day soon.
The cabin was in great condition and the River view was excellent. Having the fire pit close to the river made for a fun night. The host kept us informed prior to the stay and on the day of arrival.
Cabin was very clean and convenient to town. The property had everything we needed for a great stay. We had excellent communication with the host throughout the whole process. We enjoyed our stay very much and would book this property again.
Had another fantastic stay at the cabin. Unfortunately had to cut out a day early due to the forecasted ice storm. David was fantastic reaching out to us while there and providing local knowledge on the potential impacts. Will definitely keep returning to this peaceful cabin.
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!
Great place to stay and walk into town. Just sitting on balcony and listening to river was relaxing. Cabin had all the amenities you need. Just need to bring groceries to cook and eat. Definitely would stay here again.
What an amazing place to stay! So close to downtown Helen that you can just walk, but far enough away that you have some peace and quiet. The river running right behind the house is so peaceful. Sit on the back porch and just enjoy the sounds and views. The inside of the cabin is beautiful and has all you need. Thank you for the amazing stay!
Everything from check in to check out was wonderful. Great location, the river was literally right there, so close to groceries, hosts were great and communicative, will keep coming back!
This was our 9th stay at this fabulous cabin. We take a few trips to Helen each year and this is by far our favorite place to stay! We will be back in the fall.
