About this property

Down By The River - Remote Riverfront Cabin

Down by the River is your ideal family vacation spot, situated a few miles south of Alpine Helen, GA. This beautiful home is on the Chattahoochee River making it ideal for fishing, swimming, or canoeing!

This beautiful rustic cabin has vaulted ceilings and during cool fall & winter evenings, guests can gather around the gas-burning log fireplace. Gather with the family, pop some popcorn, and play board games, or enjoy sipping on a bottle of wine from local area wineries as you snuggle by the fire.

Down by the River has so many wonderful features! Guests can relax in the outdoor hot tub overlooking the river, or enjoy cooking out on the propane grill provided. Not guaranteed but you may be grilling some fresh-caught fish! What about all of the most popular games at your disposal? A game of billiard, air hockey, or ping pong for your enjoyment.

It was a great house. Lots of room. Fun basement with games. The gas fireplace was nice on the freezing evenings. Was very sad the stairs were broken to the river. The driveway is quite intense.

This is our second time staying at this cabin and we plan to return again in the near future. This cabin has all the space and amenities you would need. We loved drinking coffee while sitting by the river and making s’mores by the fire.

We only stayed the weekend but would definitely stay here again. We didn’t even realize we had neighbors until the next day and still never seen or heard anyone. The house was nice and clean, check in was a breeze, and, well, just the peace and quiet we needed.
