Vacation Rentals in Helen, Georgia

Helen, GA Accommodation Guide

Vacation cabins in Helen, of the Blue Ridge Mountains, sit quaintly along the Chattahoochie River, and hold the promise of tremendous outdoor fun each and every morning. Helen is a Bavarian alpine village famous for its views and its Oktoberfest festival (held September through November). It's also very tourist-friendly, so there's plenty of great dining and shopping to take in.

Guests of Helen mountain rentals have lots of attractions and activities they can fill their vacation days with. At the top of the list is Anna Ruby Falls, a sparkling waterfall with a trail leading up to it. Hikers looking for more than just a great view, but a fun challenge, too, should check out the Raven Cliffs Trail, Dukes Creek Falls Trail, and the Unicoi State Park. Besides hiking or biking, there are other ways to get in touch with nature: Black Forest Bear Park is home to bears and reptiles!

Helen's also got museums. Scarlet's Secret is a plantation home paying tribute to Gone with the Wind. The Old Satee Store is not just a place to shop, but a place to sightsee, thanks to the many oddball gifts. Then there's Charlemagne's Kingdom, a gigantic, German-style model railroad with hot air balloons, rivers, 22-foot mountains, and more. (This attraction is also pet-friendly, so consider pet-friendly cabins in Helen to go with!)

To really kick up the fun a knotch, though, spend a day at the Helen Tubing and Water Park. Just make sure you're staying in one of the Helen cabin rentals listed here, so you can have a comfy place to retire to after a long day outside!

What are you waiting for? Blue Ridge Mountain lodging ranges from pet-friendly to riverfront to handicap accessible, so take your pick and then plan your trip!

Helen Vacation Deals

On a budget? No problem. Helen mountain cabins fit every budget. Whether you're looking for luxury or just a great view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, you'll spend a lot less money on a vacation rental than a hotel. Helen vacation rentals are private, spacious, and full of unique amenities (like a private hot tub). However, they cost the same as (or less than) a hotel! If you're visiting Helen with a big group or family, it just doesn't make sense to cram everyone into a tiny hotel room, or book several hotel rooms. Instead, spread out in a Helen vacation home with a gorgeous view of the mountains, river, or both!

Here are some additional tips for keeping your Blue Ridge Mountain vacation affordable. By visiting on week days and non holidays, you can enjoy cheaper rates. Visiting during a Helen Oktoberfest weekend (September through November), on the other hand, will be more expensive, since this is a peak travel time. Also, once you've booked your Helen lodging, take advantage of the amenities and save even more money during your stay. With your full kitchen and dining area, for example, you can dine in every once in a while and not overspend at restaurants.
