Great for families

Check in was easy, the property is located on the banks of the river and within walking distance to all attractions. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and there is even an extra bahroom on the main floor. This location is perfect and the chalet is nicely appointed and very clean on the inside. Parking can be tight with the condos next door, but we werre able to park a large van and had no issues with maneuvering. There are two dedicated parking spaces conveniently located next to the chalet. The decks were gorgeous but had some huge spider webs and a layer of leaves. It was no problem to sweep them away. Overall, I would stay here again and recommend to anyone bringing a group to this area! wonderful!

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.

Need to bring

Enjoyed the water and close to town. We could walk or drive. Needed more room for trash. It was mostly full when we got there sat. Left Friday and still no trash people came. Loved the porch on the bottom floor. If you have a large group and plan on cooking bring your own pots. Couldn't get the tvs to work properly. Each room had a bathroom so everyone felt more at home.

Wonderful for large family!

Stayed here with my entire family ( 9 people) large enough to both all be together, yet have a private space to go when you need to not be with the big group. Helen is such a beautiful town, lots of natural beauty and lots of friendly people.

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.

Family

Family vacation grandparents, parents, grandchildren. Three babies under 2. We had a great time! A couple of issues after arrival, taken care immediately by Barry and Jessica. This is a great place for adults and I would stay here again with friends and other adults, but probably not with babies again, just because of the stairs. We did take baby gates with us, so that helped a lot.

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!
