Family-friendly holiday rentals in Helen

Such a perfect and private place to celebrate my 30th birthday with my loved ones. The home has a great layout for a girls trip and so many sweet spots to hang out on the porch. The location is also amazing for nature adventures!

Great place to stay! Felt right at home with great views. Had no issues, the host is responsive and helpful. Private and peaceful overall a great place!

We had an amazing family time! Beautiful house, comfortable beds, we loved! There is no body wash or shampoo, bring yours. 😊 close to town, very peaceful surroundings.

DON’T miss your chance to experience the magic of the River Love barn. Kangee’s EXCEPTIONAL hospitality throughout our time in her home set the tone for the entirety of our stay. Her attentiveness & genuine warmth made us feel right at home. The beauty of this property is truly beyond words. While the photos online are stunning, they don’t fully capture the enchanting atmosphere that envelops you as soon as you step onto the grounds. Our favorite spots were the clawfoot tub, perfectly nestled in a private, serene area of the property & the outdoor hammock within the screened in back deck. Kangee truly brought the outside in with her thoughtful design. Even on a rainy day- the sky lights during a storm that had passed through was such a reminder of the cozy atmosphere that permeates the barn. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway or a relaxing family trip, the River Love Barn is a hidden gem that I cannot recommend enough. We left feeling refreshed & inspired, with hearts full.

The place was great and super clean. Close enough to town, so you can walk and no need for a car ($10 for full day of parking in town). The loft was awesome since you can wake up with the natural lighting coming from the window, and the bed was comfortable. The downstairs room was great as well. The shower was on the smaller side, and we wish it had a different shower head (like the one with a hose), but overall, very clean and comfortable bathroom. The jacuzzi was great and spacious for 2 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen had everything except a pizza pan, but we managed to make a pizza with a metal tin the oven had inside. Overall was a great experience; the place was really nice, cozy and comfortable. It was close to town, but it was far enough that it was quiet, so we had a really good night of sleep. Definitely recommended and would go back.

Such a nice and cozy cabin for our weekend getaway! Bonnie was amazing and was easy to communicate with! Would definitely visit here again!!

Great location, easy parking. Will stay here again

An unforgettable experience, everything was beautiful, waking up in the morning and seeing the deer around the cabin, the sunsets on the balcony, in short, our experience was magical, Amy was very attentive and explained everything in detail, no problems in the cabin, everything was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, and the rooms were very comfortable with everything ready, I definitely want to come back! Thank you Amy !

This was a cozy cabin completely outfitted with everything you need. Best part of the stay? Sipping wine on the back deck watching sunset over the mountains. Next best? Tea in the early mornings watching the deer walk through the property. It’s very peaceful. GREAT place to recharge and relax.

Everything as expected. Back porch with view the best! Didn’t use tv instead stayed on back porch and visited with family.

This is the fourth time we have rented the cabin. Three times were for five weeks each. We love it there and could not ask for a better host, very responsive to our needs. Each time we return there are new additions to the property, this time a lovely fire pit and stairs leading from upper parking lot to cabin. Very peaceful and quiet with a pond on the property. We look for the deer and turkeys on the road to the cabin.

The cabin was truly "off the grid", as the road to the cabin could use a bit more gravel. However, our Corolla made it up and down with no issues even through some rainy days. The tires slipped a bit and we ended up at some interesting angles at certain points, but it was entertaining. Ensure you arrive with sunlight to help you locate the address. We arrived in the evening. Greg made sure he checked in with us to make sure we arrived with no challenges, which was nice! The area is private and quiet. You are literally in the woods. We didn't see any wildlife, but got spooked by the noises a few barred owls made near us. The firepit was a great addition. Kitchen and rooms were well stocked and clean. Linen and towels smelled fresh. I did end up hearing some buzzing every time I was in the upstairs bedroom and attributed it to the tons of bees in the area, but saw no evidence of anything scary inside lol. We truly did enjoyed our time and explored all over Blue Ridge!

The cabin has a cozy feeling and is located nice and secluded at the end of a neighborhood, with plenty of privacy. Due to the weather we did not get to enjoy the outside but the bonfire looks like a great place to sit outside with family or friends. When booking, we didn’t realize the upstairs bedroom does not have a door, although this did not bother us because it was just my wife and I. We would go definitely come back here. Host was friendly and easy to communicate with.

Always a great stay! Quiet and relaxing. This place has been consistent through the years and that's why I keep coming back.

Had a great week and a half at Rick's place. Felt right at home as soon as we walked in. Very clean and comfortable. The grounds are amazing! So peaceful and perfect for sitting out on the porch! Morning coffee out there was the best! And great for a quiet happy hour after a day of hiking. We went either hiking or 'exploring' every day. Hike down around the lake is a great place to get a good workout in. About 3 1/2 mikes aroind. Climbed the 665 steps up to the top of Amicolola Falls! Beautiful park and falls. Cooked most of our meals in, kitchen had everthing we needed. As one or two other guests mentioned, if you're there to watch TV or use the internet, reception is not good, but we only cared to watch some news in the morning before we left for most of the day. Came back, ate dinner, sat on the porch, read for awhile and hit the hay. Slept great! PS- Rick is a fast and great comminicator.

Very clean, comfortable, and walking distance to downtown, Clarkesville. Quiet neighborhood and a fenced-in backyard.

The gardens were incredible and the surrounding area was so beautiful I couldn't get over it. Mountains, creeks, horses, sheep, donkeys. Beautiful trees. Birds singing all the time. Ferns everywhere. Loved Richard and Raymond! Their taste is impeccable. They were kind and attentive. Would love to be their next door neighbor.

This cabin is fantastic and Joeseph and Lorena were great at communicating. I ended up proposing to my girlfriend at this cabin and they were accommodating to make everything perfect. There were so many thoughtful gestures like a personalized sign and have other cool things like deer feed and bird feed. The pictures of this cabin don’t do it justice! Views are amazing, clean, and all of the games you could ever want to play. The only thing I would note before you book is make sure you put the correct amount of people staying. Even though the cabin sleeps 8, I only reserved with 2 because I didn’t know how many were staying. There is a fee for anyone over your reserved amount. I ended up having 3 others stay for a total of 5 and still had to pay extra for them. Something to note. Everything was amazing and would recommend to anyone to stay here!

We come to Murphy all the time to visit family. We will definitely book again here if it’s available!

Place was great and peaceful

Amazing view, comfy beds, great location!! Secluded feel but the grocery store and much more is a short drive away. Honestly I could’ve sat on the back porch and looked at the mountains and river all day. The pool was a nice spot, well done little area. My daughter enjoyed the little playground. Happy we booked this place!

Loved the cabin. Great for a getaway. Had a great time and hopefully will be coming back soon!

What a delightful place to stay. Plenty of room for the seven of us. It was great having the choice of playing ping pong, billiards, and such. Hiking was close by, and we were able to see multiple falls. So beautiful and peaceful.

We were having our family Christmas get together and was so happy that the house was still beautifully decorated for Christmas. That made our gathering extra special! The house was perfect for our group!
