September 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.

Wonderful property

Great location! We had a great stay and enjoyed the area. The hot tub was awesome- as the weather was cold when we were there.The walk down to the river is a little tough in the fall with all the leaves down- it is a steep walk and can be slippery.The pictures of the house are exactly what it is. We loved the kitchen and all the counter space. Only downside of the house is the seating in living room- we had 5 adults and there is not enough seats for all.The beds were very comfortable and the owners thought of everything. There were only 2 wine glasses when we arrived, but we went to some wineries in the area, and left a few glasses from our tastings, so hopefully there are enough for adults staying.We would definitely rent this property again if we return.

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.

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.

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.

Nice property; not "on the river"

This is a lovely property with a very nice creekside house. The stonework along the creek is really impressive. We enjoyed our stay here. Potential renters need to know a couple of things that are not clear in the property description. First, the house is not "on the river," it has river access and a river view. The river is accessible by walking along the creek to the river, but the still-water swimming hole in photo #30 is directly in front of another house. It is only accessible by walking across the river on underwater rocks, climbing up the steep bank of an island, walking down the island, and entering the swimming hole from the island. This is not easy to do! Sturdy water shoes are necessary. Small children and older folks will not be able to do it without assistance. Second, the driveway is extremely steep. This was ok until it rained. After the rain, we tried to drive up the driveway and could not get our front-wheel-drive SUV up the wet cement. We had to wait until the cement was dry before we could drive out of the property.

Property As Described

Dahlonega has been our Georgia home away from home for over thirty years, but the details of this listing convinced me to consider going away from our comfort zone for our family weekend gathering. Knowing that there were so many activities available at the listing we packed all of our meals except for dinner which we picked up at AJ's Pizza Pub on the way to the property. After arriving on Friday evening we only left the property twice, once to go to the put in so we could tube back to the property (I would guess about an hour float) and again to give the adults a break by taking the kids to Babyland General Hospital. As another reviewer has mentioned (and the host can do nothing about it), IF you want to have water access in the mountains you are going to be required to climb at most properties and this one will give you a workout. In addition, our family all drive SUVs so the steep driveway was not a problem, but I might be a little nervous if I were driving a car, especially in the fall or winter when leaves or water might be on the paved driveway. Final note which is for informational purposes, the photos do not clearly show that access to the front door is a set of about fifteen steps which might be a major issue for other Baby Boomers or individuals with mobility issues. All in all, we enjoyed our stay at this river house!

Magical

I searched a family & pet-friendly waterfall property and this fit the bill! Absolutely magical. A creek with a waterfall area and fire pit and a short walk to the big river. We went to Helen and over to Blue Ridge to pick apples but spent tons of time at the cabin. The hot tub was nice with lights at night and there was also huge deck for hanging outside, overlooking the beautiful creek and little waterfall. We used floats and spent the majority of our time right there at the river access. We probably spent 3 hours a day there. I recommend this place 100%. Cons worth mentioning-This is my third stay at a pet friendly property and I’ve found that they’re all not quite as clean as those who don’t allow pets. It’s just my observation. It wasn’t filthy by any means just not as clean. A kennel to use would be nice so guests don’t need to pack their own. I found that there were tons of rules too (seemed like more than normal) it was sending my anxiety into overdrive but overall I was thankful for all of the information. The book about the house and island and tubing was amazing. The major downside was there were no tubes!! The listing said there were tubes! A quick trip to Walmart, 4 Dollar Generals, & Ace Hardware told us it is the end of season. Not a single tube in the store. It would have been nice to know because we have river tubes at home that we could have brought along. We did find floats and left them for the next guests. The only other con worth mentioning is one of the beds counted in the listing is in an unfinished basement on a concrete floor. I would have been seriously upset if I had counted on that bed for one of my kids. I wouldn’t have wanted any of my children to sleep there. So I think the listing should really be for 6 people until the basement is finished but just my opinion. Overall a highly recommend! We never spoke to a person. No one messaged us or checked on us. Everything was seamless-check in & check out. Thanks.

Super great little getaway!

My family and I came up here to get away for a few days and look at some vineyards in the area. It was so peaceful and my dogs really enjoyed the cabin and the creek. Lots of nature around to see, and the hot tub was very relaxing after a day of exploring.
