A 3 star, average, experience at a 4.5 star property. Bathrooms, kitchen & rooms very clean. -1 star Downstairs patio not usable, pollen bugs & bird poop on furniture; only table to dine on in screened patio covered in pollen, cleaned it and the chairs; chandelier covered in cobwebs; cleaning tools visible around house; holes in screened in patio so not completely bug free. -1 star Expect a grill to have propane included, not a pleasant surprise after long drive and grocery run that all 5 cans were empty. Called property manager, straight to voicemail. Owner immediately answered, said to refill nearby. $28. Heard back a few hours later from property manager, it’s in the fine print on website link we received a couple days before that it may or may not have propane. I’d like to know that in my decision making while booking. That said, we had a wonderful time by the river and it was comfortable to stay at. Drive to property wasn’t bad in big truck.

Great house. Very comfortable with plenty of space. Back porch is the best part. But the driveway is no joke, it is very very steep.

Really enjoyed some time with friends and all of the kids at this spot! Right on the river and we loved all the adventure and the time spent by the fire. Super quick ride to some downtown spots but far enough out we could disconnect.

Wonderful property! The only suggestion would be to add a firepit down by the river. Might return for a summer trip.

Only half of us were able to make the trip due to illness, but the ones that went made it sound so awesome that we plan to schedule another trip and hope for good health.

We had such a great time at this cabin. Sitting on the screened porch listening to the river was everyone’s favorite. Cabin was conveniently located to places like Helen, etc, but we didn’t want to leave the cabin. Such a well appointed cabin in an absolutely beautiful location. Hope we can visit in the summer to enjoy being in the river.

My family and I enjoyed our stay! The home was very clean & had everything we needed. We enjoyed preparing most of our meals in the kitchen & the weather was perfect for dining on the screened in porch. The views & sounds of the river were lovely this time of year along with the fall colors on the trees.

This house was perfect for our girls trip. The house was updated and clean and the location on the river was so peaceful. I only wish it was a little closer to Helen, where we spent most of our time. But other than that, I would definitely come back with my family.

Beautiful setting! The house was everything we expected! Would definitely recommend.

Kitchen well stocked and the decor is perfect. Views and sounds of the river are unmatched. ❤️

We stayed here two years ago and fell in love with the location. We put our tubes in at the house, float down the river, get out at Duncan Bridge where there is a shuttle and it’s a 15 minute ride back in the river to the house. Perfect so no one needs to worry about driving or toting tubes. At the house, we always tend to gravitate to the screened in porch where we can hear the rush of the river rapids. Always a great time and Kent was very responsive when we reached out to him. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic stay! Lovely spot on the river and the deck was our favorite hangout! Lots of space for big families!

3 generations of family and 2 dogs stayed at the river house. We had an incredible time tubing, whitewater rafting, and visiting the North Georgia Zoo. The area is convenient to everything you can need. The house was extremely well stocked with everything from linens to kitchen stuff. Every year we do a family vacation thru vrbo and this has been as wonderful as any we have used. We would definitely recommend and would go back again.

Just as described. Clean and pleasant. Driveway is rough but overall great.

This is our second time at this property. We love it. It's serene, right by the white water river with sound of rushing water. Besides just relaxing by the river and hiking multiple trails in the area, I recommend Wildwood Outfitters kayak rental which is about 10 min from the house.

This property is absolutely amazing!! The location is perfect as it’s a nice peaceful retreat right on the river with just a short drive to multiple towns (Helen, Cleveland & Cornelia are all 15-20 minutes away). We had an amazing time & there were so many amenities! They included more items than you typically see at other properties. They literally thought of everything!! The communication was great both up to & during our stay. I would definitely stay here again. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a slightly larger living room as our crew watched a movie together every night & we had to get creative on the seating. It was still a great trip & much of that was because of this awesome property.

Absolutely beautiful place.

Relaxing, beautiful setting. Home owner thought of everything to make the guests feel welcome and totally comfortable.

