Magical Family Holiday

This family trip was planned well in advance and it was just as amazing as advertised. Proximity to everything was perfect for my family to explore everything Helen has to offer. I would highly recommend as the amenities and beauty this lodge has to offer is second to none.

Best Spot in Helen!

Absolute best place to stay in Helen! Completely undersold on Vrbo site! You don’t realize how close you are to the main st in town until you see it in person. The caveat to that is it is very private and woodsy so you can feel very far away if you choose to. The outdoor space and river flowing through the back yard can only be imagined in person. My family (8) was completely blown away as was I. The inside was just as amazing as the outside. Very open with plenty of outdoor light to give you a great morning wake up view. To sum it up I would be highly disappointed if was not able to stay in the same home on my next visit!

Terrible experience

We arrived at approximately 5:30PM after a full day of travel. The house had not been cleaned from the prior guests. Due to the time of day and size of our party we were not able to find another place to stay. It was stressful and disappointing. The property manager did send cleaners that who worked until 9PM to try and clean the house. We finished washing the sheets and making beds ourselves up until about 10PM but we had no other options. The hot tub stopped working the night we arrived as well and was not able to be repaired during our stay. The dishes and silverware had been put up dirty and we had trouble finding enough things that looked clean to eat off of. There are not enough towels in the house so we had to share towels and wash a load every time we used them. The house itself is beautiful and the location was awesome. The property manager did refund our entire stay and did make efforts to find cleaners and repair personnel, so I guess they did what they could. This property has so much potential. If they had a cleaners and would spend a few dollars on towels and a couple of other small things this would be a five star rental. If we knew the property was clean and everything was working we would go back - it is a really nice house - but we did not see anything to make us believe that it is worth taking a chance on renting it again. I would be extremely careful if you rent this property - verfiy that it has been cleaned, verify there are towels, etc

Fun spot!

Great location and awesome views. Highly recommend that the property manager switch out tv’s to smart tv’s as we had to re-program a few remotes to get direct tv to work. Also couldn’t get the hot tub warmed up, but overall we had a great stay. Perfect for walking into downtown Helen and saving money on Uber’s. Loved this stay!

About the host

Hosted by Tina Maynard

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 lodge, the Chattahoochee Lodge. We also enjoy camping. So when our lodge 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!

Tina & Billy Maynard the lodge in 2018.

Why they chose this property

The Chattahoochee Lodge construction was completed in May 2010. It is located across the river from Helen's Festhalle and only 2 blocks from downtown Helen. The lodge has an open concept with a kitchen, dining, & family. The kitchen features new stainless steel appliances & 2 bars that seat up to 10 people. You can dine while viewing the Chattahoochee River. The family room features a 30 foot wall of glass overlooking the river and a 26 foot rock fireplace. The walls are covered in Ship-lap siding and the ceiling is tongue & groove pine with beautifully stained trusses. Each of the 4 bedrooms has queen beds, a bathroom, a fireplace and a Smart TV. The loft bedroom has a queen size Murphy bed. The loft has a pool table and ping pong table. The outdoor living space has a flag stone patio with a fire pit and a huge deck that overlooks the river. The lodge is perfect for a family retreat, summer vacation, Oktoberfest celebration, reunions, weddings, or just a weekend getaway!

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of the Chattahoochee Lodge is the location. The cabin is located across the Chattahoochee River from the Festhalle & within a short walk (2 blocks) to downtown Helen. You have incredible rivers views the family room, the hot tub, the huge deck and the outdoor patio and fire pit. The river bank offers a unique beach 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 lodge LOVES that you can walk to downtown Helen...within a couple of minutes you can enjoy all of the activities in downtown Helen including Oktoberfest, shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, candy shops and much more!
