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.

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.

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.

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!!

Back in the boonies

Older cabin right on the river. Can tell the cabin has been built on to but it all worked well. At the end of a gravel road in the woods but everything you need and still only a mile or so from downtown Helen. Deck in excellent shape right over the river. Not glitz and glitter but a welcome change from condos, etc. Plenty of parking and only six or seven easy steps up to the cabin. The kind of stay you will remember.

nice 2 bedroom 2 bathroom set up with full kitchen and plenty of entertainment (board games, tv, outside activities, etc). We visited in the winter so it was a bit too chilly to do much hiking or water activities. The location is "off the path" -- grateful they sent some instructions in the guestbook about finding the entrance otherwise we would have been so lost. Too far to walk to main st but still enjoyable stay.Everything was enjoyable and comfortable for our 3 day, two night stay. The beds were soft and comfortable. Wifi works. Fireplace was gas and had a nice timer feature. The pictures do not show you that across the river, looking out from the back porch, the neighbors have a graveyard of broken down vehicles sitting in the yard. Perhaps the trees would conceal it a bit more in the summer when they're lush and full. We thought it was a secluded area, but there are many houses surrounding it across the river. Not enough to notice any noises or things, but keep in mind that if you were on the deck or in the hot tub you can be seen by neighbors.I will note that, you do need to sign a VERY lengthy rental agreement document that involves reading a lengthy terms and conditions document from the renters website and it all feels much too intense, especially since booking through VRBO you already agree to certain terms and conditions. But understand that the renters likely found it necessary due to unfortunate prior experience.

Good times!

A little difficult to find initially because it looks like you’re driving in someone’s yard with no sign to let you know to drive down the grassy lane. But location is cool and we had a blast. Home is in need of repair and update with significant water damage, the jacuzzi water was clear but had a strong stale smell so we flushed it with the hose to make it usable. And understand you are looking at a bit of a scrap yard 30 feet away across the river. With that said it’s still pretty cool to look down from the deck at the water streaming by. House has everything you need and more.

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.
