Helen, Georgia is located in the North Georgia mountains, which have an antique, natural beauty of their own. In this area, you will find lots of history, orchards, humble restaurants, and even some pretty great places to get some booze. But when going into downtown Helen, guests are greeted with a German-esque themed village, where all the buildings seem to have been transported from another time and country.
Food ranges from hearty bratwurst and sauerkraut to ultra-sweet goodies like candies and piping hot funnel cakes. A river runs through downtown, and people float by in the summer on bright pink neon tubes. Oktoberfest brings multitudes of people in for the celebration, and if you listen closely, you might hear yodeling coming from a distant hill in the mountains.
Helen is truly a fun destination, and we have compiled a list of wonderful Airbnbs to accommodate you during your stay, from cozy cabins to stylish chalets.
Cabin with Hot Tub, High Above Helen
Sit high above Helen, and admire the town‘s beautiful lights while lounging by the fire pit at night! The simplistic cabin features a lovely bedroom, which has a vibrating memory foam bed. Why did vibrating beds go out of style? There’s nothing quite like a little muscle relaxation after traversing around on foot all day. The home has an updated kitchen with glistening countertops and plenty of space to prep meals or snacks. After creating an ultimate charcuterie board, with wine pairings, enjoy a soak in the outdoor hot tub.
Cabin with Fire Pit & Hot Tub, Dog Friendly
Many custom touches reside within the super cute cabin, one of which is the front door which features woodland creatures such as bears. Overall, this front porch is a total haven, with super comfy swing chairs with extra-plush cushions. While the indoors presents nicely and features three bedrooms and lots of places to lounge, the outdoors really feature numerous spots to chill. Dine at the picnic table that is also under the covered porch, jump in the hot tub that has its own little gazebo nook with ambient café lights, or huddle around the fire pit and flip a coin for who gets to sit on the swing seat. Furry friends get to come along when staying here.

Cosy Cabin Located in Downtown Helen
Imagine sitting on your private deck, while sipping on a creamy cup of hot chocolate, with extra marshmallows, then gazing down to the adorable Bavarian-themed village. Particularly beautiful when lined with Christmas lights, the downtown view of Helen is one worthy of a postcard. Not only will you have great views, but you can just walk to town, to grab some freshly made fudge, or to ride around in a horse carriage. Once you see how much traffic can flow through Helen at various times of the day, you’ll be super grateful you can just walk.
Black Bear Creek Cabin
Adorable red and green embellishments have been added to the exterior of this cabin, which gives it a very Bavarian feel. Inside, guests can expect a streamlined, clean-cut cabin, that is still just as cozy as any other woodsy abode, especially when sitting by the oversized stone fireplace. However, the porch is the most outstanding feature of the home, as a little stream runs right underneath it. Lean back and relax, while listening to the tranquil sounds of running water, and don’t forget to look up every now and again to admire the beauty.
