About this property

4 BR updated house on Chattahoochee River! Fish, Swim, Tube, and Kayak all day!

Wedding week-end get away! Great Getaway in the North Georgia Mountains to relax and enjoy the best section of the Chattahoochee River. Helen, Cornelia, Cleveland and Clarkesville are 4 towns very close by with wineries, restaurants, shopping, fly fishing, hiking and more. The best time is spent at the house playing in the river or enjoying the sounds of the river from the large screened porch. Very easy access to the water. Views of the River are best in the wintertime when the leaves have fallen and the trees are bare. Fire Place, Fire Pit and firewood at the house. Spend your days on the large screened-in porch and lower deck overlooking the Chattahoochee River in Demorest, Georgia watching the tubers, canoes, kayaks go by. Get adventurous! Use the shuttle service provided by the local outfitters and go kayaking with the sit-on-tops kayaks they provide for rent. Go fishing in the river or hike along the river. Or just sit on the large screened porch, swings by the river, lower porch, and listen to the beautiful sounds of the river rapids while reading, playing family games, or watching television.

We have recently installed video cameras outside the house monitoring our property.
One points at the base of driveway so we can see who comes on our property. Also, have one mounted off the back porch to monitor stairs up and down from the river. And on the fire pit.

Demorest is located between Cleveland, Clarkesville, Cornelia, and Helen. Our house is right on the Chattahoochee River. Great place to relax, play in the river and enjoy the sounds and views of the great outdoors.

Our multigenerational family really enjoyed staying at this house with a beautiful view of the river. The porch was the highlight with heaters taking the chill off the morning, and the table there being perfect for meals and games together. The swings and chairs set up by the river were perfect for the readers in the group, and the yard gave the grandkids and dog plenty of room to chase each other.

Great overall family stay. Gorgeous view and the screened porch was perfect for enjoying the river view and sounds without bugs or weather getting in the way. The living room and kitchen are beautiful, and the kitchen is well equipped. We also loved the riverfront seating and the direct access to the water. Our dog loved to play fetch in the yard. The home feels private and secluded, yet it’s not too far from the main road. Access is via a gravel road so plan accordingly. The main floor bedroom and full bath were especially convenient for our elderly parents, making their stay very comfortable. Note the steep stairs to the upstairs and basement could be tricky for elderly guests or little kids. Only downside is the basement - tiny shower, one bedroom without a window, and it tended to be cold at night while the upper floors were warm. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Out in the middle of nowhere- heaven. No problems with internet or streaming services, but who would want those when you are surrounded by nature. Right on the river. Great for tubing, kayaking, or just sitting enjoying the sounds of the river. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Thanksgiving weekend on the Chattahoochee river

Our adult children and their plus ones enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at this river cabin. It was very well stocked and we were able to easily cook a huge traditional Thanksgiving meal. We loved the fireplace, fire pit and screened porch. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us.

A Perfect Family Retreat by the Chattahoochee River

Recently, my family and I spent a weekend at a charming riverside getaway, and it exceeded all our expectations. The accommodations were equally impressive. The space was designed with families in mind, boasting comfortable furnishings and ample room for everyone to unwind. Whether we were playing board games in the living area or preparing meals together in the well-equipped kitchen, it felt like the perfect home away from home. The cozy decor added a warm touch that made our stay even more enjoyable.

Happy 60th

The house and location are great. Plenty of room to spread out and not be cramped. The property is hilly so make sure you are able to walk up and down hill if you want to go down to the river. There are steps. The screened porch is great if you are good to sit and watch the river. Great views! We will definitely come back!

A very active family that spends most of our time outdoors. We used the property about 30 weekends a year with all of the family. Once the kids got older and playing sports every weekend, we started renting the house about 2005. We now spend a lot of time in Florida also. With the new remodel, we plan to use the house more and more.

Water and peace & quiet. Great change from Johns Creek, GA. Gives a great water experience without motors on a lake....recent remodel with unbelievable features for mountain riverhouse

What makes this property unique

Great place to spend quality time with the family...amazing space for a small sq ft house...great outdoor living space
