River romance apartment on the river !
I had a great stay. The place is very easy to find and in a great location. Was very impressed with how clean and organized everything was. Would highly recommend staying at river romance.

“On The River”
My friends and I had a wonderful weekend here! I can honestly say that this was one of the most welcoming Airbnb experiences I've ever had. The hosts greeted us and gave us a thoughtful tour of the space, and they even prepared delicious homemade cookies for us. They also ensured that heaters near the river functioned well, and they made themselves available for any questions. The location and room itself were peaceful and incredibly comfortable. I already hope to come back for a get-away weekend once the weather warms up! I cannot recommend this Airbnb enough.

2bd/1ba Mountain View Suite by National Forest
This is a wonderful location!! The Ocoee people!! Come stay here and enjoy the outdoors with a touch of city life for those who need it!

River Suite For Two
My husband + I loved our second stay at Kendra and Steve’s River Suite! They are such gracious hosts and have a beautiful little slice of heaven in Helen. We are already talking about our next visit! 💜

The Hooch Hideaway
Mervin was an amazing host and his Airbnb was perfect. You have an amazing view right on the river, great restaurant underneath the listing and all around the location. Everything is walkable and convenient. We felt very safe and the place was clean and comfortable.

Lakeside Retreat on Lake Lanier
We had a wonderful stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for a peaceful lakeside retreat. Having direct access to the lake was a highlight, and the host was friendly and helpful, offering great local recommendations. Highly recommend!

Georgia Home w/ 2 Fire Pits & Creek Access!
Me and my friends spent a week at this place. Even though it's a shared space, it's very private. The surroundings are beautiful and it's a great place to unwind and relax, highly recommend!

Cozy loft steps away lake Chatuge! Mountain Views!
The resort is lovely! It’s a nice get away. Just keep in mind cell service is limited in this area! It’s beautiful. 😍

Mountain House Rental at the Lake
The home was very clean and comfortable and anything we needed was provided. It is quite spacious yet sitting in the living room at night with the gas fireplace turned on was so cozy. Sitting on the back porch was peaceful and serene - total bliss. Gloria is a wonderful host and I would recommend staying here and hope to again.

Pondside Porch House
I’m tempted to write a bad review so more dates will be available when I’m ready to come back. This was our 2nd visit and it was great again. So much to do without leaving the house. Fishing, kayaking, volleyball, badminton, ping pong, foosball, fire pit, board games, etc. Great price too! The only problem this time was that the WiFi was a bit spotty, even after a couple resets. Probably for the best though! Looking forward to our next visit soon hopefully.

Cove Cottage: Near Lake Lanier Olympic Park
Great and beautiful place so quiet I loved it 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lake Front Home with Private Dock in Gated BearPaw
Our family has been coming to Bear Paw for the last 20 years for our family reunion. This was our first time in this cabin, and it didn't disappoint. Plenty of space, and our children truly enjoyed the game room and well stocked board games. We ended up meeting the neighbors when enjoying the lake and they were so wonderful as well.

Lake Front Tiny Home on Timpson Cove
We will have to come back and visit this wonderful house and boat house in the summertime. I can only imagine how wonderful it is when you can enjoy sitting on the dock and soaking in this beautiful lake. We visited on probably the coldest weekend of the year, so we did not get to take full advantage of all the amenities. Everything was really nice and we had a very relaxing long weekend.

Cartecay Riverfront Home w/Fire Pit & Hot Tub
Highly recommend this Airbnb! Kim was super sweet, highly responsive and has thought of everything in the house. The kitchen is equipped with almost any cooking tool/pots & pans. The house comes with plenty of towels & toiletries. Besides the river, the coffee bar was probably my favorite part of the house; what a well thought out & fully stocked coffee bar! I had 2 special requests and Kim was wonderful about both. Check in was easy-peasy. The river is stunning. We enjoyed cool wildlife like beavers floating down the river & hawks flying above clutching their catch of the day. And so many birds singing! We enjoyed a very clean hot tub after a long day of canoeing & hiking. I also loved the special touch of seasonal decor throughout the home showing extra care about their guest’s experience making it feel like home. The kids enjoyed the pool/air hockey table a lot so that was a great feature upstairs! Thanks Kim!

Peaceful 4 bedroom Lakehouse with no neighbors
Perfect getaway for Thanksgiving with the family. The views, the lake, and the amenities were perfect and fit the descriptions listed. Andrew was an awesome host, very responsive and proactive. Highly recommend!

Inn The Cove Lake House
The Inn at the Cove is such a beautiful and peaceful home! Linton Realty did everything to make our stay one of the best experiences we have ever had at Airbnbs! We appreciated the daily communications and recommendations for activities and restaurants to try. And we absolutely loved our “welcome committee” in the neighborhood dog, Whiskey! We will be back. Thank you for having this available for us.

Newly Renovated Lakefront Villa - Chatuge Lake
Beautiful stay in a beautiful place. Amy was really great, and the condo was perfect for our group. Would definitely love to come back for another stay!

Mountain Lakes Retreat
Great little weekend getaway for our family of 4 including 2 small children. So many amenities and lots to do. The view from the patio with the porch swing was amazing!

Brand New on Toccoa River-Kayakers dream
The place was clean, cozy, and absolutely exceeded our expectations. The photos don’t do it justice! The property was gorgeous and we even got to feed the trout off of the bridge! The hosts checked in on us on our first day to make sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking to hike, there are plenty of good hikes within 20ish minutes of the place which was super convenient. It was the perfect place for a quiet, peaceful mountain getaway. We loved every minute!

Walkable 2BR Riverfront 2nd-Floor | Balcony
Quick trip from Florida. Great spacious place for the family and pricing was on point comparatively to the surrounding market. Will 100% recommend and book this exact condo in the near future.

2 master suites ! Easy walk to town River Access
Sherry’s place in Helen was ideal. The view of the river, the ease to access, all what we were hoping for. Comfortable throughout, nice bedding, plenty of towels, and very quiet. Kitchen was well appointed and the refrigerator was, well, next level! The one thing that I will note is, for older folks like myself, a youngish 70, it might be a little longer walk into town then you might want. Doable, but longer than one might think. Overall, an awesome place!!

Chattahoochee River House 1
Great and responsive Host. Location was great and within walking distance of Helen attractions. Home still had festive decorations and was very clean and cozy. Will definitely be back for Oktoberfest. Thanks for a great weekend!

Happy on the river 2 master suites
This spot was amazing to stay in and we would absolutely visit again. Close enough to downtown to have fun but far enough away that you felt like you had a private space in the woods. The upstairs swing was pure bliss with a cozy, fluffy blanket on a brisk morning. The only real issue we ran into during our stay was with parking. The garage only fits 2 cars comfortably and we had 3. The person with the most reliable E brake gets the hill! Also, bring your own toiletries. They weren't provided and the local store is a little pricey.

Riverfront Downtown Helen Condo 1BR 2BA Jetted Tub
We enjoyed everything about the stay. The location was perfect and within walking distance to everything in Helen. I really liked the seasonal fireplace and how clean and cozy the condo was. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.
