Luxury Cabin On The Chattahoochee River - Short Walk To Downtown Helen

Chattahoochee Charmer Is Helen's Best In-town Vacation Cabin, located on the Chattahoochee River about a 5 minute walk from everything Helen has to offer. This cozy, fully equipped, cabin rental is surrounded by a forest of oak and maple trees with backyard access to the Chattahoochee River. Fishing, tubing... just play in the water, and enjoy the soothing sounds of the river. Walk to the shops and restaurants, Oktoberfest, or have a horse drawn carriage pick you up. Plus, you'll love your hot tub found on the main deck, back yard fire pit, and outdoor TV. Entertain family or friends, and enjoy Helen, Georgia at the best-in-town cabin.

The living room with cathedral ceilings, rock fireplace and flat screen TV, also has double french doors leading to the main level deck with outdoor dining table, bench and seating.

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 & 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.
