The sound of the river was divine. We enjoyed walking to the downtown area and enjoying all the Christmas decor. I was quite happy the cabin was decorated for Christmas and had many comfy blankets throughout to keep warm.

It was a walkable distance into Helen. The driveway was NOT motorcycle friendly. Although short, it was extremely steep and a bad angle.