First I must say that everything was perfect the communication with the owner was amazing , he was always checking on us, the cabin is perfect, it is equipped with everything you need (believe me everything), they have thought of everything, the location is perfect, pet frendly, my children spent good time and an amazing Christmas , the cabin was very clean and the river it’s a plus so relaxin , I recommend it 200% , I'm already looking for time to return next year, I just have to say thank you for everything!

Great location with easy driving to Helen but peaceful for relaxation. House is well stocked with everything that you will need. We enjoyed sitting by the river, playing on the rope swing and board games during the rainy days. Definitely a cabin to come back to in the summer to enjoy the River.

It was a very quite and peaceful place to reflect on the important things in life. We wanted something different this year for Thanksgiving and we got in this place. After our big lunch the kids went out and explored the rive and the woods. It was great!

The cabin was beautiful, perfect for adults. I wouldn’t recommend it to someone older or with small kids, to many stairs. It wasn’t convenient for my older mother.

Beautiful property. Great weekend with family for wedding.

We have rented all over through VRBO and this is one of our favorites yet! Beautiful, clean, spacious, with fun right in the backyard (river tubing and swing). Great base for exploring Anna Ruby Falls, Tallulah Gorge, Helen, and Dalohnega. The gravel common road leading to drive is hard, and the paved driveway is crazy steep, but the cabin is worth any challenge (which I was able to navigate in a minivan). The kids (aged 19-9) are ready to come back (but really, they didn’t want to leave)!

Great place to stay while taking part in Octoberfest in Helen GA.Loved the river being so close.

Great place to stay while taking part in Octoberfest in Helen GA. Loved the river being so close.

This amazing property has three stories with plenty of room. Dozens of kayakers passed down the river as we enjoyed being outside on the river. Just minutes to Truitt McConnell, Cleveland and Helen. Awesome

If you are ok w the rough road and steep driveway into house you will love the house and river area. We loved our stay and the owner was very helpful and welcoming. Plenty of rustic charm and the sweet sound of the rapids below! Excellent getaway!

We had a great time overall. Loved that the kitchen was stocked for cooking with pans and utensils. Loved the porch which was screened so we could hang outside without worrying about bugs. And the little “pool” along the river was perfect!

This area is beautiful. The house is beautifully remodeled and has everything you need to enjoy your time there. Hard to leave the back porch. There were very few people on the river until Saturday but we enjoyed watching the people in kayaks and tubes. The property manager answered every question quickly and made our stay easy and enjoyable.

Our family throughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We spent majority of our time on the porch listening to the river. The next time we come to Helen, we will try our best to book this cabin. Thank you for answering my emails and letting us rent your fabulous cabin.

Words to describe this wonderful vacay home in Smokey Mtns on the whitewater Chattahoochee River: A beautiful home, scenic views, privacy, 20 minutes from town of Helen GA where you can go tubing, ride a Mountain Coaster, shop til you drop, enjoy delish cuisine in many restaurants, miniature golf, etc. This was our 6th VRBO rental and it was absolutely the best. House has top-of-the line furnishings and appliances. Very clean with quality bed linens and towels. All the amenities you could think of in kitchen and rest of house. Has a nicely decorated screened-in porch overlooking the Chattahoochee River which ran below the house. Porch was carpeted, ceiling fan, big screen tv, large table to enjoy family meals, lounge chairs. We enjoyed many hours on porch enjoying the beauties of the river and the forest around us. Only one neighbor, who we never saw or heard. Perfect sense of privacy. Our twin 9 year old granddaughters enjoyed fishing (with Tupperware bowls!) in a protected little pool on the shoreline. Caught some whoppers....minnows. Although we didn’t try fishing, there’s trout in that river! Loved watching the kayakers navigate the river right at our doorstop. The owner was just awesome. Answered any inquiries we had immediately. He made us feel very welcome. Wish he would invest in more vacation rentals in other states too. We would rent from him no matter where in the US. He was that good! Highly recommend this home as a vacay getaway in the beautiful Smokies.
