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.

The property was clean, location was perfect. The door did not lock and we could not reach anyone to tell us how to fix this. But we did now have any trouble while the door was unlocked. Plenty of hot water!!!! Kitche was well supplied. Very comfortable. You feel like your oit of town secluded but very close to downtown Helen. It was a pretty location. Quiet neighbors. Very restful even being so close. The internet was spotty which ment the tv was spotty. But we were there for thw sweet little town.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.
