You'll think you've died and gone to heaven! This luxury cabin known as "White Rapids Retreat" is located on the Buck Shoals gorgeous wide stretch of the Chattahoochee River near Helen and is anything but ordinary. Relax and sleep to the sounds of the rushing river rapids just 50 feet from the cabin and enjoy the panoramic open views of the river while soaking in the hot tub.

This unique section of the river directly behind the cabin is your own private water amusement park: enjoy swimming, sunning and relaxing on the sandbar in the middle of the river, tubing / kayaking / rafting from behind the cabin, playing on the natural rock waterslides, and hiking along the river. The fishing is excellent behind the cabin for smallmouth bass, striped bass, catfish, and bream.

The kids will love climbing trees and playing on the 3 different swings on the property. Your stress will melt away as you catnap in the riverside hammock. The screened porch with natural slate tile floor overlooks the river and has satellite TV so Dad won't miss any of the football game. Any gourmet chef would be delighted by the beautiful kitchen, stainless steel grill on the deck, and half drum charcoal grill down by the river.

The picnic table next to the river makes the perfect place for a Sunday afternoon cookout. Your kids will never forget the family nights spent around the riverside campfire telling ghost stories, catching fireflies, and roasting marshmallows. Drink a cherry Coke on the front porch swing and you'll feel like your back in Mayberry.

Nature lovers should keep an eye out for the wild deer and Canadian geese in the backyard while sipping your morning coffee. The kids will play for hours with the box turtles. This property is very private and secluded, the opposite side of the river is part of a state park. Enjoy nature walks through the woods on the 2 trails on the property.

Play games and watch movies by a cozy stacked stone fireplace. The interior of the cabin is beautifully decorated with rustic log furniture and antique motif. Whatever your age or interests, there is something for everyone at this extraordinary river cabin retreat.

Guests consistently remark that they have never seen a more breathtaking river view property as this one!!! This is the ultimate river cabin vacation experience!!!

  • Thank you for sharing one on the loveliest places on earth with complete strangers. We have very little family time where we are all in the same country, so to spend 4 days there amidst nature, at the end of some path, in some forest, at the edge of the river, somewhere, Georgia, USA, with limited internet access, and no reason to leave, was indeed heaven! Your house was so comfortable - we loved all the adornments and finishing touches, which make it home. The river is so beautiful right there - my children had so much fun tubing down the little cascades – we had a wonderful time.

  • Wow! The one word I would use to describe this cabin and it's location. We spent 4 great nights here with plans to go back next year for a week. The cabin was even better than we could have imagined. Very nicely decorated and plenty of room, we especially loved the screened in porch we spent most of our time there, unless we were out shopping in Helen, tubing on the river, sitting around a bonfire, or napping in the hammock. I would recommend this cabin to anyone who is planning a vacation to Helen or nearby. Thanks again Rob for everything. Theresa

  • My sisters and I rented this cabin for our annual Sister Reunion. This was my year to host and I got BIG brownie points from everyone! We all fell in love with it. We spent lazy days on the River and hung out on the screened in porch or in the hot tub. It was everything the photos portrayed. We are all in agreement that we may just make this our yearly get-away! Very relaxing, peaceful and beautiful! Can't wait for next year!

  • This cabin is FANTASTIC! The river was thoroughly enjoyed. My son had a blast riding a tube down the rapids. Five of us stayed in the cabin, and we had plenty of room. The screened in porch was our favorite place to be other than the river. We will definitely be returning!

  • We had a great time at your cabin. The river is amazing, we only wish it had been warmer so we could have gotten in. The fire pit and swings were a hit with the kids, as well as the hot tub. Our cell phone worked great, wish it had WIFI.

  • Well, I have to say it was one of the best cabins I have ever seen. I had told myself not to expect everything we had seen in the pictures but it was that and more. Everyone who has ask me about my trip, I have to tell them you must see the pictures as you won't believe what I am saying. We enjoyed the fire place at night and even a couple of people got into the hot tub when it was 35 outside. In the cold weather we even saw a couple of boats on the river and the river was the greatest. Would love to go back when we can get into the river. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us.

  • Absolutely FABULOUS Cabin! What a treat it was to stay in your cabin. The leaves were at peak and the weather was great. Our children really enjoyed playing in the river and we felt very safe with them out there. We also enjoyed watching the college football games outside on the screened in porch, while listening to the roar of the river in the background. Thank you so much for sharing your cabin and look forward to coming back!

  • We stayed at the cabin for a short weekend and it was wonderful! It was easy to set up payment and was a quick drive from Atlanta. It was very secluded and the view of the river was beautiful. There's plenty of space, the amenities were all top notch and it was very relaxing. We spent all day on the river and our dogs had as much fun as we did! I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a secluded, relaxing getaway with all the comforts of home!

  • To anyone wishing to rent this property ... it is everything they say it is..you won't be disappointed. The view is wonderful and very relaxing. We spent 9 days there and loved every minute of it. Saw deer on the property often. The beds were comfortable, and plenty of room in the cabin. We would definitely go back again. Our cell phone would not work there..but others do.
