About this property

River House with Pizzazz on the Upper Chattahoochee River

This three-bedroom, the two-bath chalet is located on over five and a half acres of property with 650 feet of frontage on the Upper Chattahoochee River. Located about 9 miles from Helen in the Sautee Nacoochee Valley, this retreat is well-appointed with decks at the house, a hot tub, grill, and tubes.

Just 90 miles from Downtown Atlanta, this tranquil setting is seemingly light-years away. If you can't take a hint, there is a DSL internet connection, satellite TV, DVD, and CD players, BBQ Grill, hot tub, and tubes. The bedrooms are on three different levels, with separate living areas on each floor. The house can easily accommodate three couples or a large family. This open loft-like floor plan is not suitable for children under the age of 5.

There are good restaurants in the nearby Saute Nachoochee Valley, Helen and Clarksville. Regular and Gourmet Grocery stores are about 9 miles away and a convenience store is within minutes. We like to cook, and the kitchen will allow you to prepare your favorite meals. You can then dine in at a comfortable table that will seat 6, or on an outside deck amidst the trees.

There is a treehouse-like feeling from the surrounding woods, and the river is accessible by an easily travelled path. Formerly owned by local folk artists, the house offers an eclectic mix of folk art and artifacts you will enjoy perusing and contemplating.

You'll love this spot on the river and the house! Come see what others rave about!

Amazing Cabin Getaway!

This cabin was absolutely amazing! It was spacious, clean, and had incredible river access. Each room is on its own floor with a private living space, which made it perfect for our group. The property manager was fantastic—super helpful and responsive to all our needs. We’re already planning to come back in the summertime! Highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.

Anniversary/Oktoberfest Getaway

Nice property in good location. Needs a little TLC to outside deck area. Short walk to the river. Hot tub was amazing. Could not get the TV by kitchen table to work or the one in main bedroom. Overall very nice stay.

Great for families!

Very cool house with three floors - each one had a bedroom and living area. The kids loved playing in the woods and river and we enjoyed the hot tub and available board games. The host was fantastic and our kids are already asking to go back!

A few things wrong

The layout of the house is unforgettable. Very Quirky but in a good way. Everything i mean everything was furnished. The Decks need to be updated. The wood was soft and bendable.

Nice cabin in the woods

Fully equipped Cabin lots of interactive games we even did a puzzle as a family. The river is a nice place to disconnect and listen to the sounds of nature we even had an encounter with deers in the front yard. Helen is a short 20 minute ride ( a most see super nice town).

Beautiful location with easy hike to river front .

We truly enjoyed our visit and the house was a gem. Lots of room with all 3 levels and the hot tub was amazing. Very quiet and peaceful but minutes from town if needed. The kitchen has all the toys any cook desired so it made our Thanksgiving Dinner super !House is most eclectic and homey ! We will return !

Fall Fun

We visited for fall fun. The property is beautiful. We enjoyed a cold plunge in the river, drying off by the fire pit w/S’mores and soaking in the hot tub . Close distance (20min)to local natural beauty and hiking. Easy drive to Helen and other local hot spots- Sweetwater Coffee and Clarksville shops.

Great hideaway near Helen Ga. Nice stroll down to remote section of the river. VERY eclectic decor - we found new pieces of art all weekend! Nicely equipped kitchen with lots of spices and condiments already there. Multiple gathering areas for conversations.

Cozy retreat

The house has everything, Close to Helen and Anna Ruby Falls. Easy access. Clean comfortable rooms. Each Room has its own living area outside. Almost like three separate houses. close to river and has a great riverside that you can just relax by the water.

Incredible home & property

Let’s 1st start by saying amazing, simply amazing This cabin is 3 story, each floor has its own living room / tv room, this place is huge. Don’t worry about scheduling a hike at the falls, There’s some amazing wood that walks along the waters edge that seems to go forever. We saw a deer in the blueberry orchard. We give it a 10 out of 10.

Amazing place

We stayed the week of July 4th. Everything is just as the pictures show. Very quiet and peaceful. There were 5 people and we had plenty of room. Even with so much to do in the local area we all couldn't wait to get back to the house each day. I'm a runner, and the area was perfect. We didn't want to leave and are already planning for another trip up there and will be looking to get this same property again. Thank you for a beautiful and fun home.

Great quick getaway

Had a wonderful stay at this cute, eccentric, mountain home. Loved that everywhere you looked you saw something new each time. We got to see a very strange looking deer which was a sight. Believe the reviews that this house is not meant for kids, disabled, fat, or elderly. The walk to the river/ fire pit was 3 minute walk and pretty steep. That was a surprise. Had a great time and got plenty of exercise going up all the stairs and that steep mountain back up to the house. Everywhere was comfortable and inviting. Would recommend

My ZEN Getaway

As a repeat renter, I can say this is one of my favorite places in Georgia! It's such a unique property and space - you will amazed that it's a 'rental' property. The home itself has a unique layout - with the 3 bedrooms & living spaces on three separate floors, allowing for some 'spreading' out room. The artwork and décor give this rental more personality than any other rental I've ever stayed in. You will continue to find interesting pieces throughout your stay here. We've rented this property as a romantic getaway, as our family vacation spot, and for a girls getaway. While the property is secluded, providing privacy, its very close to Helen and a number of North Georgia attractions as well. Perfect spot in North Georgia!

Fun house, great time!

The house was clean, the beds were very comfortable and the owner was so nice, and responded very quickly. The property is beautiful and the hot tub was fantastic! The kitchen had everything we needed, even condiments. Only note I would have to families with small children: there are lots of stairs, some without railings and the upstairs balcony railing is open. So it may not be a fit for small children. But families with older children and adults, itnis great! They even have tons of board games to choose from! They really have thought of everything. Thank you for such a fun, relaxing weekend Meredith. We plan to come back for sure!

Not for those with Scent sensitivities

The house was mostly as advertised, with a lot of extra personal art and hippie decorating flair. There was ample space, the kitchen was properly stocked with the essentials, and there were lots of separate hang out options. The place however had a very strong smell, similar to those scented holiday pinecones, somewhat akin to a musky cinnamon smell. If you have a chemical sensitivity, this place is not for you. Also, the house is not directly on the water as I had presumed, but a short walk away. We otherwise enjoyed our stay!

Hidden Gem- Cozy, Secluded and close to Helen

We loved our stay here in October. It was me and a few girlfriends for a fun birthday weekend. We loved this cabin! It was so cute and fun, and there was definitely enough space for everyone! I want to book here in the summer with a few other friends to celebrate their engagement! What I love most is that it is on the water too, so we don't even have to travel into Helen is we don't want to! Although, I must be honest, it's a pretty dark and steep walk down the path to the water and fire pit! So you can imagine a few girls walking down there alone, at night, in the dark and we basically scared the jibbies out of each other lol. But with a fire, that spot would be so cozy! Truly- I hidden gem just outside of Helen. Working with the owner was super easy and she was very communicative which is a huge plus.
