Wonderful property next to the river. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the screened in porch and sitting on the deck with the gas fire pit in the evening. We would definitely recommend staying here. The house has all the comforts of home and it's in a very quiet neighborhood. I guess the only downside is the extremely windy mountain road driving to and from Helen.

Extremely clean, comfortable and very well stocked with everything you need. Beds are very comfortable, living room is so cozy. The back porch was beautiful and the deck on the river stream was so peaceful and perfect. Highly recommend. The Chatuge Lake is breathtaking. Helen was fun. The area is just beautiful.

This is the second time we stayed at this property. Each visit was peaceful, relaxing, and comfortable. We found plenty to do with a twenty minute or less ride. The property is fully furnished with extras (k-cups and toiletries come to mind) available to you. Checking in is a breeze. The neighborhood is quiet and anyone we saw was friendly. The property definitely earns five stars.

Wonderful relaxing stay

Everything about this rental was A. Beautiful home, with all amenities. Owner did not spare a dime when providing everything that could possibly make a wonder vacation. Just sitting and listening to the running water of the river would have been enough, but great beds and linens, fully equipped kitchen and I can’t forget that wonderful bed swing on the closed in porch!!! . Just a small piece of heaven.

Perfect get away cabin!

The cabin was beautiful and right on the river, couldn’t have asked for anything better. Our trip was very relaxing, all the Christmas decorations they put up really made it feel extra special & magical! Hoping to stay there again in the future!

Lovely Home

The home is lovely and exactly as advertised. It was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our weekend getaway. The screened in patio across the back of the house was perfect for sitting and reading a book while listening to the river and the birds. Thoroughly enjoyed and would stay here again.
