November Discount!! River & creek, waterfall, hot tub, fire pit, dogs OK

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.

New Vaca Spot
After Hurricane Helene, our Vrbo was destroyed along with the town of Chimney Rock, NC. We scrambled to find something with the amenities we were used to (mountains, hot tub, views, river, fireplace). This place filled the bill. Beautiful property with direct access to the Chattahoochee and hiking. Close to Helen, GA for shopping, dining and waterfalls. The only negative that we found was that the beds were super firm. May want to bring your own pillow topper.

The property was immaculate, everything was as it was described on the listing. Great for my large family of 7. We didn’t bring our pupper this time but I plan on bringing her next time, so much space to explore. We will definitely be back!

Stunning views
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.

Peaceful retreat
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.

Perfect piece of Heaven
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.

Beautiful home and property
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.

Once in a lifetime
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.

Needs Updating
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.

Lovely property by the river
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.
