Great place!

My daughters and I stayed here for a long weekend and loved it! The cabin is beautiful and the location is great, both quiet and close to everything. If you’re a book lover, I highly recommend visiting Mt. Yonah book exchange. The owner is amazing. We also enjoyed the safari drive through.

Spring Break Get-Away

My husband and I are teachers, and we just needed to relax. The cabin is cozy and right on the river. It is very close to town, and we even walked one time to get some exercise. I highly recommend staying here.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: the inside was very clean and nice, but the outside needed a lot of maintenance, weeds growing everywhere and steps and deck needs painted. The American Flag needs to be fixed for sure.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My husband and another couple stayed here for a weekend getaway in Helen. The property was exactly as listed and had a wonderful, homey feel. We loved the Christmas decorations and the homemade ornaments you had as a souvenir. Very clean, great location! We will definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very clean, comfortable and relaxing stay!!!! The location is extremely close to town (walking distance) and felt very safe the entire time!!! The only tip I have is for the lockbox upon arrival. Check in was at 4 pm and the lockbox didn’t allow us to enter until 4:10pm.

Weekend respite

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved Cabin on the River. As a family in the middle of moving, it was a welcomed respite to the mountains and the cabin provided the perfect place. The cabin was well stocked, temperature control was ideal, and the beds were comfortable. The quiet neighborhood made us feel like we were secluded from town and the close proximity made daily activities accessible. We would definitely consider returning if we visit Helen again.

Right on the River!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was right on the river. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the mornings and loved that we could put our chairs right in the water on hot afternoons. We walked right up the bank to the water park which was very convenient! The cabin itself could benefit from a good pressure wash and updated decor, but it was clean and comfortable and located in a quiet area that was still close to town. The staff at Georgia Mountain Rentals was friendly and helpful. We’d definitely rent from them again.

Excellent location. Easy to check in. The office is very responsive. There is no dining table-eating is done at an island. Well stocked kitchen overall, but no lids for the pots and pans and missing some items like potato pellet and masher. A gas grill was a nice touch.

This cabin is in a beautiful area and was mostly clean. Someone that stayed there prior to us had a big fire in the fireplace and there was a thick coat of soot on the front of the fireplace and mantle that would leave black marks on you or your clothes if you got anywhere near it. They leave you nothing to clean with other than a couple pods to wash dishes. The doors stick terribly and the back door is almost impossible to unlock. The furniture is in need of refreshing and is uncomfortable. The mattresses were comfortable enough but the pillows are flat and hard. You are more than a mile from downtown area so bring your walking shoes if you want to go to the shops without dealing with the heavy traffic.

Memorial Day weekend

A beautiful cabin right on the river. The only drawback was the steps going up and down, but we managed.Too bad the weather wasn't warm enough to get in the river. Enjoyed watching the ducks and geese. Also response was quick on a few minor things I had to call the office for. Also thank you for the cleaning crew turning in my necklace and Georgia Mountain Rental contacting me about it. God Bless you!

Love Helen and staying on this side of town!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely cabin, and super friendly staff! I was able to check in early but had an issue with the lock, after a short diagnosis over the phone they sent someone out who arrived within minutes! Got us into the cabin and fixed the lock before we got our stuff set down. The location is great, parking is covered which is super nice. Big bath upstairs and a shower downstairs, two large bedrooms and a lovely deck on the back. The living room and kitchen are specious with a lovely view out the large windows facing the river. Housekeeping did a great job, it was spotless. Lots of extra blankets too which was a great touch! Overall a fantastic stay, always great renting though y’all!
