About this property

Relax & Unwind at Ritz on the Rocks! Dog Friendly, Hot Tub, Near Wineries!

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.

Daughter's 21st Birthday

We had a great stay at Ritz on the Rocks. Our family and friends celebrated our daughter's birthday. This property had beautiful views and we were all very comfortable and relaxing. The location was great allowing us to easily get to wineries as well as multiple hiking locations. Thank you for sharing this great place and helping us create lasting memories!

Our stay at The Ritz’s was wonderful. It was my birthday so we rented this beautiful house and enjoyed every minute there. We went to Helen Georgia twice and enjoyed it. Mitch was wonderful he was waiting on us when we checked in. The house is great for a family gathering.

Mountain retreat close to Helen

Wonderful stay! We were only a quick drive from downtown Helen yet it felt like we were nestled far away. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It was made extra charming and cozy by the Christmas tree.

A perfect mountain getaway!

The cabin's location was perfect, just a short drive from Helen and Dahlonega, and the easy access via a paved lane made it a breeze to get to, even without 4WD. The three-level layout of the cabin was ideal for our family, providing ample space for everyone. The views from the cabin were simply breathtaking, and we could have easily spent our entire trip admiring the scenery without ever leaving. I would highly recommend!!

Family Vacation

This house was perfect for my family to have a long weekend and unwind. The view is beautiful! It was very private and felt remote but was only a short distance to Helen. We even got to see a bear on our last day there! Perfect ending to a perfect vacation.

Awesome time! Scenic views! Perfect location!

We had an amazing time. It’s perfect distance and central to many locations; minutes from Helen, trails, tubing, the sliding rock and many more. The house was clean, beautiful, and spacious. The family and kids loved the fire pit, hot tub, and greatly appreciated the s’mores gift left by our wonderful hosts. The hosts were very attentive, caring, and easy to communicate with. 5 ⭐️s all around!!

Beautiful Mountain Vacation

We stayed for 5 nights/6 days and from the time we arrived, we immediately felt relaxed. Beautiful scenery & perfect accommodations for our family (ages 25-55). Even with the rain, we could sit on the covered back porch and just enjoy the hot tub, gorgeous mountain view and each other’s company. The fire pit and the outside games were a fun experience as well for us. The drive into Helen, for tubing and restaurants/shopping, or hiking to the Falls was so easy and beautiful. Our family definitely plans to re-book again in the future.

Pretty much just a great place all around, especially for a pet friendly place. Our dog never gets to come on these family trips with us and loved getting to explore around the cabin. Great location close to wineries, breweries, safari park, Helen, and Dahlonega. Very comfortable house with amazing views!

About the host

Hosted by Mitch Lathem

Host profile image
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.
