About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Right on the ChattahoocheeRiver - visit Helen, fish off deck, or enjoy fire pit.

Piece of Paradise
Rocky River has 36 feet of sliding glass doors all facing this beautiful and private part of the Chattahoochee River. A lovely bridge crosses a stream that continues on into the "Hooch"where you can stand and fish or watch the kayakers and wild life float by.
A wrap around deck is covered on the river side, so you can sit at one of the bistro tables and enjoy this tranquil view while a lovely stream sings in the background.
The house is uniquely designed with 2 main level bedrooms with a full bath and a huge loft bedroom with its own full bath.
The game room has 2 large sliding glass doors that overlook the picnic area and river. It has a bar, high top tables with stools and a kitchenette that made this area practical and fun. Just outside is a charcoal grill and picnic table. A few steps down to the river is a fire pit and several comfortable Adirondack chairs.
The fishing is excellent: bass, brim, catfish, and the occasional trout. If you enjoy kayaking and tubing, this is a perfect location to paddle or float about. Also, Wildwood Outfitters is 5 miles up river, so you can enjoy trekking down the river and exiting right on the property.
There are many amenities: 2 flat screen TVs -two 50 inch, Wi-Fi, land line telephone, game room, poker table and chips if requested, board games, washer/dryer, dishwasher and a ramp for grandmother.

Game room: air hockey, foosball table, checkers, cards, poker chips and layout poker table topper, corn husk toss, board games, television and a kitchenette.

The property is centrally located. Helen, Clarkesville, Cleveland, and Dahlonega are a short drive away. The area is rich with attractions like wineries, hiking trails, water falls, fine dining, fishing, kayaking, tubing, antiquing, flea markets, Cabbage Patch Dolls, gold and gemstone panning, zip lining, horseback riding, train rides, go-carts, etc. There is always something to do.

Perfect place to Shelter in Place. Private riverside home with lots to do. We clean with antivirals from top to bottom and air out each time. Safe, private and fun.
Should a renter wish to exceed the 6 person capacity, there is an additional charge of 25.00 per night per additional person. We have 2 single blow up mattresses with sheets, pillows and blankets upon request. Even with this, there is an 8 person maximum and only with permission from the owner.

Sorry, no pets.

Firewood is provided for your convenience; however, we ask for a reasonable donation based on the amount you use. Firewood is expensive here, too.

(We do not recommend this property for families with infants and toddlers as there is a loft and a daylight basement. Too many stairs for the little ones.)

We get you started with tissue, Kleenex, dish detergent, fabric softener sheets, laundry soap, paper towels, and trash bags. For extended stays, longer than 3 days, you will need to bring more of these things.
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of the helpful staff at this vacation home. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Chattahoochee River. Features include laundry facilities and an arcade/game room. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the vacation home.

The home is well equipped. We were there for Thanksgiving and the kitchen had plenty of accessories that one would need when making a full dinner. It was impressive. The views were beautiful sitting out in the afternoon with a glass of wine listening to the river was amazing because everything else was so quiet! The hosts were wonderful. They had a book we found very helpful that had nearby attractions. The game room was awesome. The home was clean. We would definitely stay again!

We were so grateful to have family time together at this beautiful home! Cooked most of our meals in the well equipped kitchen, and the huge windows let us enjoy the gorgeous surroundings. We were near Tallulah Gorge, Helen, and other waterfall areas. Family emergency caused an early departure, so we did not utilize the fire pits, grill or games in the lower room, but had enough days and nights to get some much needed rest and fellowship time. Other than a mysterious lack of waste baskets and smaller teaspoons, this home provided for all our needs. Great communication with the property manager/owner before arrival, and had zero issues so did not need to talk to them during our stay.Thank you for making your home available for our trip!

Loved our stay! Central to everything we wanted to see. Extremely well stocked kitchen. Lots of games. Sheets smelled so nice. Very hot water and great water pressure. Our favorite was sitting on the back porch! Great communication with owners. Wifi was awesome as was cable TV. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a large and comfortable vacation stay near Helen. I have nothing negative to say. This is up in the the top 10 homeowner rental properties I have utilized. 5 stars!

The location is great, close to restaurants and activities. Beds are super comfy. The view of the river is spectacular, but we felt the river access was overstated. It was very muddy.There was some offensive reading material on the bookshelves (Liberal F*csism). We felt the water smelled less artisanal and more like it could benefit from a whole-house filtration system. The basement shower was just a trickle and therefore unusable for showers. Also, the firewood was wet and unusable - maybe cover it with a tarp or something.

We had the best time! Everything we needed to live in this awesome river retreat was on hand from kitchen appliances, glassware, fluffy towels, comfortable beds and board games! The river view was beautiful and there are abundant opportunities for fun in the water. We brought our own tubes and a blow up kayak. We did enjoy some nearby attractions - hiked to a local waterfall, tubing in Helen and the Georgia Mountain Coaster. It was a wonderful long weekend away from home.

Charming Stay in the River

Such a charming stay on the river! We swam and fished in the river each day…if you have some rope and a big rock, you can tie up and just chill in your tube! To be fair, the adirondeck chairs pictured in the main photo aren’t there so that was a slight disappointment…but the rest was A. Plenty of games and room, love the fireflies at night. We even had a baby and Mommy deer outside our window one evening! Such a fun stay in a beautiful neighborhood. Thanks for having us!

Home away from home

This property was amazing!! The location is great; far enough from the city but still close enough to have things to do if you want to get out of the house. The downstairs area has so many fun games for a calm night in, and upstairs they have some great movies! The owners truly thought of everything with this property! We traveled with a baby and they had a great pack and play, high chair, and stroller! The kitchen is fully equipped with all you could ever think of. We travel to this area frequently and I think we found a new go-to place to stay! The owners are also super kind and helpful if you have any questions!
