A River Runs Thru It - Elegant Riverfront Cabin on the Chattahoochee River

Guests will truly enjoy this beautiful home while listening to the sounds of the river running by from the covered-deck which is directly above the river. A fisherman's paradise, 150 yards of trout river frontage, catch your limit on the beautiful clear waters of the fast-flowing Chattahoochee River.

This spacious level property is bordered by the Chattahoochee Wildlife Management Preserve. There is something for everyone: fishing, hiking, river tubing, biking, picnicking, horseback riding, or just relaxing by the outdoor fire pit and picnic area. The perfect spot for rest and relaxation. It is located close to nature and the headwaters of the upper Chattahoochee River.

This lodge home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and is only three miles from the vibrant center of Helen, GA. It is the perfect vacation home for couples and families. A River Runs Thru It is beautifully constructed, featuring high ceilings, a two-story river rock fireplace, knotty pine paneling throughout, and a well-equipped kitchen with high end stainless appliances.

This property boasts two decks directly overlooking the clear running waters of the Chattahoochee River and exquisite lodge furnishings. The spacious loft master suite features a lovely log king bed and overlooks the two-story great room.

This beautiful home is located just minutes from the shopping and dining of the delightful alpine village of Helen, GA and a short drive to the spectacular Anna Ruby Falls, Dukes Creek Falls, Smithgall Woods Center, and Unicoi State Park.

Great Mini Vacation
We really enjoyed our time at A River Runs Through It. We spent most of our time at the house just enjoying the peace and quiet by the river.

Great getaway
Absolutely loved the location of this home. However, we had no cell service and WiFi went out for half of our stay. Was ok since we were trying to unplug. Dining table is upstairs which was a little odd and master bedroom had no privacy as it is located in the open loft upstairs. Again no problem for us since it was a sisters trip. The river was amazing and location was perfect. Communication was exceptional.

Three boys and a River
Our boys loved the property! Close proximity to zip lines, rock climbing, waterfalls, Helen town center, not to mention water front private river access for splashing, rock skipping, floating, and Cairn building. House is well planned overall and kitchen and bathroom facilities were up to date. I would suggest owner invest in new laundry facilities, not efficient or quiet. The previous reviews mentioning a ‘lack of general cleanliness’ and ‘chipped dishes’ are consistent with my findings. The owner should replace the dishes…they have been loved and show significant signs of stress; ceramic dishes will crack after continued washing in dishwashers. Housekeeping needs to address cobwebs, greasy fingerprints on cabinets, and dirty hardwood floors…all give the property an icky feeling. As a hardwood floor homeowner myself, I recognize after a long weekend of river tubing and high foot traffic the floors will need serious attention. Bathroom linens were clean and abundant, but white…why white? It’s a riverfront cabin with very little white in the decor. My biggest complaint to go on record is the kitchen dish towel…one is provided. Bring your own from home if you plan to dry anything. High priced for location…needs better care, more comfy outdoor seating options on both decks, and offer a few more “everyday luxuries”…like two dish towels. 😊
