About this property

May Discount!! River & creek, waterfall, hot tub, fire pit, dogs OK

You'll think you've died and gone to heaven! This river house is located on a wide stretch of the Chattahoochee River near Helen, and is anything but ordinary. Relax on the back deck to the sounds of the rushing creek waterfall rapids just 50 feet below the house. The house sleeps 8 people in beds. Bring your own inner tubes so you can enjoy some river fun and tube down the river back to the house! This unique section of river & creek with waterfall is your own private water amusement park: enjoy swimming in the river, sunning and relaxing on the sandbar, rock shoals, and island in the middle of the river, tubing / kayaking / rafting directly behind the house, playing on the natural rock waterslides in the creek, and exploring the rock shoals of the river. The fishing is good in the river for shoal bass, striped bass, catfish, and bream. The kids will love climbing trees and playing on the property, and won't even want to watch Netflix or play video games. Your stress will melt away as you catnap in the hammock by the waterfall. Take a nearby hike up to the top of Yonah Mountain then come back and soak your muscles in the hot tub and listening to the waterfall cascades. The back porch deck overlooks the waterfall, so morning coffee on the deck is lovely. Flat Screen HD TV's have Smart TV Roku built-in so you can log into your Netflix account and enjoy movies and wine by the living room stacked stone fireplace. The grill master can chose between a Weber charcoal grill on the deck or the other charcoal grill down by the creek waterfall, or use the gas grill on the upper deck. The picnic table next to the river makes the perfect place for a Sunday afternoon family lunch. Your kids will never forget the family nights spent around the fire pit with Adirondack chairs telling ghost stories, catching fireflies, and roasting marshmallows. Sit on a boulder by the river, drink a cherry Coke, and you'll feel like you're back in Mayberry, USA. Nature lovers should keep an eye out for the wild deer and Canadian geese in the backyard during sunset happy hour with wine. This property is very private and secluded on 5 acres of wooded property, so you'll have no problem decompressing from the stress of city life. Enjoy nature walks through the woods on the property, or walk down the gravel country road. The interior of the house is decorated with french country furniture and antique motif. Whatever your age or interests, there is something for everyone at this extraordinary river & creek retreat. This is the ultimate river & creek vacation experience!!! This is a sister & neighboring property to "White Rapids Retreat", so if you need more bedrooms for a larger group, gathering, or reunion, then you can also rent VRBO property #199652.. the house is pet friendly, and we allow you to bring up to 3 dogs, but you must disclose the number of pets at the time of booking and pay a separate pet fee for each animal.

Incredible experience! Host was incredibly kind and accommodating. Communicated extremely well and made the process a breeze. When you book a place like this the last thing you want is to deal with a lot of hassle from the owners and I can honestly say that Rob made it so easy and pleasant. Book here now!

Yes the place was nice, there were a few items that need addressed but I provided that to the host. But overall the property was very nice and hospitable. Communication was great and will use the property again.

Everything was great. Being decorated for Christmas was a plus. It was a great place for making memories with the grandkids. My kids enjoyed going to all the different falls nearby. The rental book had all the information needed, and the message on the end of road driving was very helpful.

Enjoyed the property and the ability to walk down to the creek and the river. The hot tube was not used due to the proximity to the cabin, we didn't want to walk the distance and climb a stair case to get from the hot tub to the warmth of the cabin. a little disappointed by that but overall enjoyed the stay. We enjoyed the Holden Oversoul Kitchen & Oyster Bar for dinner both nights we stayed.

We had a great stay at Rob's home on the river. We enjoyed both the creek near the home and the Chattahoochee just a moment down the hill. Honestly, the home was nicer than we expected and Rob was very communicative during our stay. We'll be back!

Super great little getaway!

My family and I came up here to get away for a few days and look at some vineyards in the area. It was so peaceful and my dogs really enjoyed the cabin and the creek. Lots of nature around to see, and the hot tub was very relaxing after a day of exploring.

Getaway, secluded with pets

This place is most likely the perfect stay for animal enthusiasts.The place itself, the creek, the river - the pure nature is stunning!If there would be one downside - there is no restaurant really around the corner - but many in reachable distance!We will be back!
