Ours was a reunion of old classmates. We were all at least 70 years old. The hostess was a wonderful lady who really helped me out with some parking issues. The ladies that were staying in the downstairs bedroom did say that one of the lights in their bathroom was out and the other one was blinking, so that needs to be fixed for safety. Other than that everyone was really happy with the accommodations and all of the room we had. Thank you again!! Mary Creekmore

Family get together

Overall it was great place for the 10 of us to get together for a little reunion! The only thing that could have made it any better was if it was all on the same level as the 3 older folks had a hard time with the stairs. But we made it work and the view of the river and closeness of the short walk / drive to Helen was worth it . I would definitely book this lovely comfortable place again.

Relaxing

This property was just what we expected. Perfect location. Walking distance to everything. The location on the river was the most amazing part of the stay. The location was just past where all the tubers got out so it was like the river belonged to us. The downstairs bedroom turned out to be a queen bed with another full/twin bunkbed. Everything just perfect

Great family reunion.

This house has 4 bedrooms on 3 floors. Each bedroom is spacious and has it own bathroom. There is a half bath on the main floor with the washer dryer. Small kitchen but well equipped. A couple of guests thought the fans needed cleaning. The WIFI didn’t work at first. We had 2 different sets of instructions. The host did not respond but i think it was remotely rebooted as it started to work. House sleeps 11 but there are only 2 actual parking spaces. You must contact the host if you want to park more. The neighbors are a lot closer than the picture might lead you to believe. Lots of things to do. Bettys grocery store on main is well stocked.

Bathtubs and showers full of mold and mildew including tile, shower curtains, liners, and jets. Spider webs hanging from ceiling and on walls. The blinds were missing the rod that allowed you to open and close them. Had to run hand down to close and then open each individual blind. Found a used adult toy in the bedside table. Blood stains on bedding. Messaged owners and three days later I still have not heard from them.

Location of the house to downtown events was perfect. Everything was able to be walked to. More than enough room for 8 adults. The property was clean and well maintained. The outdoor space was very relaxing. There was a fire pit with seating, swinging, outdoor T.V. with sitting area, hot tub and tables for an outdoor meal.

The house was beautifully located right on the river and it was a great place for our family to hang out on the decks and just enjoy being together. The owner was wonderful ever time we needed him he always called us. I cant say enough about this place it was just a nice get away and the house has every thing, that if you didn't want yo leave you wouldn't have to. But we sure enjoyed the bakeries and enjoyed Helen alot. We hope to find time to book this house again.

It was good but not great! The outside area was not as clean as it should of been. The house had water bugs (roaches). Getting out of the carport was challenging to say the least. A lot of foot traffic through the yard. Shower curtains were molded. The tubs with the jets are a challenge for older people to get in and out.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Maynard

Host profile image
We live in Statham, GA and own a learning center, Kidz Academy, located in Winder, GA. We take a very hands-on approach to managing our business, therefore we work very long days. When we are fortunate enough to take time off for pleasure we enjoy visiting our cabin, the Chattahoochee Chalet. We also enjoy camping. So when our cabin is rented we are camping and exploring the area in our Jeep Wrangler with the top down. We have two boys and they also have Jeep Wranglers and enjoy camping with us. We have been visiting Helen and enjoying Oktoberfest since 1977. Our entire family would all meet in Helen for Oktoberfest...great times were had and great memories were made! Everyone should experience Oktoberfest in Helen!

Why they chose this property

When we first saw the Chattahoochee Chalet for the first time we fell in love with it! There are so many features of this chalet that standout. The view and sounds of the Chattahoochee River are the best in Helen! The proxmity to downtown Helen is a short walk to enjoy everything Helen has to ovver. Plus, the outside living space is fantastic...large deck, screened-in deck, & large patio all with great views of the river. Our dream of owning our second property in Helen came true in March 2016. The Chattahoochee Chalet is our place to go to relax and to continue to make amazing memories with our family and friends. If you every stay at the Chattahoochee Chalet you will never stay at another cabin in Helen!

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of the Chattahoochee Chalet is the location. The chalet is located on the Chattahoochee River within a short walk to downtown Helen. You have incredible rivers views from all of the bedrooms, the family room, the hot tub, the huge deck and the outdoor patio.. The river bank offers a unique flat grassey area that allows easy access to the river to wade or swim. The cabin is located in an area of the river that offers the best trout fishing in White County. Everyone that stays at our cabin LOVES that you can walk to downtown Helen...within 10 minutes you can enjoy all of the activities in downtown Helen including Oktoberfest, shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, candy shops and much more!
