Luxury Cabin On The Chattahoochee River - Short Walk To Downtown Helen

Chattahoochee Charmer Is Helen's Best In-town Vacation Cabin, located on the Chattahoochee River about a 5 minute walk from everything Helen has to offer. This cozy, fully equipped, cabin rental is surrounded by a forest of oak and maple trees with backyard access to the Chattahoochee River. Fishing, tubing... just play in the water, and enjoy the soothing sounds of the river. Walk to the shops and restaurants, Oktoberfest, or have a horse drawn carriage pick you up. Plus, you'll love your hot tub found on the main deck, back yard fire pit, and outdoor TV. Entertain family or friends, and enjoy Helen, Georgia at the best-in-town cabin.

Chattahoochee Charmer offers an open-air living space, with the kitchen, dining and living room in the center of the cabin. The living room with cathedral ceilings, rock fireplace and flat screen TV, also has double french doors leading to the main level deck with outdoor dining table, bench and seating. The master bedroom with smart flat screen TV and full bath is on one side of the living area, and the 2nd queen bedroom with smart flat screen TV and 2nd full bath are on the other side. Both bedrooms have French doors that open to the deck overlooking the river. A spiral staircase leads to the large loft bedroom, with smart flat screen TV and balcony overlooking the river.

For a minor uplift in price, there is a sleeping area for 2-4 children which adjoins the loft bedroom, nicknamed The Harry Potter Room! Great for families with young children that are more comfortable close to Mom and Dad.

Relaxing Vacation
The cabin's location is excellent right on the river. We really enjoyed our family vacation and the fire pit at night was great. There were a few issues regarding the cleaning company that was discovered on check-in. However, Billy made sure to rectify the situation including a personal visit to the cabin. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Great Outside Space
Love the outside space and location especially learning of the quick wood path to downtown. However, I would not consider this a luxury cabin without the higher end details such as updated bathrooms. Plus, the counter tops and toilets are very low. The host was easy to contact and thank goodness since our water was cut off with a lock on the meter. We were refunded one night of our stay, and it was corrected the next morning. We love to throw darts, but the dart board isn't really usable. Otherwise, the outdoor space is where we spent our time and it did not disappoint!!!!

Perfect Getaway
Rented this property for labor day weekend with my husband and our friends. It is a perfect location right on the river and a short walk to downtown. We spent a majority of the time just sitting on the river enjoying the view. Perfectly slept all 8 of us, though i will say the 3rd bedroom isnt really a room but it wasnt a problem for us. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Perfect for families. Lots of amenities for everyone of every age to do. Great location on the river and walking distance into town. We had such a peaceful and relaxing stay. The host thought of everything that we didn't even know we needed to make our stay great. Definitely would stay here again.

Very nice cabin!
The location and views were great. It was peaceful sitting on the deck looking at the river. It was very clean and the host responded immediately when contacted. The only downside is the spiral staircase that goes to the loft. It is very steep and luggage was difficult to get upstairs. The upstairs would not be suitable for very small children.

Fantastic Get Away!
The Chattahoochee Charmer exceeded our expectations. The location was fantastic, close to town which allowed us to walk to dinner and shopping very convenient. The backyard is even better in person, so much space.The hot tub was great in the chilly evening and the fire pit provided the perfect ambience. The house was comfortable and met all of our needs. We will defiantly be back. Thank you to the hosts that were very responsive to all of our questions. I strongly recommend this property.

Disappointing
The property & location were great but were quite disappointed by a few things. The hot tub was not in good working order as the temp of the water would not go over 99. Not acceptable! The hot tub is in a bad location, ( robes would have helped & were promised but not provided.) Owner needs to make customer aware of the tiny stairs to the upstairs (would definitely be a problem for elderly or heavy individuals) & never in all our years of renting have we had to provide our own toliet paper. One roll per bathroom for 6 people for 3 nights is NOT acceptable. This is our first time renting in Helen & we'll be going back to the Blue Ridge area. I cant recommend this property at this cost & would not call it luxury

Poor amenities
The property is nice but the owners sent a msg a day or so before checkin about no firewood provided, no trash bags, the need to clean and replace all dishes etc. never have had a vrbo that didn’t at least supply one start up or extra of these. And then get there and there an no extra toilet paper rolls or paper towels rolls. And no extra bedding or blanket. The windows in loft and Harry Potter bedrooms aren’t covered so sun is up so are sleepers which was children…not ideal. The property has great potential but would not put high on the rent again list. Seems pricey for the minimalist supplies etc. Just say renter be informed!!

Great Getaway Place
Nice place on the river away from all the rest of the crowd. After a night of Oktoberfest, we kicked back next to the fire pit with a bundle of wood supplied by the owners, and watched the fire and the river with a full moon! Very relaxing. We also were pleased with the outdoor television under the deck and watched the Dawgs beat the Gators before heading back into town for the festivities. There is a shortcut that takes you to the back of Paul’s which makes getting to town easy. The house was clean and very comfortable, and we all slept well. We have stayed at many other places in Helen and would definitely stay here again!
