The perfect amount of space. The views and convenience to down town was amazing. the back yard was a cozy oasis of peacefulness. They thought of everything to make this the perfect vacation spot with kids
Had an issue with the hot tub being nasty during the stay. The owner communicated very well and sent someone over. They drained it and refilled it but did not remove or replace nasty green filter or add clorine so it was already starting to smell again the next day. The beds in the cabin are also very worn out and have large visible dips in them and not comfortable at all.
The property was nice and clean, but my brother in law had to fix the shower head and we had to defrost the ice machine. The spiral staircase is interesting, definitely hard to navigate with luggage. It was a convenient location, just the hiccups listed above.

Location was perfect! Second shower did not work….we all had to use the same bath. Helen was a great place to visit….it’s a very unique and lovely town.
Check -in was a breeze. The outdoors of the house was great. Location, couldn’t have been better. Indoors was fine, but could use some updating… especially with mattresses. We had a good stay overall.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Location & comfort of this cabin is great. This home did not appear to have been cleaned very well. Dead bugs in floor of loft bedroom, Harry Potter room looked as though someone had slept in it and it had not been cleaned so we would not allow our Grandson in there. Floors needed to be swept and vacuumed. Messaged owner by text and VRBO due to light going out in bathroom with no response.
Excellent outside amenities and an amazing location.
This was a beautiful place. Outside the yard, river access and all of the amenities you could ask for are amazing. Inside was very nice as well. Wonderful place to stay.
We had an incredible stay at the Chattahoochee Charmer. Billy and Tina were gracious and attentive hosts. The cabin is perfect-cozy and spectacular! The location is incredible. We walked into town and to dinner. The outdoor experience is also amazing here.
Family loved the home. Perfect location for us to enjoy the river. Home was clean. The Harry Potter room has portable a/c which was full of water and was not working. We had to move mattress into the upstairs bedroom for kids to sleep on. Other than that have no problems returning.
Loved everything about the Chattahoochee Cabin! Perfect location, beautiful scenery, comfortable beds and lodging! We had so much fun on our adventure to Helen, Georgia!
We live in Statham, GA and own a learning center, Kidz Academy, located in Winder, GA. We take a very hands-on approach to managing our business, therefore we work very long days. When we are fortunate enough to take time off for pleasure we enjoy visiting our cabin, the Chattahoochee Charmer. We also enjoy camping. So when our cabin is rented we are camping and exploring the area in our Jeep Wrangler with the top down. We have two boys and they also have Jeep Wranglers and enjoy camping with us. We have been visiting Helen and enjoying Oktoberfest since 1977. Our entire family would all meet in Helen for Oktoberfest...great times were had and great memories were made! Everyone should experience Oktoberfest in Helen!
Why they chose this property
We rented the Chattahoochee Charmer the first time nine years ago and we fell in love with it! We rented it four more times and it was always our dream of owning this cabin! When we camped in the area we would always drive our Jeep by the Chattahoochee Charmer continuing to dream. In May of 2014 we were making our traditional drive by and noticed the For Sale sign in the yard. Our dream came true in June 2014. The Chattahoochee Charmer is our place to go to relax and to continue to make amazing memories with our family and friends. If you every stay at the Chattahoochee Charmer you will never stay at another cabin in Helen!
What makes this property unique
The most unique benefit of the Chattahoochee Charmer is the location. The cabin is located on the Chattahoochee River within a short walk to downtown Helen. You have incredible rivers views from all of the bedrooms, the family room, the hot tub, the huge deck and the outdoor patio and fire pit. The river bank offers a unique beach that allows easy access to the river to wade or swim. The cabin is located in an area of the river that offers the best trout fishing in White County...the largest trout caught in White County was reeled in near our cabin. Everyone that stays at our cabin LOVES that you can walk to downtown Helen...within 5-7 minutes you can enjoy all of the activities in downtown Helen including Oktoberfest, shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, candy shops and much more!
