About this property

River House with Pizzazz on the Upper Chattahoochee River

This three-bedroom, the two-bath chalet is located on over five and a half acres of property with 650 feet of frontage on the Upper Chattahoochee River. Located about 9 miles from Helen in the Sautee Nacoochee Valley, this retreat is well-appointed with decks at the house, a hot tub, grill, and tubes.

Just 90 miles from Downtown Atlanta, this tranquil setting is seemingly light-years away. If you can't take a hint, there is a DSL internet connection, satellite TV, DVD, and CD players, BBQ Grill, hot tub, and tubes. The bedrooms are on three different levels, with separate living areas on each floor. The house can easily accommodate three couples or a large family. This open loft-like floor plan is not suitable for children under the age of 5.

There are good restaurants in the nearby Saute Nachoochee Valley, Helen and Clarksville. Regular and Gourmet Grocery stores are about 9 miles away and a convenience store is within minutes. We like to cook, and the kitchen will allow you to prepare your favorite meals. You can then dine in at a comfortable table that will seat 6, or on an outside deck amidst the trees.

There is a treehouse-like feeling from the surrounding woods, and the river is accessible by an easily travelled path. Formerly owned by local folk artists, the house offers an eclectic mix of folk art and artifacts you will enjoy perusing and contemplating.

You'll love this spot on the river and the house! Come see what others rave about!

Amazing Cabin Getaway!

This cabin was absolutely amazing! It was spacious, clean, and had incredible river access. Each room is on its own floor with a private living space, which made it perfect for our group. The property manager was fantastic—super helpful and responsive to all our needs. We’re already planning to come back in the summertime! Highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.

A few things wrong

The layout of the house is unforgettable. Very Quirky but in a good way. Everything i mean everything was furnished. The Decks need to be updated. The wood was soft and bendable.

Anniversary/Oktoberfest Getaway

Nice property in good location. Needs a little TLC to outside deck area. Short walk to the river. Hot tub was amazing. Could not get the TV by kitchen table to work or the one in main bedroom. Overall very nice stay.

Nice cabin in the woods

Fully equipped Cabin lots of interactive games we even did a puzzle as a family. The river is a nice place to disconnect and listen to the sounds of nature we even had an encounter with deers in the front yard. Helen is a short 20 minute ride ( a most see super nice town).

Great quick getaway

Had a wonderful stay at this cute, eccentric, mountain home. Loved that everywhere you looked you saw something new each time. We got to see a very strange looking deer which was a sight. Believe the reviews that this house is not meant for kids, disabled, fat, or elderly. The walk to the river/ fire pit was 3 minute walk and pretty steep. That was a surprise. Had a great time and got plenty of exercise going up all the stairs and that steep mountain back up to the house. Everywhere was comfortable and inviting. Would recommend

Incredible home & property

Let’s 1st start by saying amazing, simply amazing This cabin is 3 story, each floor has its own living room / tv room, this place is huge. Don’t worry about scheduling a hike at the falls, There’s some amazing wood that walks along the waters edge that seems to go forever. We saw a deer in the blueberry orchard. We give it a 10 out of 10.

Great for families!

Very cool house with three floors - each one had a bedroom and living area. The kids loved playing in the woods and river and we enjoyed the hot tub and available board games. The host was fantastic and our kids are already asking to go back!

Weekend Trip

Came to Helen for a weekend getaway & it turned out not so comfortable. The house has a lot of art work & decorations, some of which are a little disturbing and caused one member of our group to sleep in the living room. It may be your scene but it felt weird to us. Wouldn't bring any children or anyone that may be frightened by paintings or books pertaining to black cats/devils/ghosts/etc. If you book & stay here, you'd maybe see why. Overall, it was a great location to Helen, a large space that can fit many people but somewhat disturbing to us. Hope this helps someone in their booking, this is all personal preference!

Tree house on the Chattahoochee

Our family had a great time while staying at this cabin that feels as if it's a tree house. Nice split floor plans that provided plenty of space for the whole family. Access to the Chattahoochee river with outdoor firepit and sitting area. The owners were very friendly. Overall we enjoyed are week in the cabin.

Quietest Place Ever

This is the most beautiful home! They have such beautiful items that you’re just amazed walking through looking at everything!!! We sat on the deck 95% of our stay just relaxing and talking. It’s so quiet you hear all the sounds of nature and your body just relaxes. For 2 very tired healthcare workers, the trip was the best! I will definitely book again!!!
