About this property

River Haus - Charming riverfront cabin right on the Chattahoochee

Guests will truly enjoy River Haus - a rustic one bedroom, one bath cabin, while listening to the sounds of the river running from the open deck overhanging the river. A fisherman's paradise - trout fishing right in front of your own cabin - catch your limit on the beautiful clear waters of the fast flowing Chattahoochee River.

The property is close to the Chattahoochee Wildlife Management Preserve. This perfect spot for rest and relaxation is located close to nature and the headwaters of the Upper Chattahoochee River. There is something for everyone in the area- fishing, hiking, river tubing, or horseback riding at Sunburst Stables or just relaxing on the deck. It is located only 1 mile from the vibrant center of Helen, GA. It's the perfect vacation cabin for a couple.

River Haus is lovingly cared for and features a cozy stone fireplace, pine paneling throughout, and a well equipped kitchen with everything you need. It is located just minutes from the shopping and dining of the delightful alpine village of Helen, GA and a short drive to the spectacular Anna Ruby Falls, Dukes Creek Falls, Smithgall Woods Center and Unicoi State Park.

Quick getaway with Mom

I wanted a place to take my 92 year old mom where we could mosey around Helen and enjoy the sights and sounds of the river. This cabin was absolutely perfect! Great location and the spot on the river was great. I can’t wait to go back with my husband sometime!

Brief stay

We decided to go to Helen for a few days to celebrate our anniversary just to relax and enjoy Helen in the off season, our stay at River Haus was great, it’s close to town yet on the river. Yes the main road is just on the other side of the river but the traffic was light so it didn’t bother us. Communication was great. Thank you!

Helen riverfront paradise

The location is perfect! Short walk to town so no need to drive and search for parking spots. The deck is right on the edge of the river! I literally fished from the deck. My wife wants to move in!

Anniversary Trip

My girlfriend and I were in Helen to celebrate our anniversary. The cabin was a relaxing location for the two of us. You couldn’t be closer to town, but it’s still quiet at night listening to the river flowing. All around we loved the cabin, location, and decor, and would recommend this location to other couples wanting to enjoy Helen!
