About this property

Enjoy breathtaking long-range mountain views while sipping wine in the hot tub!
Just 10 minutes from the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia.

Whether you're visiting the North Georgia mountains for a wedding, winery tours, one of our many festivals like Oktoberfest, admiring the fall leaves, a college graduation, a family vacation, or in hopes of striking it rich while panning for gold, we're certain that our home will be a place of rest and relaxation during your stay.

Visit the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia nestled in the Appalachian mountains of North Georgia. This area was once home to the mighty Cherokee. When settled by Europeans in the 1800's it became the site of the first U.S. gold rush. Then later became the quaint little German town it is today.

Come during late September through the end of October to not only enjoy the changing leaves, but also experience the Oktoberfest celebrations!

Our home is also an excellent place of respite for the adventurer! There are countless hiking trails, excellent roads for mountain biking, exceptional trout fishing waters, and more waterfalls than you can see on one trip.

Fun for the whole family too, with a waterpark, zip line adventures, horseback riding, river tubing, mini-golf, gold & gem mining, award-winning vineyards, a local brewery, unique shops, amish bakeries, antiquing, great local & German cuisine, and much more!

Our mountain chalet was built in 2005. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living spaces, and a kitchen and dining area. There's more than 1000 sq. ft. of wrap around porches to take in the majestic mountain views. When you're ready to relax after a long day of exploring all the area has to offer, slip into the hot tub with a glass of wine or make s'mores in the camp fire out back.

There is a smart doorbell installed by the front door with audio and video recording capabilities for security purposes.

Family Weekend Getaway

Ritz on the Rocks is a beautiful property. The views are spectacular. Everything you need is here. Plenty of room for our party of 6. We had packed several kitchen items, but we shouldn’t have. They had everything you would need, including a propane grill. It was a home away from home. Helen was only a short ride away and Cleveland too. I would absolutely recommend this property for your next getaway.

Wonderful experience

The place is beautiful and well kept. The views were amazing - beautiful sunsets over the mountains. Plenty of amenities - hot tub, games, WiFi, etc. location is great - easy to Cleveland for groceries, easy to Helen and other points of interest. If we come back to this area, then I can’t imagine wanting to stay anywhere else!

Absolute Perfection!

The magic is in the details and this property has a ton of magic! The location is great, we come to the area multiple times a year and never stay on this side of the mountain and was really happy to be so close to great hikes, wineries and downtown Helen. The property is gorgeous and the views were so stunning it did not look real. The owners are great and really paid attention to the details. Well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and baskets with extra blankets. The welcome binder has all the information you could ever need so there are no questions on where to go and what to do and plenty of space for a big group. Five stars all the way!

Christmas at Ritz on the Rocks

Our large group (10) had a wonderful Christmas at Ritz on the Rocks. There was plenty of room for everyone and because it rained our whole stay, we hunkered down inside and had a great time playing games, enjoying the hot tub, eating and drinking. We were able to squeeze in a short fire pit visit (and made s'mores) before the rain started our first night at the house, would have used more except for the downpours! Finally saw the beautiful view the morning we were leaving, might have to return to take full advantage of this great spot! Thanks for your hospitality!

Beautiful

This home is perfect for a family vacation. This location offers the privacy of a mountain cabin yet is close enough to Helen for enjoying the restaurants, hiking and festivities that the town has to offer. Highly recommended

About the host

Hosted by Mitch Lathem

I'm a happily married father, local real estate broker, nature and wildlife photographer, volunteer soccer coach, world traveler, outdoor enthusiast, adventure junkie, working for an international Christian missions organization.

I'm a native North Georgian. Born, raised, and currently living in Gainesville, just 20 minutes south of Dahlonega. My wife, Monya, and I met at Young Harris College in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and then hung around Athens for a few years to earn our degrees from the University of Georgia. It was love at first sight. It just took her a few years to realize it. We got married in the fall of 2007 at Big Canoe, yep you guessed it... in the mountains. She went on to get her master's from Brenau University and is an elementary school teacher. She thinks she's smarter than me, she's probably right. She's certainly better looking.

Our team consists of our daughter, Adri (9), and our son, Adler (6). I always tell everyone, "we've done our part and created our replacements". She's compliant and contemplative, like her mother, and he's our little strong-willed explorer, just like his old man. We have the most gentle and loving Great Dane Lab mix named Sophie, a temperamental self absorbed cat named Coal, and a spastic rescue squirrel named Lucky.

My hair is quickly turning gray. It started at 17. I like to think of it as my pre-mature crown of glory. It's probably just hereditary. And yes, I was born with a beard.
