About this apartment rental

Welcome to The Chattahoochee River House 1, situated on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. Relax in the peaceful screened porch with new furniture while overlooking the sights and sounds of the river cascading over the rocks. It is perfectly located for convenient access to everything Downtown Helen offers with the added bonus of being nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains! You may want to take a refreshing dip in the river; go next door to the Helen Festhalle for bingo and dancing; cross the street for miniature golf; head up to Main St. for a horse-drawn carriage ride and shopping; take a hike on one of the many trails close by; or take a drive through the beautiful North Georgia Mountains.

This Luxurious Condo was recently updated with New Décor and Furnishings throughout that highlight the River~Mountain Motif. The Chattahoochee River House 1 is the downstairs condo and features Amazing River views throughout from the many Windows and Balconies! The Welcoming Screened Porch opens into the large main living area that includes a well-equipped Kitchen with Granite Counters, Stainless Steel appliances and more, plus plenty of seating around the table in case you decide to eat in instead of sampling the many delicious restaurants around town! There are both a standard drip coffee maker and a Keurig for your convenience. The comfortable Living Room has been updated with 2 New Sofas, New Rug, Custom made Tables from a local craftsman and is the perfect setting to Enjoy a Movie on the TV with Roku streaming. The gas fireplace is temporarily out of service while we wait for ordered parts.

The main bedroom also features a New king bed, a Roku streaming TV, a gas fireplace, and a private bath with jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and a double vanity. The second bedroom has a queen bed, a Roku streaming TV, and a private bath with jacuzzi tub/shower combo. Both bedrooms have New Bedding and for additional guests, there is a Queen sleeper sofa for two in the living room with access to the hallway half bathroom!

Some of our Favorite things to do in the area around Helen…Hike the 6 mile round trip Unicoi Park trail that starts in Helen to Unicoi Lodge and back; have lunch or dinner at LaPrade’s Marina overlooking Lake Burton; relax on the Patio with a glass of wine while listening to live music at Yonah Mountain Winery; Hike the 2 mile round trip trails at Hemlock Falls or Angel Falls for a beautiful Waterfall view; walk around the cute stores of Sautee Nacoochee village; eat a Balboa sandwich (add jalapenos) at Bigg Daddy’s in Helen or get the Fried Banana Pepper rings at Clyde’s in Cleveland! There is so much more as well, let us know what your favorite activity is! If you have stayed here before (formerly Alpine River Rushing 1), we think you will really enjoy all the updates made by the new owners!
