About this house rental
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.

We got to the home and walked in and we wanted explore. We explored the house to see where everyone was going to sleep and there was plenty of space for all. We took a little hike to the creek behind the house and the kids took no time jumping in and exploring the creek and all it had to offer. The rock wall by the creek that the family made was so neat. My son loved the hammock. When they got finished exploring we went back to the house and the kids played monopoly, by the way was in the house. We were able to use what we needed in the kitchen to make breakfast and dinner. I highly recommend this home to anyone who would love an adventure. I would love to visit during Christmas, what a sight that would be. The owner went out of his way for me when I forgot something in the home and that makes me want to visit again.

6 adults 1 9 yoa. Two adults slept on bunk beds child with us, other adults in the other room. Overall clean, comfortable but not perfect..not that picky. Short walk to the one fire pit which is by a small stream, about 150 yards in the opposite direction is the Chattahoochee river which was nice for swimming and chilling, be careful of crossing over the rocks. In both treks, it's walking down and the opposite coming back. Yes, I would come back again.

This cabin was prefect for a quiet getaway with my husband. The property is absolutely stunning with both creek and river views. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We will be back!

This property was absolutely perfect for us! The creek was secluded and perfect for our dog to enjoy. The river was gorgeous and fun to play in. The house had everything we needed and we ate almost every meal there. The bed was very comfortable. I absolutely loved the big glass windows looking out to the porch. We spent alot of time on the porch listening to the rushing creek and birds singing. We even had a small fire above the waterfalls by the adirondack chairs. This place is a little piece of Heaven. I was sad to leave. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend staying here. The hosts were above and beyond and very responsive.

Exactly what we were looking for. Very quiet and calming atmosphere. There's a creek right on the property where you can just wind down with a good read. Large grocery store nearby if you dont plan to eat out alot.

The home was beautiful and the waterfall below the house was so beautiful (much better than the pics.). The house was very clean and looked beautiful. There were windows in the basement that were open which was concerning but we closed them. The only way into the house was a very steep set of stairs. Everything in the house worked perfectly and we were happy. The driveway to the house as well as leaving the house was VERY steep and I was spinning tires most of the way up the hill. This would be very concering in rainy weather. The walk to the Chattahoochee river is very short and the river is beautiful. It is a part of the river that actually has rapids. I would recommend the house highly as long as everyone can climb steep stairs. There is NO way into the main home without climbing stairs and there is only one bedroom on the main floor. Now the only issue we had was finding the place. The directions said turn the GPS off and we did but we still had to call the owner to find the house. Nothing was really clear and I would have never found it without his help. It is remote and most of the drive is down a dirt road.

We had to go to Atlanta and had just a couple extra nights by ourselves. We splurged with this home. I can't explain the serene and secluded access to the creek. I sat on a creek rock and the hammock enjoying the sunshine. No other people could sit on my rock. I had private rushing water that one yearns for during hiking. My husband enjoyed the creek, but he has medical condition and could not make the short walk to the river spot with the chairs and picnic table. We were in awe of how beautiful the spot was with all the amenities. The host is truly blessed with this house and I am grateful it was shared.

This area is beautiful, and we loved the view and creek. The house though, needs updating. I think they are soing so presently as there was a lot of construction material lying around outside.
Also, cleaning crew needs to pay more attention...we found three random dirty sock while we were there (under the beds and outside) and the glasses and pots were dirty in the cabinets.

We stayed in this house two nights and it had everything and more. The home was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the short trail to the water behind the home. The home was close to Helen and we enjoyed our stay.

Family vacation for four nights was very nice on this property
4.8
The property was so serene and much needed after driving back from Texas to SC. We loved it so much we’re returning this summer to really adventure. Helen was so adorable and a short drive. The closest shopping town was very Up kept where we went to eat. The international kitchen was fabulous!!! Nice wide safe roads. The house was very clean and offered great supplies as well.

Loved our stay. The cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed at. Thick towels, lots of extras (soaps, detergents, etc..) Enjoyable and relaxing stay. All our needs were met. My only complaint is the stairs into the house are scary. The are steep and very slippery when wet. Throw in the leaves and it was worse. We are all able body and active adults too. Anyone with any disability could not make it up the stairs safely.

This was a very clean, lovely cabin way out in the woods. We were there for a wedding in Cleveland and it was a great place to stay. It was a bit more off the beaten path than we realized but once we found it, we enjoyed it thoroughly. Make sure you follow the instructions from the owner once you get off the main highway as the GPS doesn't give directions all the way to the cabin. We were there in Oct and the trees and fall colors were beautiful! This would be amazing in the summer months as well. Tubing on the river, a cookout, and just enjoying the deck and getting away from it all would make for a wonderful summer family getaway!

It was as advertised. Comfortable and peaceful.

