River Life Is Wonderful

This was my second stay at River Life on the Chattahooche, and I was thrilled to find it still available when planning my trip to Helen. I love how conveniently close it is to downtown, and the area feels very safe. It was also reassuring to see that it’s still owned by the same people as it was four years ago. The location truly couldn’t be better, and the property is exceptionally clean. One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the screened-in back porch by the river every evening after dinner. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout. River Life will always be my go-to place to stay whenever I visit Helen.
