About this property

River's Edge - Ultimate Riverfront Cabin w/Hot Tub

Guests will truly enjoy River's Edge and all that it has to offer. This rustic 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin is the perfect place to enjoy nature while listening to the sounds of the river running by from the open deck overhanging the quick currents. A fisherman's paradise - trout fishing right in front of your own cabin - catch your limit on the beautiful clear waters of the fast flowing Chattahoochee River.

The property is close to the Chattahoochee Wildlife Management Preserve and there is something for everyone in the area: fishing, hiking, river tubing, or horseback riding at Sunburst Stables or just relaxing in the hot tub on the deck as you watch the river flow by. Could it get any better than this?

This perfect spot for rest and relaxation is in pure nature. The headwaters of the Upper Chattahoochee River are steps away and still, the cabin is only 1 mile from the vibrant center of Alpine Helen, GA. This cozy cabin is located just minutes from the shopping and dining of the delightful alpine village and is a short drive to the spectacular Anna Ruby Falls, Dukes Creek Falls, Smithgall Woods Center, and Unicoi State Park. It is the perfect vacation cabin for a couple or small family.

River's Edge is lovingly cared for and features a cozy stone, wood-burning fireplace, wood paneling throughout, and a well equipped kitchen with everything you need.

Location:
• 3 Minutes from downtown (1.26 miles)

We had a great time at River’s Edge. The cabin was cozy, clean, and exactly what we were hoping for. The fire pit was a highlight—perfect for relaxing evenings by the river.The location couldn’t be better: right on the river and just minutes from downtown Helen, so it felt peaceful without being remote.The host was attentive, responsive, and available whenever we needed anything, which made the stay completely stress-free.Would absolutely stay here again. Five stars all the way.

Wonderful cabin right on the river! We enjoyed the spacious cabin, especially the deck over the river. This was the perfect spot for a weekend of trout fishing! After fishing and exploring the town it was nice to come “home” to a relaxing hot tub and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. We’re already planning our return trip next year!

Pictures on ad were misleading, thought my husband and I would be staying in a private cabin, but our view across from the creek was a home with a bunch of junk in the yard, hot tub didn’t work, and would have been pointless to sit in the hot tub with no privacy because the neighbor was constantly walking around his yard. Bed was comfortable and the atmosphere inside was cozy, and I liked the convenience of being close to downtown Helen. Wouldn’t stay there again though, no privacy was a big factor.

Relaxing River Retreat

Our stay was amazing! Going to sleep at night with the sound of the river was so peaceful. We loved being able to wake up in the morning and sip our coffee overlooking the babbling river. We definitely plan on booking this rental again.

The location is unbeatable, but I was extremely disappointed with the difference in the pictures on Vrbo and the actual cabin. The cabin's interior design is not as advertised. Also, the pictures on Vrbo fail to show the junkyard across the river. The flood lights were also out. They sent someone to change them, but they never worked. Being in bear territory, the lights would have helped in the evening and at night for safety. Also, there was a layer of dust over everything in the cabin when we arrived. I'm assuming it was cleaned a while ago and was not cleaned before we arrived.

Peaceful stay right outside of town.

My wife and I had a great stay at this property. It is located close enough to town to consider walking but far enough away to feel like you can escape the main attractions. The property is very well maintained and the communication was well-timed and easy to work with.
