About this property

Relax & Unwind at Ritz on the Rocks! Dog Friendly, Hot Tub, Near Wineries!

Enjoy breathtaking long-range mountain views while sipping wine in the hot tub!
Just 10 minutes from the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia.

Whether you're visiting the North Georgia mountains for a wedding, winery tours, one of our many festivals like Oktoberfest, admiring the fall leaves, a college graduation, a family vacation, or in hopes of striking it rich while panning for gold, we're certain that our home will be a place of rest and relaxation during your stay.

Visit the Bavarian Alps replica town of Helen, Georgia nestled in the Appalachian mountains of North Georgia. This area was once home to the mighty Cherokee. When settled by Europeans in the 1800's it became the site of the first U.S. gold rush. Then later became the quaint little German town it is today.

Come during late September through the end of October to not only enjoy the changing leaves, but also experience the Oktoberfest celebrations!

Our home is also an excellent place of respite for the adventurer! There are countless hiking trails, excellent roads for mountain biking, exceptional trout fishing waters, and more waterfalls than you can see on one trip.

Fun for the whole family too, with a waterpark, zip line adventures, horseback riding, river tubing, mini-golf, gold & gem mining, award-winning vineyards, a local brewery, unique shops, amish bakeries, antiquing, great local & German cuisine, and much more!

Our mountain chalet was built in 2005. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living spaces, and a kitchen and dining area. There's more than 1000 sq. ft. of wrap around porches to take in the majestic mountain views. When you're ready to relax after a long day of exploring all the area has to offer, slip into the hot tub with a glass of wine or make s'mores in the camp fire out back.

There is a smart doorbell installed by the front door with audio and video recording capabilities for security purposes.

Ritz on the Rocks was everything we hoped it would be! The beautiful house has spectacular views of the North Georgia mountain sunsets. The beds were very comfortable and the well-appointed kitchen was great for fixing our family meals. The roomy two living rooms gave us plenty of room for our entire family to enjoy the stay. The horseshoe pit and cornhole set were fun. The teens in the group enjoyed the firepit and s'mores on the last night. The hosts thought of everything to make our stay great!

This was one of the best vrbo properties I have ever stayed at. The house itself offered private bedrooms and baths on each floor that was perfect for our girls trip. It was clearly clean and well kept. The view was just gorgeous and it was very convenient to Helen. The owner, Mitch, was so pleasant and easy to work with and the smores welcome gift was such a thoughtful touch.

Annual Family Vacation

We always look forward to our annual family vacation to Helen. We've stayed in several cabins and this has been our favorite. The cabin is always well stocked and clean. The owners are excellent at reaching out to see if you have any needs. They even txt to let us know the area was expecting bad weather during our stay. They go above to make sure your stay is a pleasant one. Can't wait to stay again next year!

Mountain retreat close to Helen

Wonderful stay! We were only a quick drive from downtown Helen yet it felt like we were nestled far away. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It was made extra charming and cozy by the Christmas tree.

My family and I had a great experience!! The moment you walk into the home you notice the beautiful Mountain View! We didn’t realize how beautiful the location was and the view was amazing. The house was very clean and spacious, more than enough room for a large family. The family really loved staying there.

About the host

Hosted by Mitch Lathem

Host profile image
I'm a happily married father, local real estate broker, nature and wildlife photographer, volunteer soccer coach, world traveler, outdoor enthusiast, adventure junkie, working for an international Christian missions organization.

I'm a native North Georgian. Born, raised, and currently living in Gainesville, just 20 minutes south of Dahlonega. My wife, Monya, and I met at Young Harris College in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and then hung around Athens for a few years to earn our degrees from the University of Georgia. It was love at first sight. It just took her a few years to realize it. We got married in the fall of 2007 at Big Canoe, yep you guessed it... in the mountains. She went on to get her master's from Brenau University and is an elementary school teacher. She thinks she's smarter than me, she's probably right. She's certainly better looking.

Our team consists of our daughter, Adri (9), and our son, Adler (6). I always tell everyone, "we've done our part and created our replacements". She's compliant and contemplative, like her mother, and he's our little strong-willed explorer, just like his old man. We have the most gentle and loving Great Dane Lab mix named Sophie, a temperamental self absorbed cat named Coal, and a spastic rescue squirrel named Lucky.

My hair is quickly turning gray. It started at 17. I like to think of it as my pre-mature crown of glory. It's probably just hereditary. And yes, I was born with a beard.
