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.

Wonderful down by the river
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.

Nice place
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.

Wonderful cabin
Absolutely beautiful fall views but location would make a lovely summer location as well give. The river running behind the cabin. Well appointed and comfortable for all. We really enjoyed the game room for rainy days that kept us more indoors. Would love to return some time!!

Excellent, Private and Room for the whole family!!
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!!

Lots to do!
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.
