About this property

Delightful 4-bedroom cottage with AC and Fiber WiFi on the River! Hot tub!

Large Screened-In Porch, River Views, and Easy Walk to Water's Edge!!
Sleeps 10-14! Grab the whole family (or 2 families) and come relax on nearly 3 acres at River Dusk – overlooking the shores of the beautiful Chattahoochee River! Wake up and enjoy your breakfast on our large screened in porch with seating for the whole family. Listen to the calming sounds of the whitewater rapids and wave to the kayakers/tubers/rafters passing downstream.
This cozy cottage has all the comforts of home including WiFi! The master with its king-sized bed, has a large Smart TV and its own 1/2 bathroom. Both of the other bedrooms contain bunk beds - 3 of which are full sized - as well as a full-sized trundle bed. The basement offers a private oasis with another king bed, large television and a full bath. Additionally, this studio style space houses a jackknife sofa bed with yet another large Roku TV for guests to enjoy.

Family dinners can be prepared in the fully equipped kitchen, and there is plenty of room to store your food or other necessities. Feed the whole gang at the farmhouse style kitchen table and bar area that can seat 8-10 people.

Adventure seekers will be thrilled that this property’s river access is located on Section 3 of the “Hooch” (the Whitewater Section featuring 3 Class II rapids and home to Buck Shoals State Park). This Upper Chattahoochee section is considered the most sought-after area. Guests can launch their kayak/canoe, drop in a tube/raft, fish for Bass, or just dig their feet into the sand on our “mini beach” and watch all the action. The night time will invite you to roast marshmallows in the large firepit as you sing your favorite childhood campfire songs.

We are 10 minutes away, but available on the phone via call/text/email anytime!

Enjoy family time in the cozy living room with yet another Smart TV (with access to internet), a Play Station 3, and a beautiful fireplace flanked by 2 large book cases full of books for all ages.

Additional activities for all ages can be found within 5-20 minutes including all that the city of Helen has to offer, white water rafting, Anna Ruby Falls, the new Georgia Mountain Coaster, biking, hiking, shopping, dining, golfing, museums, multiple vineyards/wineries with tours and wine tasting to name a few. There is definitely something for everyone!

Great riverfront property

This place was perfect for our family of all different ages. Sitting down by the river and enjoying s’mores was fun and relaxing for everyone. The house has plenty of space and a great patio facing the river where our family could enjoy all of our meals.

Perfect location

We were celebrating my sons 2nd bday with family. We loved being on the water and having a fire pit for roasting s’mores. The screened in porch was perfect for eating every meal. The location was ideal for a short day trip to Helen and then driving around to all the interesting places nearby.

Wedding retreat

We stayed at the cabin as it was close to the wedding venue we were going to and it was a nice quiet retreat from the wedding hoopla. The bedding was comfortable and everything was clean. The kitchen was well stocked and it is just as the pictures and description as seen on VRBO. A liitle far down the country road, but very peaceful and beautiful. Hope to stay again sometime.

Pics don’t do justice to the beauty!

Loved the property! Owner has maximized space in the house! The sound of the river immediately relaxes you and I cannot even describe how amazing the view is! Owner has provided everything a family would need to enjoy their stay! We will definitely be back! This was our first Christmas after losing my dad to Covid and I can’t imagine a better way to spend our Christmas

Family Vacation

We always pick a house on a creek or river in the GA mountains for family vacation in July. The grandkids love to tube and fish. The river here was BIG! And full of rocks for them to play on and float to for resting. The house was just as pictured and perfect for us. Even though it rained one night and the river was too high for play a couple of days, the area was full of hiking trails and waterfalls so all was good! The house is a great base between Helen, Cleveland, and Cornelia. Ryan was always available for questions and ready to help. Everyone enjoyed our 2021 trip to the mountains!

River Dusk

My family(4 adults, 1-7 y/o) loved the house/property! Very peaceful and relaxing. The view of the Chattahoochee from the house was amazing as well as the sounds of the flowing river. Fishing from the spot was a little difficult due to rocks but maybe better for the more experienced fisherman. The trees provided a lot of shade which was welcomed on the very sunny days. The house is well maintained and the listing was very accurate to what it supplied. The beds are very comfortable. There is a nearby trailhead(short walk) that leads to the “beach” where a slow portion of the river can be found that kids can play and swim in. Overall, very good experience and would definitely reserve again.

New listing and fabulous

Stayed here over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the home and property. The river access is fantastic. Bring your river tubes or rent a couple of kayaks from an outfitter right down the road. This home is ideal for a family getaway. Fish, swim, relax in this peaceful setting. The home is easy to get to and the host is super kind and responsive. The house was spotless and we felt at home the moment we got there. Outdoor grilling, outdoor covered porch for meals while over looking the river and a cool fire pit located Riverside. The house sits on a hill but the steps leading down are not difficult and it's easy to traverse with a cooler and tube. The property sits along a portion of the Chattahoochee called bucks shoal. The water runs swiftly but can still be played in! We waded over to the river shoal area and fished and laid out and watched the occasional kayak drift by. All in all an excellent stay.

Great location, clean

Our group of 13 had lots of space. The sounds of the river, lots of birds, wonderful breeze on the porch that faces the river were enjoyed by all. Most of our group could enjoy the river in the tubes supplied by Ryan (our host) who answered all questions quickly. Older folks like myself had a few challenges, but I had support by my beautiful Family. Thanks so much Ryan, what a wonderful property

GREAT!

We loved staying at River Dusk! It was the perfect river getaway. One member of our group has mobility challenges, and the house was easily accessible for him. The screend porch was a plus! There is a swing set on the top of the hill in the front yard that the kids really enjoyed. There was also a very good gate for the stairway that kept our younger ones safe. Overall it was a great place to stay. No negatives. Only positives and plenty of them!!
