Discount June 21-28! Luxury River House, hot tub, kayaks, fire pit, dogs OK

You'll think you've died and gone to heaven! This luxury cabin known as 'White Rapids Retreat' is located on the Buck Shoals gorgeous wide stretch of the Chattahoochee River near Helen, and is anything but ordinary. Relax and sleep to the sounds of the rushing river rapids just 50 feet from the cabin and enjoy the panoramic open views of the river while soaking in the hot tub. Complimentary Kayaks are included so you can enjoy some river adventure!
This unique section of the river directly behind the cabin is your own private water amusement park: enjoy swimming, sunning and relaxing on the sandbar in the middle of the river, tubing / kayaking / rafting from behind the cabin, playing on the natural rock waterslides, and exploring the rock shoals of the river. The fishing is excellent behind the cabin for shoal bass, striped bass, catfish, and bream.
The kids will love exploring & playing on the property, like we used to do when we were kids(no phones or video games needed). Your stress will melt away as you catnap on the riverside screened porch. The screened porch overlooks the river and has satellite TV so Dad won't miss any of the football game. Flat Screen HD TV's with Directv receivers have Smart TV Roku built-in so you can log into your Netflix account and enjoys movies and wine by the living room stacked stone fireplace. Any gourmet chef would be delighted by the beautiful kitchen, gas grill outdoor kitchen unit on the deck, and charcoal grill down by the river.
The picnic table next to the river makes the perfect place for a Sunday afternoon cookout. Your kids will never forget the family nights spent around the riverside flagstone fire pit with Adirondack chairs telling ghost stories, catching fireflies, and roasting marshmallows. Drink a cherry Coke on the front porch swing and you'll feel like your back in Mayberry.
Nature lovers should keep an eye out for the wild deer and Canadian geese in the backyard while sipping your morning coffee. This property is very private and secluded on 5 acres of wooded property, and the opposite side of the river is part of a state park. Enjoy nature walks through the woods on the property, and walk up the creek on our property to a waterfall.
The interior of the cabin is beautifully decorated with rustic log furniture and antique motif. Whatever your age or interests, there is something for everyone at this extraordinary river cabin retreat.
Guests consistently remark that they have never seen a more breathtaking river view property as this one!!! This is the ultimate river cabin vacation experience!!! Pets are allowed at the rate of $20/night per pet and must be disclosed at the time of booking
If you have a large group and need extra bedrooms and beds, we own a sister property immediately next door, that is also on the river and also has a creek & waterfall behind it. Just goto the Stonewalls Retreat page by searching for VRBO property #2436376.

Paradise

Pictures do not do it justice. Absolutely beautiful location. The river has the absolutely best spot for family, kids, dogs, swimming, fishing, or just chilling out. Great small towns to visit, shop & eat all within 10-30 minutes. We loved it!

Super quiet location with amazing river frontage and close to many smaller towns for day trips. Listing is accurate! Hot tub was a definite plus after a day of exploring. River is perfect for fishing and hunting for treasures. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Home away from home!

This place was everything I hoped for and more! Great location. The view is stunning! This is a gorgeous property with everything, and I mean everything, you would want to feel like home. Every decorative detail is special. We enjoyed board games, the hot tub, the kitchen, the screened in porch, the view from each bedroom, the fire pit area and the river too. We made some great memories as a family and we would definitely stay again!

Girls trip

We chose the location for a girls trip. The views of the water were exceptional. We wish there was easier water access, like a couple of steps in and out of the water but we managed just fine. The kitchen was stocked and worked well for all our meals. And we loved the proximity of Helen. A couple of things could have been better but all in all we enjoyed our stay.

Great Lil' Family Vaca!

We had a really great time with family fishing and grilling. The river is just beautiful and walking across the "hairy" rocks was a lot of fun. We didn't take advantage of the kayaks- maybe next time! The older folks in our party said the big beds slept well-- the bunkbeds on mine and my husband's 50 year old bodies were a little tough- but younger people wouldn't have an issue. Everything was well organized and stocked, though more silverware would have been good, but we made do. Our only complaint was the grill. The men had a difficult time with getting it lit with the ignitor not working, but once it was it grilled perfectly! Also, the main trashcan was full from previous guests so we worried about raccoons pilfering through the can, but luckily nothing happened. Be aware, the driveway is very steep, but all of the vehicles made it up and down without issue. Great place for rest and relaxation and we highly recommend!

