About this house rental
Finally, you have that time away, and you are looking to relax sitting on a porch listening to the river flow by and having a cup of coffee. Perhaps you are seeking the wonderful fresh smells of the mountains? Sit on the porch with friends and a glass of our local wine. Sink into the relaxing spa tub, located on the lower balcony, after a day of hiking or shopping!
At River's Rest you have all the conveniences of home with plenty of living room seating, a gas log fireplace and a television on the mantel. The kitchen boasts of full size appliances, including a dishwasher. Choose the standard 12-cup drip or the Keurig one-cup coffee maker. There is a washer and dryer for convenience. The dining area has chairs for six guests with more seating on the porch at the pine table with benches. The rocking chairs, glider settee and tables are an Amish wood design.
The master bedroom features a king bed and a private bath with a walk-in shower and a jetted garden tub. There is a corner wall-mounted television, too. The guest bedroom has a set of bunk beds with queen size mattresses on both top and bottom. The bunk room has a small television. The guest bathroom has a walk-in shower. With the sofa bed, this little gem will accommodate up to 8 people.
The upstairs porch has a hammock and two hanging egg swing chairs for relaxation.
A short walk puts you in the downtown area with many options for dining. The walk back to the property is a lovely path along the river. If you are planning all of these relaxing moments, then Rivers Rest is the place for you.
This is a pet-friendly cabin and a one-time per-pet fee will be added if you bring your dog. The pet fee that will be added to your reservation is $75 + tax. Only one dog weighing 70 lbs maximum is allowed.

The house was perfectly located to downtown Helen and right on the river. It was clean and had everything we needed. The host was very involved and made sure we were comfortable and offered suggestions if we needed them.

Reviewer Comments:
This is our fourth time staying at Rivers Rest, and we always love it. The property has everything we need, we love the hot tub and river across the street, and it's only a short walk to town. We will definitely be back next year! Thank you!

It was a walkable distance into Helen. The driveway was NOT motorcycle friendly. Although short, it was extremely steep and a bad angle.
