Stay in Downtown Helen

We had a wonderful November stay at this beautiful home in downtown Helen! The location was perfect—right on the river and within walking distance to everything in town. The house was well-crafted, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable with nice linens, and the views were amazing. We especially loved the hot tub and fire pit, which made our evenings so relaxing. We’d definitely stay here again!

Very nice home in great location!

Luxury home right on the river and a close walk to Main St in Helen. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms for privacy, but large enough living room, dining room, kitchen and plenty of outdoor space to hang out with the entire group. Hot tub, fire pit, corn hole, and nice balcony with plenty of seating.

Second time

This is the second time we have stayed in this house in Helen and we hope it won’t be the last. The location can’t be beat and having such a large backyard on the river made for some great afternoons of relaxing and playing in the river for us and the kids. We enjoyed having a fire at night and also the large living space for all of us to gather.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Maynard

Host profile image
We live in Statham, GA and own a learning center, Kidz Academy, located in Winder, GA. We take a very hands-on approach to managing our business, therefore we work very long days. When we are fortunate enough to take time off for pleasure we enjoy visiting our lodge, the Chattahoochee Lodge. We also enjoy camping. So when our lodge is rented we are camping and exploring the area in our Jeep Wrangler with the top down. We have two boys and they also have Jeep Wranglers and enjoy camping with us. We have been visiting Helen and enjoying Oktoberfest since 1977. Our entire family would all meet in Helen for Oktoberfest...great times were had and great memories were made! Everyone should experience Oktoberfest in Helen!

Tina & Billy Maynard the lodge in 2018.

Why they chose this property

The Chattahoochee Lodge construction was completed in May 2010. It is located across the river from Helen's Festhalle and only 2 blocks from downtown Helen. The lodge has an open concept with a kitchen, dining, & family. The kitchen features new stainless steel appliances & 2 bars that seat up to 10 people. You can dine while viewing the Chattahoochee River. The family room features a 30 foot wall of glass overlooking the river and a 26 foot rock fireplace. The walls are covered in Ship-lap siding and the ceiling is tongue & groove pine with beautifully stained trusses. Each of the 4 bedrooms has queen beds, a bathroom, a fireplace and a Smart TV. The loft bedroom has a queen size Murphy bed. The loft has a pool table and ping pong table. The outdoor living space has a flag stone patio with a fire pit and a huge deck that overlooks the river. The lodge is perfect for a family retreat, summer vacation, Oktoberfest celebration, reunions, weddings, or just a weekend getaway!

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of the Chattahoochee Lodge is the location. The cabin is located across the Chattahoochee River from the Festhalle & within a short walk (2 blocks) to downtown Helen. You have incredible rivers views the family room, the hot tub, the huge deck and the outdoor patio and fire pit. The river bank offers a unique beach that allows easy access to the river to wade or swim. The cabin is located in an area of the river that offers the best trout fishing in White County. Everyone that stays at our lodge LOVES that you can walk to downtown Helen...within a couple of minutes you can enjoy all of the activities in downtown Helen including Oktoberfest, shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, candy shops and much more!
