About this property

Discount Jan & Feb! Luxury River home, hot tub, kayak, game room, fire pit, dog

You'll think you've died and gone to heaven! This luxury river home known as 'FireFly Retreat' is located on the Buck Shoals gorgeous wide section of the Chattahoochee River near Helen. This 7 bedroom house is anything but ordinary, and is perfect for family reunions, gathering with friends, and work retreats. The house is brand new construction and was professionally decorated by an interior designer. The house sleeps 19 people in beds. Relax and sleep to the sounds of the rushing river rapids just behind the house and enjoy the panoramic open views of the river while soaking in the hot tub. 3 Complimentary Kayaks are included so you can enjoy some river adventure! This unique section of the river directly behind the house 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 house, playing on the natural rock waterslides, and exploring the rock shoals of the river. The fishing is good behind the house 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 porches on each level of the house, overlooking the river. The main level back porch has a custom farm table that seats 18 people. Every bedroom has a Flat Screen HD TV's with Smart TV Roku built-in so you can log into your Netflix account and enjoy movies and wine by the living room stacked stone fireplace. Any gourmet chef would be delighted by the beautiful kitchen, gas grill outdoor kitchen 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 fire pit with Adirondack chairs telling ghost stories, catching fireflies, and roasting marshmallows. Drink a cherry Coke on the front porch and you'll feel like you're 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 3 acres of wooded property, and the opposite side of the river is part of a state park for extra privacy. The interior of the house is beautifully & professionally decorated. Whatever your age or interests, there is something for everyone at this extraordinary river home retreat. Guests consistently remark that they have never seen a more breathtaking river view property as this one!!! This is the ultimate river home vacation experience!!! The setup of beds and bedrooms for this 7 bedroom, 3 level house is as follows: The Terrace Level (basement) sleeps 7 people and has a bedroom with king bed and private bath, another bedroom with a king bed and shared bath, and a third bedroom with full size bed, and a single bed over it and a shared bath. The main level (first floor) sleeps 6 people and has the master bedroom with king bed and large private bath, another bedroom with king bed and shared bath, and a bunk bed room with 2 twin beds and shared bath. The upstairs (second floor) bedroom sleeps 6 people and has 2 queen beds, and a pull out queen sofa bed and utilizes a shared bathroom on the first floor. So the entire house sleeps 19 people in beds. If you have a very large group and need extra bedrooms and beds, we own 2 other properties next door on the river (each sleeping 8 more people) , that are also on the river and also has a creek & waterfall behind it.

Peaceful Family Getaway by the Creek
Our family of 14 had a great time and we had enough space for all of us. We loved the fire pit outside that we used nightly. The teenage boys loved the creek and did some fly fishing with there waders. My parents and another sister booked the house next to us so we had a great time with all our family. Kids loved the pool table and they even played some flag football outside. One of our favorite parts was the sounds of the creek, very peaceful, if it wasn't so cold I would have stayed on the back porch for hours. House was well stocked in the kitchen. We enjoyed our time away and being with Family. Thank you.

Great Place for Privacy and Comfort
Great place on the Chattahoochee. The home was perfect for our group. The driveway is very steep but other than that the house was a great find. Super clean, large, stocked with everything you can ask for. We would rent again..

About the host

Hosted by Rob Limehouse

Host profile image
I own and manage 5 vacation rental houses (3 on the Chattahoochee River near Helen, 1 in the Florida Keys, and 1 in The Bahamas). I only live about 45 minutes away, so I typically come over to the property about once a week to check on things and make sure all is in order, coordinate repairs, etc.. so this is a well maintained property. My wife and I have 3 kids that grew up playing in the river behind this property.

Why they chose this property

It's brand new, and it has spectacular views of the river. And you will enjoy the river and being on the property that you wont even want to leave to go into Helen. This house is first class and is made for those that like to "treat themselves" when they go on vacation and dont want to skimp on their vacation accommodations.
