About this property

River Haus - Riverfront Luxury Vacation Home in Downtown Helen

Welcome to River Haus where the new rocking chair front porch with swing invites you to rest and relax knowing you have made it to your home away from home!

The spacious living room has a faux flame fireplace and a flat screen Smart TV. While there is satellite television, you may lock into any of your channel subscriptions. The kitchen is equipped with stainless appliances, an island bar with sink, log bar stools, an antler pot rack and lighting fixture, and a full-size washer and dryer. There is the standard-size refrigerator, stove/oven, and microwave. There is even a wine cooler. We also made sure you have both a standard drip coffee maker and a Keurig, a toaster oven, an ice maker, a blender, a dishwasher, and a toaster! The dining area has enough seating for ten at the heavy log dining table.

The living room opens to a large deck with an outdoor dining table. All of this was built for your relaxation while watching the Chattahoochee River below. For grilling and outdoor cooking, there is a gas grill and griddle on this covered deck. Underneath the cabin there is an entertainment area with a Tiki Bar, flat screen TV, a 7-person Hot Tub and a full-size bath along with a separate kitchen and cooking area. This outdoor kitchen has a full-size refrigerator along with a microwave, an oven/stove and a kitchen sink. River Haus boasts of the beautiful outdoor fire pit, perfect for those cool North Georgia evenings.

The Master Bedroom Suite has a King-size bed with a wall-mounted flat screen tv. The In-suite bathroom is equipped with a large walk-in shower and a hammered copper sink. There is a new bedroom on the main floor with a Queen-size bed, river views and a new full bath with a walk-in shower. There is also a bonus room just off the living room with Queen-size bunk beds on both top and bottom, as well as a half bath.

Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms also equipped with flat-screen televisions. One bedroom has a California King bed, while the other has a Queen. These bedrooms share a full bathroom. On this same level, there is an overlook to the living room, a small rocking chair nook for reading and relaxing. WiFi and Dish TV is provided so you can be "connected" while staying here.

River Haus is sure to provide all you need for downtown Helen enjoyment, riverfront entertainment, river tubing, fishing or just enjoying your private getaway from the hustle and bustle of life!

(positives) Property was awesome - plenty of space and great location on the river and convenient to town. (deltas - things they can improve on) - Cabin sleeps 12 but the "starter" supplies like towels/trash bags/laundry&dish detergent/paper towels don't support that number - please consider more. The light switches were confusing even when labeled and were not intuitive or convenient - one of the porch lights also turns on lights in an apparent add-on bedroom. The master light light switch does not have the fan wired separate, so it hard to use without waking people with the light. Please consider rewiring with guest comfort and convenience in mind. Another minor issue is the "color/temperature" of the lights. Many of the lights such as those in the master are harsh white lights. These are NOT pleasant to look at. Recommend replace most lights with "warm" lights, not "white" or "daylight" temperature as these are very harsh and uninviting. Also, consider having riversticks on hand for guests, maybe even some tubes. The grills were a bit old, and the wire brushes for the grills were falling apart which is a health concern. Recommend the wire brushes be replaced with non-metal brushes for guest safety. Consider getting some towel drying racks for guests. There was space to seat ~24 people under the house while only 12 guests are allowed to stay, which was a little off but not an issue. Still, some of that space could be used for something else instead of tables.

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at River Haus. We had family from 3 years to 73 and everyone agreed it was one of our favorite vacations. The location, walkabilty to downtown, and the proximity to the river made it a perfect spot for us. The house is amazing and had everything we needed. Wonderful trip!

Long weekend in Helen

This house is an excellent option for a group of 6-8 people. House is like a huge log cabin with an amazing outdoor area to enjoy. You can sit on the porch and watch the tubers go by. Easy walk to downtown (10-15 minutes). We had one question about the hot tub and heard back immediately. Thanks for a great stay- we will definitely be back!!

Awesome Property

River Haus is an awesome property. It appears to have been well maintained and cared for. Our family’s ages are 62-87 so 6 recliners were perfect for us. Beds were all comfortable as well. Kitchen had everything we needed, (only ate one lunch out in 4 days/nights). Loved all the labeled light switch & misc. wall plates. We fished right off of the property, enjoyed the fire pit and being on the water was so relaxing. A very large outdoor basement area was a nice surprise. The only thing we would have benefited from was an ice maker but that’s not a deal breaker when making another trip. All 7 of us loved it. We’d absolutely stay there again!

Spring Break Trip with Family

Perfect place to stay for a big family trip. You have the privacy you don’t get at the hotels in the surroundings area. It’s within walking distance from the downtown area. My family raved about the whole experience 10 out of 10.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Such a cozy vacation property. The location is the best. It’s right on the River and everything is walkable if you choose. Beautiful cabin. Our master bed mattress was worn out, the owner went out the same day and purchased a new mattress. Great service. Highly recommend this for your vacation stay!
