The house was perfectly set on the river. It was much bigger on the inside than it looked from the outside. I was traveling with 4 other ladies and we all had plenty of space. The kitchen is great. The hot tub was enjoyed and the area under the house is truly set up for a family reunion. The den area was comfortable and the fact that you could walk to town was a huge plus. Would recommend for friend or family groups.

Spring Break Trip with Family

Perfect place to stay for a big family trip. You have the privacy you don’t get at the hotels in the surroundings area. It’s within walking distance from the downtown area. My family raved about the whole experience 10 out of 10.

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at River Haus. We had family from 3 years to 73 and everyone agreed it was one of our favorite vacations. The location, walkabilty to downtown, and the proximity to the river made it a perfect spot for us. The house is amazing and had everything we needed. Wonderful trip!

Long weekend in Helen

This house is an excellent option for a group of 6-8 people. House is like a huge log cabin with an amazing outdoor area to enjoy. You can sit on the porch and watch the tubers go by. Easy walk to downtown (10-15 minutes). We had one question about the hot tub and heard back immediately. Thanks for a great stay- we will definitely be back!!

This cabin is also located on the river with access right outside the back door. We enjoyed this place so much that we didn't want to leave!
