About this property

River Haus - Riverfront cabin on the Chattahoochee

Guests will truly enjoy River Haus: a rustic one bedroom, one bath cabin while listening to the sounds of the river running by from the open deck overhanging the river. A fisherman's paradise - trout fishing right in front of your own cabin - catch your limit on the beautiful clear waters of the fast-flowing Chattahoochee River.

The property is close to the Chattahoochee Wildlife Management Preserve. This perfect spot for rest and relaxation is located close to nature and the headwaters of the Upper Chattahoochee River. There is something for everyone in the area- fishing, hiking, river tubing, or horseback riding at Sunburst Stables, or just relaxing on the deck. It is located only 1 mile from the vibrant center of Helen, GA. It's the perfect vacation cabin for a couple.

This was a very relaxing spot right on the river--which is exactly what we wanted. I opened the window in the bedroom and slept listening to the flow of the river. It probably isn't a good spot for anyone with mobility issues. The walkway to the door is stones in concrete--beautiful but not level. The decor is amusing and beautiful. If there was a hammock below, this would be the most perfect spot just one mile for the cutest town.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad the riverfront setting was exactly what you were looking for—there’s nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of the water. We appreciate your note regarding the walkway, as it can be helpful for future guests to be aware. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the décor and found the space both beautiful and unique. And we love the hammock idea—what a perfect addition that would be! We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing stay soon

We highly enjoyed our stay. This small cabin is perfect for two. While the weather was uncooperative for us to enjoy sitting outside, this cabin is literally right on the river. In better weather it would be relaxing to sit outside and listen to the river. This cabin had everything we needed for our short stay, was an easy walk or drive to the main drag, and was exactly as pictured. We would return.
