About this property

At River's Edge On The Hooch in Downtown Helen

Features: 3 levels of porches, 2 hot tubs, 2 living rooms w/ gas burning fireplaces, additional kitchenette, & more. At River's Edge on the Hooch is a lovely, cozy 3-story condo located close to the center of the delightful town of Alpine Helen. The condo is tastefully decorated and situated within a short walking distance from Helen Water Park. In addition to the water park, guests can enjoy the fun and excitement of tubing the Chattahoochee River in the summer months.

This condo is great for families or couples who want to be in town but off the main strip. The Chattahoochee River is only a short walk away and the condo has spectacular river views. 

After a busy day in Helen, shopping or trying one of the many delicious restaurants, guests can relax in the hot tub on the deck. The condo has a propane grill so you can grill your mountain trout or steaks to perfection and enjoy a bottle of local wine from one of the area's many wineries.

For outdoor enthusiasts, hiking trails are close by at Smithgall Woods, Dukes Creek, Raven Cliffs, Unicoi State Park, and many others. Sunburst Stables provides horseback riding and zip lines, while Unicoi State Park Lake is ideal for swimming & fishing in the summer months.

Helen stays busy all year round. Oktoberfest is a great time to visit & sample authentic German dishes while listening to music from the "old country." Visit Helen at Christmas and shop or take a horse-drawn carriage ride amongst the twinkling Christmas lights of Helen's winter wonderland.

The activities here are unlimited. Whether it’s a family getaway to explore Helen and Northeast Georgia or a time to chill and unwind, At River’s Edge is your getaway destination to handle any occasion.

Great place only 1 little issue where it appeared the maid skipped cleaning the bathroom. I provided photos and they did offer to send someone out to clean but I had already cleaned it myself. Things happen sometimes and I completely understand that. Overall, We had a great trip!

Great location, clean, and the hot tub was a wonderful way to end our evening. Only negative thing was the pillows were quite hard and thick instead of your head sinking in them. The large leather couch needs repaired from a seam that has come undone, but was a wonderful area to watch movies. I would definitely rent this property again.

It was very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well furnished. Linens were clean and plentiful. All areas were very clean except upstairs master bath shower needs caulk cleaned and redone around floor edges. Plenty of supplies and nice toiletries. Views were very nice. Hot tubs appeared clean and working well but we did not use. Easy to park but slightly steep incline to access. East drive to downtown Helen and area falls.

This place was so relaxing

My friends and I wanted a nice place to relax while exploring what was offered in Helen. This place was great! It was so close to downtown, and it was so quiet when staying here. It was relaxing to go outside to hear the water, and we really enjoyed all the cookware to make dinners! I would definitely recommend!!
