Chattahoochee Shoals – Cozy Pet Friendly River Cottage

Bring your fishing rods for excitement on the banks of the Chattahoochee River! Chattahoochee Shoals boasts over 220 feet of riverfront. In this newly renovated home, guests will enjoy two floors of indoor and outdoor living space, with spectacular river views throughout. Open any door at Chattahoochee Shoals to enjoy the relaxing sound of the Chattahoochee River rushing over the plentiful rocks and boulders. Bring your kayak or just sit by the water and let the day flow by. Enjoy the large deck overlooking the river while grilling on the gas barbecue, head to the lower deck for a relaxing soak in the hot tub, or continue down the new stairs to the outdoor firepit. Don't forget Fido or Fifi! Chattahoochee Shoals is pet-friendly.

The main level has an open floor plan (new flooring), with new cozy furniture and a smart TV. There is a subscription to YouTube TV so you have access to live local news, sports, movies, and your favorite tv shows. Dine at the round table or the bench table in the kitchen, while enjoying all the light that shines from the walls of windows. The master bedroom is located on the main floor and has a king-size bed. The adjacent bath featuring a shower/tub combination.

The kitchen has new granite countertops, full-size stainless steel appliances, and brand-new cabinets and backsplash tiles. The cabinets are filled with all the dishes, pots, pans and utensils you will need to cook up a fantastic meal at home, or at your new home-away-from-home! The coffee maker is both a standard drip with a 12-cup carafe and a one-cup Keurig. Just off the kitchen is the laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer.

Great stay on the River

The space felt smaller than the pictures but the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a holiday stay. The gravel driveway took skills and a high clearance car to manage. Everything was clean and location on the river was very relaxing

Great location/view

The house/cabin was comfortable and the view in the back is just wonderful. Our only issue was that we found out late the hot tub wasn’t full and did not get to use it all weekend. However property manager did respond and gave a small refund.

Memorable get-a-way

I wanted to get away and hide in nature and this home fit the bill perfectly! The sound of the river was so calming and the hot tub made it better. I watched the kids hopping along the rocks while enjoying my coffee. Gorgeous views!! The house also had everything we needed to make a Thanksgiving feast. The only thing that stressed me out was that driveway. My car barely made it up the hill and sustained some damage. I would return but with a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Highly recommend.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great central location to all of the surrounding wineries. The driveway is extremely steep so be aware with the vehicle youre bringing. Cabin in itself had all the basic needs and enjoyed being so close to the river. River access is lots of rocks so bring water shoes! Overall enjoyed the stay!

Beautiful Cabin and River

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We very much enjoyed our stay! The river was gorgeous and was the highlight of our trip. We caught some small bass and sunfish. It was nice to be able to bring the dogs and they enjoyed being in the gated porch with us. Driveway was a little scary and steep, but that's common in these areas and knew about it ahead of time.

Ehhh

It was secluded which was good. 4 wheel drive recommend. Cabin outdated but I didn't mind. 1 of the pumps in the hot tub didn't work but we reported that. If you want privacy and just get away, this is the place

Relaxing River House

Upon check in we had a few issues to discuss with the management company. After speaking with them, all was explained and went well. The location is nice and private, but close enough to ride into Helen each day. The kids enjoyed the river and we were just happy to unplug for a few days.

The cabin needs some updating. The management company did a great job coming over and repairing the broken shower door. Very steep driveway. A truck or an SUV is a must.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in this rental multiple times since summer of 2015. We love the view, the convenience to the river, & the space provided. Everything is fantastic. Granted, we would love another chair or perhaps love seat for family time. In all honesty, the drive needs some attention as time & weather has taken its toll. Will definitely take return!

The only issues were a few bugs in the house and the chairs outside were wet. It would be nice to have a spot outside to put them up when not in use. Other than that it was perfect! We will return.
