May 17-19 Discount! Luxury River House, hot tub, kayaks, fire pit, dogs OK

You'll think you've died and gone to heaven! This luxury cabin known as 'White Rapids Retreat' is located on the Buck Shoals gorgeous wide stretch of the Chattahoochee River near Helen, and is anything but ordinary. Relax and sleep to the sounds of the rushing river rapids just 50 feet from the cabin and enjoy the panoramic open views of the river while soaking in the hot tub. Complimentary Kayaks are included so you can enjoy some river adventure!
This unique section of the river directly behind the cabin is your own private water amusement park: enjoy swimming, sunning and relaxing on the sandbar in the middle of the river, tubing / kayaking / rafting from behind the cabin, playing on the natural rock waterslides, and exploring the rock shoals of the river. The fishing is excellent behind the cabin for shoal bass, striped bass, catfish, and bream.
The kids will love exploring & playing on the property, like we used to do when we were kids(no phones or video games needed). Your stress will melt away as you catnap on the riverside screened porch. The screened porch overlooks the river and has satellite TV so Dad won't miss any of the football game. Flat Screen HD TV's with Directv receivers have Smart TV Roku built-in so you can log into your Netflix account and enjoys movies and wine by the living room stacked stone fireplace. Any gourmet chef would be delighted by the beautiful kitchen, gas grill outdoor kitchen unit on the deck, and charcoal grill down by the river.
The picnic table next to the river makes the perfect place for a Sunday afternoon cookout. Your kids will never forget the family nights spent around the riverside flagstone fire pit with Adirondack chairs telling ghost stories, catching fireflies, and roasting marshmallows. Drink a cherry Coke on the front porch swing and you'll feel like your back in Mayberry.
Nature lovers should keep an eye out for the wild deer and Canadian geese in the backyard while sipping your morning coffee. This property is very private and secluded on 5 acres of wooded property, and the opposite side of the river is part of a state park. Enjoy nature walks through the woods on the property, and walk up the creek on our property to a waterfall.
The interior of the cabin is beautifully decorated with rustic log furniture and antique motif. Whatever your age or interests, there is something for everyone at this extraordinary river cabin retreat.
Guests consistently remark that they have never seen a more breathtaking river view property as this one!!! This is the ultimate river cabin vacation experience!!! Pets are allowed at the rate of $20/night per pet and must be disclosed at the time of booking
If you have a large group and need extra bedrooms and beds, we own a sister property immediately next door, that is also on the river and also has a creek & waterfall behind it. Just goto the Stonewalls Retreat page by searching for VRBO property #2436376.

The view is AMAZING. Private, off the beaten path but close to anything you’ll need. The cabin was furnished with everything you’ll need for your stay plus fun activities. The River was an adventure and you can walk up, down and across ( just mind your footing). Helen and Cornelia were short easy drives. One for tourism the other for necessities. The beds are comfortable. The cabin was spacious. The Cherry on top was the screened in porch which is where we spent most of our “inside” time watching tv which was minimal. Chairs riverside is where we were mostly when not in the river itself! The fireflies showed up nightly for a light show. Too many great things to say. Summary: PERFECTION ON THE CHATAHOOCHI

We had a perfect quiet weekend in between a wedding in Cleveland. My family and I enjoyed every minute of our time along the banks of the river. The house was very well equipped and was very nostalgic. Good memories were made and many were remembered. Thank you for sharing your home!

Amazing Get-Away
The only negative I have is that I wasn't able to stay longer. The cabin has everything you need. A primary on the main and another primary upstairs along with bunkbeds for 3. The cabin was spotless and stocked with anything you'd need to make amazing meals. The river is huge and kept the kids entertained all day long, hopping rocks, fishing, exploring and then chilling in the hot tub. The property is gorgeous, a huge firepit right next to the water, a hammock on one side and some hidden chairs on the other. It even has a little waterfall. My two dogs were in heaven. I can't wait to go back, it was truly perfect.

Beautiful place and view of the river. Well equipped was disappointed in the area under the porch. Was a total mess. Needs to have fans and out of reach areas dusted better. Recommend a floor lamp in dining area to see better when eating/playing cards. I would definitely consider coming back in the summer months to enjoy the river more thank u

Relaxing Weekend Getaway
Property was clean and in good condition when we arrived. Everything was as pictured in the listing. Loved having the sound of the river throughout our stay. Bed was super comfortable and the view of the river when waking up was very nice. We used the hot tub and grill and everything was great. Would suggest more comfortable porch furniture but we added pillows and enjoyed board games and reading during the day which was lovely.

Both of my boys kept saying “this is amazing” throughout our stay. We all loved the design of the cabin, the beautiful scenery, the peaceful river ambiance, the comfort of the soothing hot tub & our crackling fires, & just the overall feel of the space. We enjoyed ourselves immensely & will be back.

Backyard steals the show
This cabin is located in an excellent spot - tucked in the woods, but delicious restaurants and shopping are not far away. The river is everything, and there are many places to sit out back to enjoy it. We're working on a plan to return in the summer so we can get into the river. The owner was quick and generous to correct an unusual error that occurred. His response went above and beyond ensuring we had a nice stay.

Spectacular river views
Spectacular property located on Chattahoochee river near Demorest Georgia about 20 minutes away from Helen Georgia. My family and I got lucky this weekend with the leaves on the trees, changing to the beautiful Fall colors. The weather was warm enough that we could play the dogs in the river and jump from rock to rock skipping rocks and having a great time. Such a great family property. The house itself is very spacious clean up-to-date yet still has a cabin feel to it would highly recommend this property.

Riverside Getaway
Absolutely gorgeous cabin directly on the river- loved it! WIFI was good. Beds were comfortable. Cabin was extremely clean and smelled good. Only used living room TV and it worked great. Microwave and dishwasher work. We did not cook. Bathrooms were spacious and beautiful. The covered screened in back porch was our favorite spot. The sound and sight of the river was mesmerizing. Host is not kidding about the GPS- it will LIE to you and try to get you to drive across people’s backyards. Do not fall for the lies! Roads to property consist of dirt and gravel but we had no issues. Driveway is steep but is concrete. Plenty of space to park. I tried to contact the property owner about a few minor issues not worth mentioning in a review but the messaging system did not seem to be working. My message failed to send. There is a small one cup at a time Kuerig coffee maker that works just fine as well as a regular coffee maker which we did not use. We have been coming to the area annually for our anniversary for nearly a decade and this was definitely one of the best places. Our first time staying on a river and I am hooked! Almost forgot to discuss privacy. There are 2 cabins sort of within view from the front yard but the back deck, where you will spend most of your time, is extremely private. It is elevated above the bank enough that people walking in the river are not going to be peering in at you. There are cabins across the river but I could not see them.