Weekend trip

Fast trip for trout fishing. River does not have trout. Had to drive 26 min for trout. Poor research on my part. House was nice with exception of very heavy dust over all pictures and wall art. Outside deck unkept. Shoes laying around and leaves everywhere under deck. Nice stay for short trip. Felt like we borrowed someone’s house while they were away. We enjoyed it though.

Relaxing Weekend Getaway

Property was clean and in good condition when we arrived. Everything was as pictured in the listing. Loved having the sound of the river throughout our stay. Bed was super comfortable and the view of the river when waking up was very nice. We used the hot tub and grill and everything was great. Would suggest more comfortable porch furniture but we added pillows and enjoyed board games and reading during the day which was lovely.

needs updating

We were first here in early 2023 and that visit was great. But our return visit this year was far from spectacular. First the ice maker wasn't working and on such 85 degree days it was much needed. The owner responded quickly and sent the cleaner over to fix,6 hrs later it still didn't work so the owner said go to a gas station miles away and buy a bag of ice.This was an inconvenience since we just came back from the supermarket. Next, we decided to do a load of laundry and discovered the washer didn't drain, leaving all our items soaking wet, we had to wring them out in the sink before putting in dryer. We wiped the floor in the kitchen and the paper towel came up filthy and black. The screen in the br was hanging off, the decking material was old and weathered and the hot tub was dirty. All in all the visit was ok. we understand its a mountain cabin and some of this is expected. The screened in porch is great and the proximity to river can't be beat. beware, the driveway is very steep and narrow.

Riverside Getaway

Absolutely gorgeous cabin directly on the river- loved it! WIFI was good. Beds were comfortable. Cabin was extremely clean and smelled good. Only used living room TV and it worked great. Microwave and dishwasher work. We did not cook. Bathrooms were spacious and beautiful. The covered screened in back porch was our favorite spot. The sound and sight of the river was mesmerizing. Host is not kidding about the GPS- it will LIE to you and try to get you to drive across people’s backyards. Do not fall for the lies! Roads to property consist of dirt and gravel but we had no issues. Driveway is steep but is concrete. Plenty of space to park. I tried to contact the property owner about a few minor issues not worth mentioning in a review but the messaging system did not seem to be working. My message failed to send. There is a small one cup at a time Kuerig coffee maker that works just fine as well as a regular coffee maker which we did not use. We have been coming to the area annually for our anniversary for nearly a decade and this was definitely one of the best places. Our first time staying on a river and I am hooked! Almost forgot to discuss privacy. There are 2 cabins sort of within view from the front yard but the back deck, where you will spend most of your time, is extremely private. It is elevated above the bank enough that people walking in the river are not going to be peering in at you. There are cabins across the river but I could not see them.

This property is the perfect location on the River. We enjoyed swimming, fishing, and kayaking. It’s so nice to unplug and refresh, but still have the capabilities to hop on the emergency Zoom meeting. We had a few minor issues the first day, but the property manager was awesome and had us all fixed up in no time. We look forward to coming back next year.

Beautiful place but definitely wasn't private

The house and property are beautiful! We especially enjoyed the peaceful moments when we could read and relax to the sound of the river.That said, we chose this property over two others—paying about 150 more—because the listing emphasized its privacy and location on 5 acres. We were really looking forward to a quiet, private getaway to decompress from our demanding jobs. Unfortunately, the listing did not mention that two neighboring properties also share the waterfront access. Both of those homes were occupied by large groups with children during our stay, which significantly impacted the sense of privacy and quiet we were expecting. Even inside the house with the doors closed, we could hear kids yelling. While we truly don’t mind kids having fun, it wasn't the tranquil setting we had hoped for, and my friend decided not to fish at all because of the constant activity right in front of the house.The hot tub also wasn’t all that private—it faces the shared waterfront, where people were frequently hanging out. The living room windows do not have curtains, which normally wouldn’t be a concern, but since people kept walking past the house to get to the water, it did feel a bit exposed.Overall, the property has a lot of potential, and for the right group—perhaps families or social gatherings—it could be a wonderful choice. But for anyone looking for true privacy and a quiet escape, it’s important to be aware of the shared waterfront. We wish that had been made clearer.
