About this property

River Haus - Charming riverfront cabin right on the Chattahoochee

Guests will truly enjoy River Haus - a rustic one bedroom, one bath cabin, while listening to the sounds of the river running from the open deck overhanging the river. A fisherman's paradise - trout fishing right in front of your own cabin - catch your limit on the beautiful clear waters of the fast flowing Chattahoochee River.

The property is close to the Chattahoochee Wildlife Management Preserve. This perfect spot for rest and relaxation is located close to nature and the headwaters of the Upper Chattahoochee River. There is something for everyone in the area- fishing, hiking, river tubing, or horseback riding at Sunburst Stables or just relaxing on the deck. It is located only 1 mile from the vibrant center of Helen, GA. It's the perfect vacation cabin for a couple.

River Haus is lovingly cared for and features a cozy stone fireplace, pine paneling throughout, and a well equipped kitchen with everything you need. It is located just minutes from the shopping and dining of the delightful alpine village of Helen, GA and a short drive to the spectacular Anna Ruby Falls, Dukes Creek Falls, Smithgall Woods Center and Unicoi State Park.

We loved the cabin and its location. Was able to check in a little early which worked out great. Cabin was very clean. Easy walk into downtown. Loved watching floaters down the river and listening to the water. Only fault was the noise of the traffic on the other side of the river. But we did love the cabin. Would highly recommend staying there.

The cabin was absolutely perfect…rustic and isolated but in a location that was right around from the main drag. The tubers came down the river for daily entertainment. Could not have been better.

Quick getaway with Mom

I wanted a place to take my 92 year old mom where we could mosey around Helen and enjoy the sights and sounds of the river. This cabin was absolutely perfect! Great location and the spot on the river was great. I can’t wait to go back with my husband sometime!

Wonderful Stay – Already Planning to Return!The property was absolutely perfect for us—peaceful, relaxing, and with the added bonus of great entertainment watching people tubing down the river. Everything inside was clean, inviting, and easy to access, making our stay truly comfortable.The only downside was the condition of the riverbank upon arrival—there were beer bottles and broken glass scattered around. It’s unclear whether that was left by previous renters or washed in from the active river, but it did take away a bit from the beautiful setting.That said, communication with the rental company was excellent—they were responsive and helpful throughout our stay. And to top it off, we even got to see a bear on our last night!We’re already planning to come back next year. Highly recommend this place!

Honeymoon in Helen

Great clean quiet place. Everything as advertised. Would been perfect in a couple of weeks later as the temperature warmed up enough to open the windows at night to really get the sound of the water; but was OK with the windows closed! Had a little problem with the coffee pot(probably our error) but managed and sugar ants in the bathroom sink! WE ENJOYED OUR STAY AT RIVER HAUS!!!

Great little cabin

Rustic cabin on the river. Was able to fish right out of the door. I will say there were some little bugs (weevles?) and ants in the kitchen. Need to be sprayed.

Brief stay

We decided to go to Helen for a few days to celebrate our anniversary just to relax and enjoy Helen in the off season, our stay at River Haus was great, it’s close to town yet on the river. Yes the main road is just on the other side of the river but the traffic was light so it didn’t bother us. Communication was great. Thank you!
