Helen is part of White County in Georgia located just beside the Chattahoochee River. It is a small yet beautiful city with a population of only 510, according to the census done in 2010. Its name originated from the daughter of a lumber official bearing the same name. Helen used to be a logging town, however, it eventually declined. In order to save its economy, it was turned into a replica of a Bavarian alpine town. That being said, it is now considered one of the best places to visit in Georgia, especially for couples since it boasts plenty of romantic things to do.

Escape the toxic city pollution and visit Helen
Helen is a quaint and lovely city of Georgia, which only has a population below a thousand. It is situated near beautiful towering mountains as well as gushing but refreshing bodies of water, meaning there are plenty of things to do out in nature. Starting as a logging town, it declined and became a tourist destination for being a replica of a Bavarian alpine town. That being said, it is the perfect destination to kick back, relax, and detoxify both your body and mind. We hope this list of secluded cabins in Helen, Georgia will help you be on your way to a relaxing vacation ahead.
