About this property

Stunning Rushing River Views ~ North Georgia Mountains ~ Short Hop to Town!

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Chestatee River, H&J Riverhouse is your ultimate rejuvenation destination. Just twelve minutes from historic Downtown Dahlonega and within easy access to the area's many wineries, hiking trails, and waterfalls, H&J is the perfect base camp for couples retreats, celebrating major family milestones, or reconnecting with the great outdoors.

H&J offers four, full-sized bedrooms on three levels and three and one-half baths, comfortably accommodating up to eight adults. The well-equipped kitchen and over-sized farm table invites lazy dinners at home and the screened in back porch is the perfect spot for an afternoon nap or morning coffee.

The backyard offers stunning rushing river views, 575 feet of waterfront trails, lounge seating, a fire pit for cookouts and keeping warm, and horseshoe pits for the competitive spirit. Just a short hike across the footbridge, The Overlook provides quiet reading and napping options under a huge natural rock.

H&J Riverhouse is available for personal weekend and week-long rental. Contact owners directly for special weekday corporate retreat pricing.

Perfect spot for girls weekend

This property was very comfortable for my mom, sister, daughter and myself. It was just a quick getaway to the mountains for a little shopping, dining and potter painting. But, we wanted somewhere "close to nature" and this was amazing. The river rushing outside the back porch is beautiful and impressive. Our hosts were very communicative and the whole exchange was easy.

Nice place on Thanksgiving

House was nice, and the river in the back was very nice and peaceful. House in relation to Dahlonega was great, but road to and from the the immediate area of the house was a bit treacherous.

Perfect Fit!

This beautiful lakefront property was the ideal space for our 3 generation family of 8 to get away for a few days! Sleeping space on all 3 levels gave everyone their own space, and the spacious common living areas made for some great times! We found everything we needed from the well appointed kitchen to the beautiful outdoor space and firepit area. Would definitely stay here again!

Nothing short of awesome

Amazing getaway for relaxation and quality time. The river was great to listen to while sitting by the firepit and safe to swim in for adults. Janet and David were so considerate of all of our needs and very responsive and thoughtful. One of the best VRBO’s I’ve been in, wish I could have been there longer.

The perfect location for our family to attend a wedding in Dahlonega. The home was clean and well equipped for anything we needed for a comfortable stay.