My sister and I spent a few days in this lovely spot with our elderly mother. The scenery is beautiful and I can't say enough about the fun my sis and I had hiking the creek and falls. The rock walls are incredible and it is so peaceful. Listening to the water sitting on the deck in the evening was very relaxing after a fun trip to Helen during the day. We visited Dahlonega for gold panning and several wineries and meaderies, all within a reasonable drive so the location is actually quite convenient. The house is well equipped, clean and the rules and check out requirements very reasonable. I would re-book this property again, perhaps in the summer so we can enjoy the river and tubing. Thank you for a great trip!

We had a great stay in this beautiful home. Quiet, secluded, comfortable and very enjoyable. Highly recommended. And we will stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house, decks, and hot tub were a great place to spend a relaxing week. We also ventured out to waterfalls, the Blue Ridge Railway, and the town of Helen. The house required going up stairs and it’s not an easy trek down to the river if you have any physical disabilities, just so you are aware. It was a wonderful vacation!

Great property with shallow water access (creek on one side of house and river access on the end of the property). Overall the house is accommodating as stated in the description but is in need of maintenance and the gravel road to get to the property needs to maintained (full of pot holes). All that being said we would be happy to be back and plan too in the near future.

It’s a nice place.

I told my girls, I rented this place for the outside, not the inside. Although the house is also nice and clean, the best part about it is the location, and that we could bring our dogs with us. We had fun exploring the creek behind it and making our way down the creek to the river. You feel like you have your own private oasis in the backyard complete with small waterfalls, lightening bugs at night, the coolest rock wall, and a hot tub under the trees (and lights). Follow the rock wall path along the creek down to the Chatahoochee River and you will find a picnic table and also a place with chairs by the water to fish. Look for the sign by the water telling you to cross over the river on the shallow rocks and that was our favorite part of all. Hopping over rocks to find the best place to stop and take a swim in the ice cold water, take in the beautiful view, read a book, and enjoy the feeling of total peace and relaxation listening to the sound of the river with the sun shining on your face. My kids swam and played in the river with the inner tubes supplied by the owner and had a blast. We also went to Wildwood Outfitters not far away and went kayaking down the river, which was also so much fun. The beach has always been my happy place but this is a close second, maaaaybe a tie for first? It was our first time in Georgia and a great week of exploring just a little piece of it. I could’ve easily stayed another week, but I’m sure my coworkers wouldn’t be happy with me.

We loved our stay and plan on vacationing there again next year. The place is perfect with both creek and river access you never have to leave the cabin.
4.8
My family and I really enjoyed our stay! The house was in good order and the atmosphere of the property, with the falls, and silhouettes of trees, made it all feel kind of magical! Next time we will have to stay longer because there is so much to see and so little time!
4.8
Beautiful property with private creek waterfalls and river view. Lots of stairs to access the cabin and upstairs BR. Nice cabin with great living / dining area. Beautiful fireplace and large windows. (No screens ... could not listen to the creek falls from inside and rain prevented use of the uncovered deck). Very private and quiet. Driveway can be an initial challenge, but it's manageable.

Awesome area! Super quiet! Loved the scenery! Will definitely be recommending to anyone who wants to get away, but still close to amenities! Property manager was super nice and helpful.
Thank you!
Melissa and the girls!

We enjoyed the stream and the trails...

Very convenient to local towns in the area with many things to do; shop, eat and water activities. House is easy to find. Nice walk to the river near by or down to the nice sitting / hang out area by the creek that’s nearest to the house. With recent rains the waterfall was moving great. Quick communication through out the process. You’re going to the mountains. Expect driving and walking among hills; not always flat ground. Would be a place we’d venture to again.

What a wonderful place to spend spring break with the kids and pups. The house was fully stocked, and there was plenty of space to spread out to play games, read a book, or watch TV. We used the hot tub multiple times a day and made a little fire in the pit down by the creak for s’mores. We ventured out each day for a hike or to visit nearby Helen, but we always returned to cook dinner and enjoy the place. The steep driveway was a little frightening for this Florida girl, but the van didn’t seem to have an issue with it. We’ll be back!

This was like a magical hidden wonderland! We didn’t want to leave! The only thing that was a slight concern was the steepness of the driveway but once I figured out to put my car in 1st gear we were good. :)

IT WAS A GREAT PLACE, HARD TO BEAT THE LOCATION, BEAUTIFUL AND RELAXING WITH THE SOUND OF RUSHING WATER IN THE STREAM RIGHT BELOW THE HOUSE AND THE VIEW OF THE CHATTAHOOCHEE, THEY HAD A GREAT GUEST BOOK WITH RECOMMENDATIONS OF THINGS TO DO AND PLACES TO VISIT IN THE AREA, WILL DEFINITELY CONSIDER GOING BACK
