This place was amazing! The beds were very comfy and I loved that there were blankets everywhere. The hot tub was very clean! It is not advertised, but there is a TV in each bedroom! We saw a groundhog directly outside the stair window! We will stay again!!

Comfortable cabin with river views
We very much enjoyed our stay at Rivers Rest Cabin. The first floor mudroom area was great for dropping dirty shoes. Kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed. The bed configuration was great for our family. We spent a lot of time out on both balconies (2nd floor and 3rd floor have a balcony) watching the tubers. We would stay here again!

Great stay in Helen!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at River's Rest. With little to no free parking in the Helen City limits, it was great to be within walking distance! We all enjoyed the river, teens and adults included. Highly recommend!

Great Girls Weekend Property
We had a very relaxing girls weekend trip. The property was in a great location, and a short walk to downtown. The hot tub, the gas fireplace, and the large bedrooms made for a cozy place to relax. We will definitely be back.

It was a walkable distance into Helen. The driveway was NOT motorcycle friendly. Although short, it was extremely steep and a bad angle.

Late summer getaway
Amazing. This condo was excellent. Clean, fully equipped and the view from the balcony/porch divine. There are a few steps to maneuver so keep this in mind. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We walked into Helen every day, sometimes twice a day.

Great family get away
Christmas trip with our two college aged “kids”. Plenty of room for everyone to sit and enjoy sports on the tv or play games at the kitchen table. Sound of the rushing river while sleeping was awesome! Unit was very clean and other than needing at least one additional dish towel and a dish rag or two everything was perfect. Short walk into Helen. Would highly recommended!

Rejuvenating
Loved so much about the property and stay. Enjoyed the decks, hot tub, trout fishing while my wife could watch with a cup of coffee from the deck, great cabin feel to the townhouse, etc.
Only things that were “negative” the road is narrow and has two-way traffic and the driveway is very steep. It gave my wife anxiety backing down it since the river is at the bottom.
