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.

Secluded and Peaceful

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.

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!!

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 property with lots of room and amenities!

The house was very nice and well stocked. We brought a lot of extra things we didn't use as they were readily available in the cabin. The kids really enjoyed the river access and the adults enjoyed the pool table. Hot tub was so nice at the end of a busy day. The kids games were in rough shape... lots of missing or scattered pieces, but we had brought some of our own. The only negative comment I have is that the grass really needed mowed. But overall, everything was great!

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.

Great property but beware of steep driveway

The property and location are excellent. It’s a short distance from Helen and other attractions. Big yard on the river, the kids enjoyed the fire pit and rec room. The only issue is the driveway, especially during wet, icy conditions, unless you have a 4x4 or strong SUV/truck, your normal everyday car or truck will have issues getting up the driveway. At certain places, the grade is a twisting, steep 45 degree angle. The day we arrived it was rainy and leaves had covered the driveway, making it impossible for the van to get out of the driveway. You will need to have the property manager clear the driveway of any wet debris (leaves, ice, etc) before driving up. I will spare you the details but a tow truck needed to be called. Don’t let this discourage you, just take this into consideration.
