Are you dreaming of a long, relaxing vacation, but you’re low on funds? You can save a lot of money and still have a lot of fun with a stay in Helen. To start with, a cabin rental is really affordable… but that’s not all! Here are 6 other ways to save even more money when you vacation in Helen.
Money Saving Tip #1: Drive to Your Destination
The cost of flying is astronomical these days, so you can easily save a lot of money by driving to a nearby vacation destination instead of visiting a far-away place. A luxury mountain cabin in Helen is only a couple of hours drive away from many parts of the country.
Also, you’ll save on car rental costs or taxi fare by bringing your own car to vacation. There’s so much to see at Helen that having a car will be convenient. When you bring your own car, all you need to pay for is gas and you’ll be able to go anywhere you please.
Money Saving Tip #2: Cook Most of Your Meals
One of the biggest expenses of a vacation is food. Going out to eat at restaurants for all of your meals can easily become a serious drain on your pocketbook. You can reduce your food budget while on vacation by cooking more than half of your meals. For instance, you could cook your breakfasts and lunches and then go out for dinners.
Luxury cabins typically include a fully equipped kitchen that comes with appliances, cookware, and everything else you need to whip up a delicious meal. Make it special by cooking together as a family or cooking up a delectable brunch for everyone to enjoy.
Money Saving Tip #3: Stroll Around the City
The city of Helen is a charming place to just walk around, for free. All of the buildings are designed in the Bavarian style that’s so well known in Germany. You’ll feel like you’re actually in the Alps instead of Georgia!
There are so many little shops that you can browse through, from sweet shops that give free samples of nutty fudge to delightful stores that have various handmade souvenirs on display. There’s a lot of opportunities for people watching, as well. Stop by the bridge over the Chattahoochee river and watch the people on tubes float by. Take a seat at a beer garden and relax while other tourists walk by on the street.
Money Saving Tip #4: Embrace Mother Nature
A great thing about staying at a quality mountain cabin is that you’ll be surrounded by mountains and lush greenery, which are free for you to enjoy.
Go for a hike, do some bird watching, and visit some waterfalls. Although there are some natural sites that require a small payment to visit, the costs are so low that you’ll still be saving money as compared to what you would pay for many popular tourist attractions.
For a whole day in nature, consider going to the Cloudland Canyon State Park. The park has five hiking trails, some as short as two miles and others as long as 12 miles. There’s even trails that will take you around the rim of the canyon at the park and down to the canyon floor. Just make sure that you bring appropriate hiking supplies, such as water and snacks in a backpack, for a long, fun day that won’t cost you very much money.
Money Saving Tip #5: Vacation With a Group
Since a cabin in Helen can have up to five rooms, you can make your vacation even more fun and save money by staying in one cabin together instead of getting separate hotel rooms. You can split up costs for the cabin rental, as well as food and transportation costs. And what’s more fun than vacationing with a large group of friends and family?
Money Saving Tip #6: Take Delight in Downtime
Even on vacation, on some days you just want to stay in and relax. In Helen you can do that and never get bored like you would if you were stuck in a hotel. Many cabins have hot tubs, jacuzzi baths, a pool table, game tables, and/or scenic views. Simply enjoying a day lounging around in your cabin, in a charming environment and all the amenities that come with it, is a easy way to save some money.
For a budget-friendly vacation that’s also memorable and exciting, consider checking out a luxurious and fully equipped log cabin in Helen. What other ways do you save money when you’re on vacation?
