Beautiful property and view of the river. Great outdoor area to enjoy with fire pit. The cabin was nice and spacious. We really enjoyed our stay! The host was very nice and accessible for any questions we had. Will definitely be back!
Thank you for having us at your amazing property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the amazing sound of the river so much! If anyone wants to just go and unwind this is your spot!! Owners literally thought of everything with the Fully equipped kitchen and everything you need to feel right at home. Not to mention we can bring our furry friends too and they enjoyed it as much as we did! Thanks again for having us! We will return!!

It was beautiful. We had excellent weather the entire trip. The river was just gorgeous, and the dogs loved it. Met the neighbors up the hill and enjoyed a cookout and fire in the fire pit. Very relaxing. I really enjoyed the property.
This place was absolutely amazing. The host was on point answering every questions I had (Even the dumb ones) The only problem we had was finding the place I do not recommend trying to find the place at night and I recommend a 4x4 if you got it. As far as the home goes and the amenities we were absolutely blown away. Waking up to the sound of the river rushing by. The hot tub, care free playing boards games with the kiddos, roasting marshmallows at the bonfire, exploring in the woods wih the family. The list goes on n on. I juat can not say enough good about the place!!!!!!
This property is a true gem. The property (its location right on a river bend) is absolutely stunning. It was the perfect place to spend Labor Day weekend. We loved using the fire pit for s'mores, the hot tub, and the tubes and kayaks on the water. We didn't cook or grill this time, but we will next time! Plenty of spaces to gather and hang out with friends and family.
We loved this property from the time we saw it 4 years ago while staying at the sister property. The view of the river is just awe inspiring-it mesmerizes you for hours. Our crew had a blast rock hoping form island to island. We will be back FUR sure! Rob is a great host.

About the host
Hosted by Rob Limehouse
Our family used to live in South Florida. I am a Physical Therapist, Marisol is a Pharmacist. We wanted to have a vacation property to escape to with the kids and build family memories through the years. I wanted a place in the Florida Keys. Marisol did NOT. I am glad I listened to my wife. We have spent the past 20 years vacationing to this property with our family and friends and have created so many wonderful family memories right there on the river. We gradually fell in love with the North Georgia mountains and relocated to this area with our family. There is a plaque on a rock down by the river that says 'A little peace of heaven'. And that is exactly what this property is. I am never happier than I am at this property spending time with family and friends. Now that I live only 45 minutes away from White Rapids Retreat, I am able to come over once per week and perform regular maintenance, repairs, and make improvements to the property, so year by year we gradually add amenities and make upgrades for everyone's enjoyment.
Why they chose this property
This property is located 1.5 hours drive from Atlanta, so you can either drive there or fly into Atlanta and rent a car for a short drive. We looked at alot of properties in North Carolina, South Carolina, and North Georgia. Our family loves the river, so we were only looking at river properties. There were alot of options, but we wanted a river with rushing rapids to play in and the sound of the water to lull you to sleep in a hammock. Most properties are either slow moving water, or the house is too far away from the river. The moment we saw this property, I told the realtor 'This is it'. We actually ended up in a bidding war with another buyer over this property. We won!!! It has been worth every penny. We would like to share this property with you and your family to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
There are so many things to do at the cabin, in the river, and in the North Georgia area, that I can't pick just one. Mostly, we just love spending time with family and friends experiencing what 'a little piece of heaven' is like.
