River’s Edge - Cozy Riverside Cabin Near Downtown Helen, GA

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.

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.

Great riverside location

We were thrilled with the location of the cabin on the river and basically over the river. We loved spending time on the back deck as the river tubers floated down the Chattahoochee River. The hot tub made a great end to every evening.

Overall our vacation experience was very good. The rental cabin needs some remodeling, but it was a beautiful location right on the Chattahoochee river which made the trip very special! RA- Covington,Ga.

Helen visit

The property was fine. It's probably better designed for a visit where the temps are not in 20's. The HVAC didn't keep the cabin warm enough at night and in the early morning hours

Great place to stay

The house and location was wonderful. Just minutes from downtown Helen and a grocery store. The only thing that I didn’t like was they need a little sign at the entrance where the road ends. It looks like you are going through someone’s yard . It’s the drive way to get to the cabin . Other than that it was perfect

Rustic yet modern

This cabin is rustic yet modern. We loved that it was secluded yet close enough to town to make quick trips (you could walk if you wanted to). It was easy once we arrived as all of the access information and detailed map instruction was text to us before we arrived. It was spotless which immediately put us at ease as we were travelling with a 1 yr. old (if you have one, you know how much they love to pick up anything they see and go straight to their mouth with it). The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking/eating utensils.The linens/towels were clean and fresh and each bathroom had a "welcome" bag of toiletries which is nice as I always tend to forget something. The beds and furniture are comfortable to the point of dozing off on them a time or two. The front porch hangs slightly over the river so we had a 'blast' shooting water guns at tubers (per their request of course). The kids loved playing in the water. The river, at rhe time, was at the perfect level to sit down in and cool off and not have to worry about it being too deep for the kids. We were planning on doing the tubing trip but had more fun staying at the cabin and interacting with the 'tubers'. There is a fire pit right next to the river if you want to stay outside and a grill (and hot tub) on the deck. I will definitely re-book this place.

Hidden Gem

This little cabin is tucked away overlooking the river. We loved that this cabin was so close to town yet you feel insulated from all that. The hot tub overlooking the river was fun. The property is well maintained and we had zero issues. Would love to buy this place if it ever becomes available.

Ga-fl Jeepers snow day

Our stay in Helen was amazing!! My husband has a Jeep group on Facebook we watched for a good percentage of snow to come and posted we were booked and ready to wheel! This cabin was perfect for us it was right on the river close to the trails we ride and a 3 min ride to downtown Helen! Very clean and well stocked with the essentials! The Host was very accommodating in preparing us for the weather to come!! We will definitely be back! Only suggestion is maybe a tower heater for the porch in the winter!!
