About this property

Relax & Unwind at Ritz on the Rocks! Dog Friendly, Hot Tub, Near Wineries!

Enjoy breathtaking long-range mountain views while sipping wine in the hot tub!
Just 10 minutes from the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia.

Whether you're visiting the North Georgia mountains for a wedding, winery tours, one of our many festivals like Oktoberfest, admiring the fall leaves, a college graduation, a family vacation, or in hopes of striking it rich while panning for gold, we're certain that our home will be a place of rest and relaxation during your stay.

Visit the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia nestled in the Appalachian mountains of North Georgia. This area was once home to the mighty Cherokee. When settled by Europeans in the 1800's it became the site of the first U.S. gold rush. Then later became the quaint little German town it is today.

Come during late September through the end of October to not only enjoy the changing leaves, but also experience the Oktoberfest celebrations!

Our home is also an excellent place of respite for the adventurer! There are countless hiking trails, excellent roads for mountain biking, exceptional trout fishing waters, and more waterfalls than you can see on one trip.

Fun for the whole family too, with a waterpark, zip line adventures, horseback riding, river tubing, mini-golf, gold & gem mining, award-winning vineyards, a local brewery, unique shops, amish bakeries, antiquing, great local & German cuisine, and much more!

Our mountain chalet was built in 2005. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living spaces, and a kitchen and dining area. There's more than 1000 sq. ft. of wrap around porches to take in the majestic mountain views. When you're ready to relax after a long day of exploring all the area has to offer, slip into the hot tub with a glass of wine or make s'mores in the camp fire out back.

There is a smart doorbell installed by the front door with audio and video recording capabilities for security purposes.

This was one of the best vrbo properties I have ever stayed at. The house itself offered private bedrooms and baths on each floor that was perfect for our girls trip. It was clearly clean and well kept. The view was just gorgeous and it was very convenient to Helen. The owner, Mitch, was so pleasant and easy to work with and the smores welcome gift was such a thoughtful touch.

Raving about Ritz on the Rocks

For our family get-together the mansion cabin was ideal, It easily accommodated all of us with even extra room to spare. The views were breathtaking from every window and all three decks. The cabin’s location was a very short drive to our new favorite spots: Helen tubing, Anna Ruby Falls, waterfalls with swimming, downtown Helen and scrumptious local restaurants. We also especially enjoyed the host-gift of S’Mores fixings. It was an amazing experience for all of us!

Daughter's 21st Birthday

We had a great stay at Ritz on the Rocks. Our family and friends celebrated our daughter's birthday. This property had beautiful views and we were all very comfortable and relaxing. The location was great allowing us to easily get to wineries as well as multiple hiking locations. Thank you for sharing this great place and helping us create lasting memories!

Mountain retreat close to Helen

Wonderful stay! We were only a quick drive from downtown Helen yet it felt like we were nestled far away. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It was made extra charming and cozy by the Christmas tree.

A beautiful and comfortable getaway!

Everything was as wonderful as it looked on the website. The well-appointed house and amazing views made "social distancing" a pleasure rather than a chore. Lots of big open spaces for gathering, lots of private spaces for solitude. The owners were friendly and available by text to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend this place!

Amazing!

Our family stayed at this property to visit the waterfalls of the area. The house was clean and very well cared for. I loved that the amazing view from the porch was a sunset view rather than a sunrise view. Mitch was incredible! The dishwasher went out during our stay and Mitch had it swapped out the same day.

Great stay

To start the owner was great and accommodating. The property was clean and had everywhere needed. The views were outstanding. We had a small problem while staying due to a very powerful storm. The owner came out the next morning and fixed the problem. The stay was so great we stayed an extra night. Did not want to leave. Thanks to the owners and I would recommend a stay. Also it’s close to everything you need from Helen to hiking to wineries etc.

The Best Mountain Views in N Ga!

We visit our family in Helen, Ga quite a bit and have stayed in VRBO's all over Sautee, Cleveland and Helen. This by far was the best experience we've had! The home is absolutely beautiful, the floorpan and layout is perfect for a large family (tho it was only 3 of us this time lol) and the kitchen came stocked with everything we needed for our 6 day stay. Upon our arrival (we were even allowed to get there a bit early thanks to Mitch) we were blown away when we walked in and took in the amazing mountain views off the back deck. The home was very clean and each bedroom was perfectly prepared. Our 13 yr old son loved having the downstairs basement to himself and the wife and I loved our 3rd floor master suite with balcony. The hot tub was wonderful when it got into the 30's at night and we had a wonderful time sitting around the huge fire pit when our family visited. We have decided that this will be the only home we book from now on when visiting and we can't wait for our next trip North! Thanks again for allowing us to enjoy your amazing property!

Ritz on the Rocks truly ROCKS!

This property is beautiful and perfectly located to enjoy the Helen area and the amazing mountain views. My husband and I brought my 81 year old disabled father and our senior Border Collie, Dash, to come see Helen and Anna Ruby Falls just for the weekend. Dad had a perfect entry level bedroom and bathroom for his needs. He uses a rollator and had no issues getting around on the main floor. I truly appreciated the shower chair in his bedroom closet as we forgot his. Very nice to remember for your guests. The large den and kitchen area is gorgeous with an amazing view of the mountains from every level of the home. This is a perfect place for couples and children with the bedrooms and bathrooms set up very well for privacy and togetherness. There is a nice fire pit with firewood available and a horseshoe pit for outdoor enjoyment. The hot tub was so relaxing after a day at the falls. We really enjoyed our stay. Even though it was short, we would absolutely come back to this property and bring some more folks to enjoy it with us. I want to say thank you to Mitch for being so quick to respond to my messages. The S'mores Station was also a fun touch You can tell they love their home and want their guests to be comfortable and have a wonderful time. 5 stars to the property, owner, location, views, privacy and amenities. 😁

About the host

Hosted by Mitch Lathem

Host profile image
I'm a happily married father, local real estate broker, nature and wildlife photographer, volunteer soccer coach, world traveler, outdoor enthusiast, adventure junkie, working for an international Christian missions organization.

I'm a native North Georgian. Born, raised, and currently living in Gainesville, just 20 minutes south of Dahlonega. My wife, Monya, and I met at Young Harris College in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and then hung around Athens for a few years to earn our degrees from the University of Georgia. It was love at first sight. It just took her a few years to realize it. We got married in the fall of 2007 at Big Canoe, yep you guessed it... in the mountains. She went on to get her master's from Brenau University and is an elementary school teacher. She thinks she's smarter than me, she's probably right. She's certainly better looking.

Our team consists of our daughter, Adri (9), and our son, Adler (6). I always tell everyone, "we've done our part and created our replacements". She's compliant and contemplative, like her mother, and he's our little strong-willed explorer, just like his old man. We have the most gentle and loving Great Dane Lab mix named Sophie, a temperamental self absorbed cat named Coal, and a spastic rescue squirrel named Lucky.

My hair is quickly turning gray. It started at 17. I like to think of it as my pre-mature crown of glory. It's probably just hereditary. And yes, I was born with a beard.
