About this property

River Haus - Riverfront cabin 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 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.

This was a very relaxing spot right on the river--which is exactly what we wanted. I opened the window in the bedroom and slept listening to the flow of the river. It probably isn't a good spot for anyone with mobility issues. The walkway to the door is stones in concrete--beautiful but not level. The decor is amusing and beautiful. If there was a hammock below, this would be the most perfect spot just one mile for the cutest town.

We highly enjoyed our stay. This small cabin is perfect for two. While the weather was uncooperative for us to enjoy sitting outside, this cabin is literally right on the river. In better weather it would be relaxing to sit outside and listen to the river. This cabin had everything we needed for our short stay, was an easy walk or drive to the main drag, and was exactly as pictured. We would return.

I guess I'm a unique guest compared to the others who have left 5-star reviews, but this little cabin isn't even close to what we hoped for at the price we paid. I booked this property because of this description: "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." BUT nowhere in the description or photos does it disclose that between 9am and 7pm each and every day, there are 1000 screaming kids and drunk rednecks on innertubes that take over the river. We even had people from the river walking onto the property and invading our privacy. Of course, this made it impossible to fish, which was the only reason I was there. So between the road noise from the highway on the opposite side of the river and the never-ending stream of tubers, there was not much hope of finding the "rest and relaxation" the property description promises. The chairs at the fire pit and on the deck were so neglected and dirty. The inside of the cabin is also neglected and dated, and needs a thorough deep cleaning. PROs: The management group does an excellent job of making sure you know how to check in and check out and connect with them during your stay. The cabin location is excellent if you want to get away from town, but still be close enough to walk into town. It probably took us 10 minutes to get to the edge of town and 25-30 minutes to walk to anywhere we wanted to shop or eat.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the check-in process smooth and appreciated our communication, as well as the convenient location close to town. We’re truly sorry that your expectations for a quiet fishing-focused experience were not met. The river is a public, natural attraction and is shared with the community, especially during peak summer months when tubing is active. We do our best to accurately represent the property and its surroundings, but we understand that activity levels on the river can vary significantly by season and may impact different guests in different ways. We also appreciate your comments regarding cleanliness and outdoor furnishings. This will be reviewed with our team to ensure the property is being maintained to our standards, as guest comfort is very important to us. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We value it as it helps us improve, and we wish you the best in your future travels.

We loved the cabin and its location. Was able to check in a little early which worked out great. Cabin was very clean. Easy walk into downtown. Loved watching floaters down the river and listening to the water. Only fault was the noise of the traffic on the other side of the river. But we did love the cabin.
