Guests will truly enjoy River Haus: a rustic one bedroom, one bath cabin while listening to the sounds of the river running by 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.

Cabin Rentals of Helen were wonderful to work with and Ally was so helpful addressing our concerns regarding Hurricane Helene hitting the area, our reservations were for the following week. Thank God Helen was not hit as hard others.

We have rented River Haus twice. We love that we can walk into town from this location, enjoy the deck overlooking the river and watch the people in tubes.

I booked the River Haus two years ago, but was unable to make it there until this month. The cabin was well worth the wait. Its a beautiful cabin, stocked with everything you could need. From the darling decor to the books on the nightstand, this cabin has been put together with thought and purpose. The location cannot be beat. Being able to sit on the deck and watch all the tubers during the day and enjoy the fireflies at night, this cabin is all I could have ever asked for. The River Haus is also within walking distance of the town center so you really feel like you are in the middle of everything.

We visit Helen a minimum of once/year. River Haus has been one of our favorites so far - its in the perfect location around town - close to everythingcan walk with my fold up rolling cart to Bettys Country Store to restock on supplies, Also, LOVE that it has the Hooch (river), a fireplace, AND an outdoor fire pit!! The dwelling itself is the perfect size, appears well taken care of, and is the perfect size for couples (could even fit another guest on the couch, if desired). Note, parking is limited (small-ish off-road slip right in front of the cabin)if you arrive in more than one vehicle, or take a large truck (like we did), this could be a problem. Also - there is a road on the opposite side of the river, so if that could be a bother, may be of consideration (the sound of the Hooch drowned out most of the road noise, but it still annoyed hubby).

LOCATION! Couldnt have found a better location. A quaint cottage on the riverside with everything in Helen within 10 minutes walking distance. Get up at sunrise and drink your coffee on the patio with the sound of the flowing river and then walk to this beautiful Bavarian town. We will certainly come back

The cabin was so comfy and when you walked in you could smell the fire from the previous attendant. The bed was cozy, tv worked, Wi-Fi was great.

Not far from downtown and shops. Just down the street is a great area to take pictures of a water fall. Cabin was well equipped with what you need for cooking.
