Alpine River Bend 1

We LOVED this location! There was a large bedroom, bathroom, and living area that was perfect for two. We enjoyed the gas fireplace over the cold weekend and the hot tub was a PERFECT touch for a relaxing evening! We'll definitely visit again!

Close to the main area of Helen but quiet enough to relax when need.
Overall experience was wonderful!!

With ample space for two, this could have been the perfect vacation rental.
It was clean and had nice amenities. We enjoyed the hot tub but were disturbed by the noisy occupants in the unit above us. We were also disappointed in the “No Trespassing” sign that kept us from walking along the River which originally drew our attention to this property. The wi-if was spotty and I suggest bringing your own pillows. The king size bed was comfortable except for the iron backboard combined with queen size flat pillows. Location was perfect! Not too far from downtown but far enough to avoid a lot of crowds.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. The no trespassing at the condo is meant for those not staying there! We will certainly address the pillow situation with the owners. We hope to host your next stay in Helen!

I emailed and talk with Sherry I told her no stairs. I explained my partner is a disabled veteran . I was sure surprised when I opened the door and counted fourteen stairs. Yes it was a bottom level the basement level. No ice trays, never stayed at a place that didn't give at least one free packet of coffee. Will not recommend or stay here again.

I felt the property manager was intrusive. Multiple email, texts, and calls about arrival and departure times that was really none of their business due to a rather extensive rental agreement that I had already previously signed. I think there was an issue with hot tub maintenance that should NOT have impacted our stay. The hot tub was locked up and not accessible regardless. Upstairs apartment was excessively noisy. You could hear every footfall and each morning we were awakened before 7am by the upstair neighbors. Even an attempt at an afternoon nap was interrupted by an apparent hot tub maintenance in the upstairs apartment. Recommend noise abatement repairs to the unit. Recommend better instructions for TV usage, hot tub access and usage, and even some new materials on local happening would be helpful (The only material in the apartment was 20 years old. The kind ladies at the Helen Welcome Center were extremely helpful, though and provided lots of free material.) There was a general lack of attention to detail although the place was cozy, neat and clean. Tub and shower need to be updated and repaired.

I enjoyed the apartment.. although I was expecting a few more amenities as far as the kitchen area and lighting in the den. There needs to be a lamp in the den area by the TV or maybe put another stand for it. The TV in the bedroom is on the small side - should be bigger. Hot tub combination was not given. Property was not where I wanted to be but it was still a good location.

The unit was in need of paint to cover water stains .The shower needed to be up dated. Everything else was good.We only stayed two nights as we did not realize that a first floor was 16 steps down so we gave up the fee for the third nigh..We did not use the hot tube. The view was ok.

This is our second year renting Alpine River Bend 2, from Georgia Mountain Rentals. We are always pleased with everything. The apartment is perfect for a couples getaway! We will absolutely be returning again next year!

Needs a new shower head, and better instructions for the hot tub, how to unlock it, how to heat it up, etc. The A/C drip pan leaked, we called maintenance they sent someone out who shop vacuumed the water out and said to call back when it got full again and they'd come do it again. We were there on vacation not babysitting the A/C drip pan duty. We feel that could have been taken care of better.

Well pleased with the location and easy proximity to town. Loved the creek outside the backdoor.

My boyfriend amd I went here for a weekend getaway and it was perfect. Close to the downtown area very clean and cozy. I would definitely stay here again.

This is an ideal location and perfect for couples with kids. We stayed in Alpine cabin 2. Everything was nice and clean with our arrival, we did have issues with the fire place, but we didn’t really need to use it. Great space and will visit again.

Great time on our honeymoon! It was my husbands first time in Helen and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay for his first Helen experience. 5 stars!!!

Very beautiful locale. Very cozy accommodations especially for couples. Fantastic customer service. The only issues we had were too much noise from the guests in the condo above us and inability to access local channels to watch live NFL games. It’s a mountainous area and there were recent community-wide changes regarding cable/satellite TV providers. This negatively impacted TV watching for my spouse who is an avid NFL fan. Guests should be aware of this possible issue and bring their own Roku or DirectTV login information so they can access programming that might be unavailable locally.

Thank you for reviewing your stay at the cabin!

This worked for us. Close to Helen but not too close. The backroad route got us downtown quickly and avoided the traffic. Two of us stayed there 3 days, a couple of extra wash rags would have been nice to have. Please note this apartment is downstairs. The stairwell to get down to the living area is narrow.
