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.

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.

We loved the cabin and its location. Was able to check in a little early which worked out great. Cabin was very clean. Easy walk into downtown. Loved watching floaters down the river and listening to the water. Only fault was the noise of the traffic on the other side of the river. But we did love the cabin. Would highly recommend staying there.

The cabin was absolutely perfect…rustic and isolated but in a location that was right around from the main drag. The tubers came down the river for daily entertainment. Could not have been better.
