Whether The Weather Is Stormy Or Calm, Helen Cabins Deliver
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to request the weather you’d like for your next vacation? But as the Rolling Stones say, “You can’t always get what you want”. Fortunately, to every cloud there is a silver lining, and in this case, that silver lining is our spectacular Helen cabins. When you choose to stay in one of our northern Georgia cabin rentals, your vacation doesn’t have to be a total wash just because it’s raining or cold outside. Whether the sun is shining or the clouds are rolling in, a visit to the Helen cabins guarantees a good time. Here’s a look at how you can expect to have fun in our Helen cabins no matter what’s in the weather forecast.
Sunny Days in Helen
When the sun is shining in Helen, Georgia, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the fresh northern Georgia mountain air. After waking up and enjoying breakfast on your cabin’s private patio or deck, you and your group may set out away from the Helen cabins and onward to a day filled with adventures. Perhaps your family would most enjoy going on an exciting zip line tour that will afford you stunning bird’s-eye views of the entire Sautee-Nacoochee Valley. Or maybe you’d rather explore the Chattahoochee National Forest on horseback, stopping at a pond for some bonding time over fishing and a picnic lunch. Most visitors to the Helen area also enjoy going panning for gold and precious stones at Duke’s Creek.
As the day goes on, you may decide to head into the heart of the Alpine village of Helen to visit all of the specialty shops. At the Christmas Shoppe, you can experience the joy of the holiday season – even when the hot summer sun is shining over northern Georgia. And be sure to make a stop at The Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen where you can savor free samples of fudge, brittle, and other candies before making a selection to take back to the Helen cabins with you. If part of your group isn’t partial to shopping, you may decide to split off so that you can enjoy all of the antiques in Nacoochee Village while the others go hiking or fishing at Unicoi State Park. Of course, by mid-afternoon you will all be exhausted and in need of a relaxing excursion down the Chattahoochee River in an inter-tube. Cool River Tubing Company is an absolute “must” when visiting the Helen cabins and will allow your family to cool off, splash, and play during a one or two hour session on the “Hooch”.
You’ll be able to close out your day by challenging one another to a round of putt-putt at the Alpine Mini Golf Course. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. When you wake up the next day, you’ll still have plenty to do and see from a carriage ride to a day trip to Amicalola Falls.
Rainy Day Fun
Don’t worry – a rainy day at the Helen cabins can be just as fun as when the sun is shining! The beauty of the vacation rentals is that there’s as much to do indoors as outdoors. Unlike a cramped hotel room, a little bit of rain does not mean that your vacation will be a flop. For starters, the 360 degree views of northern Georgia that your cabin offers are actually quite beautiful during rainy weather. You will be able to start up a cozy and inviting fire in your cabin’s fireplace so that you and your family can snuggle together and play board games or just enjoy one another’s company.
A drizzly day is also the perfect opportunity to enjoy a long, hot soak in your Jacuzzi or hot tub. It’s also a great way for Mom & Dad to experience some much needed alone time together. While you steal away to your private bedroom, your kids will be entertained in the cabin’s game room which may feature popular table games like Pool, Foosball, and Ping Pong.
If you’re brave enough to make a quick excursion out into the rain, you could pop into the Nora Mill Granary Grist Mill and Country Store and choose a bread, muffin, or pancake mix that you can whip up back in your cabin’s kitchen as a family bonding experience. You may also decide to take a short jaunt down the road to pick up some apple crisp mix or seafood batter mix for frying up yesterday’s catch from the Chattahoochee. Enjoy your tasty treats together as you watch a movie on your flat panel TV screen. A rainy day at the Helen cabins is never dull!
Are you ready to stop worrying about what you can’t control? When you visit the Helen cabins, you’ll have a great time no matter what!
