The description was accurate. The property is nice. We were a party of 6 adults and everyone slept comfortably. There are three bedrooms, one with a queen bed and two with king beds. There is also a full bed and a day bed in the loft on the third floor. The river was a little too swift and we didn't catch any fish but it was quiet and relaxing and we saw lots of wildlife in the neighborhood and on the property. We did cook on site and nearly everything we needed to cook with was on site. We used the hot tub, played pool and other games on the first floor. The board games in the ottoman on the second floor are a mess, I wouldn't bother trying to sort through to find all of the pieces. The driveway is steep but we made it! Overall it we enjoyed our stay.

We only stayed the weekend but would definitely stay here again. We didn’t even realize we had neighbors until the next day and still never seen or heard anyone. The house was nice and clean, check in was a breeze, and, well, just the peace and quiet we needed.

We had an awesome time at Down by the River! The property was clean and with plenty of room for my family of 7 to stretch out. We have 5 kids- 3 girls and 2 boys- the boys stayed in the game room the whole time, the girls in the upstairs loft and my husband and I in the main level master. We all had our own floor, it was perfect, private and so much fun! We plan to come back in the summer again so we can use the tubes to float down the river! We got to do s’mores over the fire pit at night and my husband enjoyed the hot tub!! Can’t wait to come back again!!

If you are looking for a beautiful stream in the backyard of your property, a lot of amenities inside the house and outside. This is a wonderful place for you. I would caution that the driveway coming in is rather steep, but doable.

The house was very nice and well stocked. We brought a lot of extra things we didn't use as they were readily available in the cabin. The kids really enjoyed the river access and the adults enjoyed the pool table. Hot tub was so nice at the end of a busy day. The kids games were in rough shape... lots of missing or scattered pieces, but we had brought some of our own. The only negative comment I have is that the grass really needed mowed. But overall, everything was great!

Lots to do at the house! Only downside is that it's about a 18 minute drive to downtown Helen. The owners are very responsive. The pans need to be replaced, so just be aware if you plan on cooking while there.

The property and location are excellent. It’s a short distance from Helen and other attractions. Big yard on the river, the kids enjoyed the fire pit and rec room. The only issue is the driveway, especially during wet, icy conditions, unless you have a 4x4 or strong SUV/truck, your normal everyday car or truck will have issues getting up the driveway. At certain places, the grade is a twisting, steep 45 degree angle. The day we arrived it was rainy and leaves had covered the driveway, making it impossible for the van to get out of the driveway. You will need to have the property manager clear the driveway of any wet debris (leaves, ice, etc) before driving up. I will spare you the details but a tow truck needed to be called. Don’t let this discourage you, just take this into consideration.

The property was great. We had a wonderful time. The only issues were the hair dryer didn’t work and there was a cricket in the wall in the bedroom in the basement. Despite those things we had an amazing time and plan on booking again.

Great property. Look for soap in the purple bag. We didn’t find it until late. You’ll need firwood/fire starter/ accelerant for the fire pit, it wasn’t provided but we left ours! Enjoy. The master bathroom caddy is dangerous and falls and probably needs to be replaced. Taxis/ride shares are very limited/non existent. There were crickets in the closet in the downstairs room locked closet that keep guests up the entire stay. Otherwise, LOVELY PROPERTY. Would go back and would recommend. 5 stars?

The cabin was beautiful and lots of space. The 3 1/2 bathrooms was a plus for 6 of us plus plenty of sleeping areas. We had an issue with the oven and a new one was brought out and installed promptly!! The communication was great! The river was beautiful although the water level was too high for us to feel comfortable getting in it was nice to sit and have coffee by the river . The only thing I would suggest is chairs for by the fire pit. We had to drag the chairs from the table on the deck over. The game room was nicely equipped. We had to get used to the extremely steep driveway but managed it ok. We had an amazing stay and have talked about booking this cabin again in the future.

Great fishing, great getaway but some things to be aware of

Great fishing, great getaway but some things to be aware of

In general a nice property. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable living space, we felt the beds were fine and slept well. Fire pit area and yard are nice. My husband caught (and released) fish hand over fist. He was thrilled. A few things that need attention are the fire bowl - the bottom is basically rusted out and makes fires a little tough and should be replaced, a few things like doors that don’t latch right or stick but nothing too major. The steps into the basement could use a handrail. Also in the game room one of the air hockey tables doesn’t work and the ping pong net is broken, but the other air hockey/ pool combo table is great. 3 things to note that might be an issue for some. The driveway is beyond steep. In any sort of inclement weather you would need a 4 wheel drive. Lots of steps. With only one bedroom on the main floor make sure steps aren’t an issue.. Finally, river access is unfortunately very difficult. There are two separate sets of steps that give access, but there is no bank at the river level. Basically my dad and son couldn’t fish because there was really no way to do it because you have to get into the river. There is a picture that shows the steps but it would help if there was a view from across the river. If I had seen that I likely would not have booked here as fishing was the big attraction. My dad tried to fish a little from the stairs but slipped and fell at one point. It is really a shame. It would be great if they could either grade the bank or cut it back and build a deck or something like the place across the river has. Overall I do recommend this property however it wasn’t ideal for the group we had.

Nice place for a family visit. The river in the back yard is great for fishing. The cabin needs a deep cleaning. The blinds need repaired and cleaned or replaced. Shower tiles need to be scrubbed. Indoor fireplace needs to put off some heat. It could be a really nice place with a little care and a lot of cleaning.

The Cabin has everything you really need for a nice experience in the woods. The grill, the fireplace, the river and game room are all very convenient things to have when looking for a place to unwind. However, be advise that the drive way is very steep, and on rainy days we had quite challenge getting our van out of there. Unfortunately, the cabin needs a good deep cleaning and some of the pots and pans need to be replaced. The location is adequate, is very close to Helen, Ruby Falls and Brass Town Bald... Ingles Markey 18 min away.
