Your vacation is a time to escape the stress and pressures of everyday life and have some fun! Where can you visit to ensure that everyone in your group will have a great time? Northern Georgia offers a large array of exciting excursions that are both family and budget-friendly. To get you started on your vacation plans, here are five ideas for fun activities close to the cabins in Helen.
Zip Across Georgia
The newest zip line tour near the cabins in Helen is brought to you by ZipNTime. This unique and exhilarating tour will allow you to soar high above the canopy of northern Georgia trees and the lovely mountainous terrain.
Not only will you take in the sights in a way that is simply not possible from the ground, but you will also be transported through time. The ZipNTime tour will guide you through the rich history of the Nacoochee-Sautee Valley, its native inhabitants, and even Georgia’s gold rush.
Shoot the ‘Hooch
For visitors to Helen Cabins, an afternoon of tubing is the quintessential day trip. This relaxing activity is an excellent way to cool off and unwind as you drift lazily down the Chattahoochee River, delighting in the sights and sounds of nature. All along the way, you will have ample opportunity to embrace quiet time with your thoughts or enjoy the company of your loved ones.
If you’re still not convinced, you may change your mind when you learn that you can actually go tubing for free! For travelers who make online reservations with us at Cedar Creek Cabin Rentals, we are delighted to discount your price to match the cost of an afternoon of tubing for a family of four at Cool River Tubing Company.
Reel it In
Northern Georgia boasts some of the most plentiful trout fishing in the entire nation. Enjoy some family bonding time while fishing in the Chattahoochee River, Chattooga River, or one of the many creeks near the cabins in Helen. No experience? No equipment? No Georgia fishing license? No problem! Head on over to Unicoi Outfitters in Nacoochee Village for a lesson (or refresher course) in fly fishing – just ask for the “Gilligan Special”. This deal includes an hour of instruction and two hours out on the river. Who knows – maybe you will even reel in a trophy trout to fry up back at the cabin.
Saddle Up
Another family-friendly activity can be found at Sunburst Stables. Offering several tours ranging in length, you’re sure to find the perfect ride for your whole family. Even if your party includes small children, your kids can saddle up with you and share a horse. You will explore the Chattahoochee National Forest on horseback, and will even pass by a miniature animal farm.
If you would like a longer ride, you can opt for the tour which includes a picnic lunch. Regardless of what works best for your group, everyone is sure to have a blast. The best part is that when you book online with Cedar Creek, we will extend a voucher for a free horseback ride (a $40 value)!

Nacoochee Village is packed with craft, antique, and clothing boutiques to keep you entertained. The Alpine Village of Helen is also a great place to check out for one-of-a-kind gifts.
