Amazing Mountain View & Cabin Retreat - Big Canoe

DonnaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This place was perfect for our extended family of 15 (ages3-66). There was plenty of space for everyone. The kids really enjoyed the game and movie room. The Beach Club and pool areas were outstanding for a nominal fee. This house was the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. I especially appreciated the first aid kit since one of the children stumped their toe and we needed the bandages. The views were great! Hopefully we will be able to stay here again soon!!

Bougie in Blue Ridge

HunterRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Laura was so friendly and when we had some trouble initially getting into the house, she was helpful and patient until we got the door open. The house was beautiful and so clean, and it was peaceful and private. We enjoyed late nights out by the campfire.

Big House with Big Mtn Views, Golf & Pool Access

ZainabRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Michael and Tara’s house was perfect for a group of 12 adults and a few small children. The bedrooms were big and comfortable, the kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils, and we had plenty of room to spread out. They also stocked the house with dish soap, garbage bags, shampoo/conditioner in each bathroom etc. which was a nice surprise. Michael and Tara were very quick to respond to messages and super accommodating when we needed an earlier check in time and more parking space. The view from the house is beautiful and we enjoyed the pool and the waterfall about a mile away.

Awesome cabin with great views

EmyleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My husband and I went there to celebrate our one anniversary, and it’s seriously the best vacation that we have ever done in our lives. The view is spectacular, the place is cozy and secluded. They have great amenities, we had a great time grilling some food, making a bonfire, and enjoying some time at the hot tub. The place was also extremely clean, and felt like home the whole time. We were sad to leave haha. Just book you all, you will love it from the beginning to the end. We can’t wait to be back next year!

The Great Escape

MaryRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is the perfect spot if you want peace and seclusion. It is about a 20 minute drive to sights and amenities (groceries). Very clean, lots of games if you get bored, and the kitchen is well-stocked. We were just a couple vacationing but it would have been a great house had we any children or friends in tow. Gorgeous view

Your guide to Helen

Introduction

In the 1960s, a group of enterprising residents transformed this then-struggling mill town in the Blue Ridge Mountains into a traditional Alpine-inspired village in a bid to attract visitors. It paid off. Today, the unexpected mix of sights—fairytale buildings and cobblestone paths, artisan pottery studios and Bavarian-style beer gardens—has helped make Helen one of the state’s most-visited towns. Its prime location doesn’t hurt, either: It’s within easy reach of north Georgia’s wine country and untouched wilderness. Hike to nearby waterfalls, shoot across Unicoi State Park on a zipline, or just tube through town on the Chattahoochee River before breaking for beers and brats, or returning to cozy up in your cabin rental.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Helen

Helen’s mild climate makes it a year-round getaway. Expect highs in the 60-and 70-degree (Fahrenheit) range in the spring and fall, 80s in the summer, and 50s in the winter. Whatever time of year you visit, pack a jacket as evenings can dip in temperature, and an umbrella for surprise (though typically brief) rain showers, along with appropriate outdoor shoes and gear.


Top things to do in Helen

Anna Ruby Falls

Reachable by a half-mile-long paved path in the Chattahoochee National Forest, this pair of waterfalls delivers a thunderous payoff without a lot of sweat. From the waterfalls, take the interpretive Lion’s Eye Trail to learn about the park’s ecosystem (the path is fully accessible, with signs also in braille), or try the more challenging Smith Creek Trail (9 miles roundtrip). Parking is limited near the entry to the falls, so try to arrive by the park’s opening at 10 a.m. during the peak season.

Chattahoochee River

From May to September, floating down the river in an inner tube (aka “shooting the Hooch”) is a peak Helen experience. Local outfitters rent inner tubes and offer pickup and dropoff services for a float that lasts 1 to 2.5 hours.

Sautee Nacoochee Center

This 8.5-acre cultural center gives you a full picture of Helen’s past, with galleries and sites dedicated to local Native and African American history, folk pottery, and gold mining. Or take a deep, restorative breath in the Native Peace garden.
