River Life Is Wonderful
This was my second stay at River Life on the Chattahooche, and I was thrilled to find it still available when planning my trip to Helen. I love how conveniently close it is to downtown, and the area feels very safe. It was also reassuring to see that it’s still owned by the same people as it was four years ago. The location truly couldn’t be better, and the property is exceptionally clean. One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the screened-in back porch by the river every evening after dinner. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout. River Life will always be my go-to place to stay whenever I visit Helen.

The best vacation!!!
We enjoyed our vacation so much and this amazing condo was perfect for our group of 3! The location was perfect, close to everything but just outside the hustle and bustle of the downtown crowd. The host was very responsive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We are very much looking forward to visiting again in the summer and tubing!

Beautiful condo
The place is perfect. Great location, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The only thing that went wrong is the fireplace seemed to be out of gas and wouldn’t light. We are from Florida so that would have been nice when the temps dipped under 40. But that was minor everything else is say was a10.

Great way to kick off Fall-at a GREAT VRBO
Everything was perfect. This place is updated, clean and welcoming. I cooked while there and it was laid out logically and had everything I needed. Coffee on the back deck is a must, the river rolling by along with the high chairs provided a great view of nature as we were welcoming Fall. Great Master bed and slept better than we do at home. All the little decor touches are charming and not overwhelming. High recommend if going to FestHall-it's so close!

My family and I loved this property!
My family and I loved this property! It's 150 yards from the Helen Festhalle, where the "Official Oktoberfest" is held, and 20 yards from the river. The Festhalle is full of beer, and the river is full of fish! My wife and daughters enjoyed the short walk to everything Helen offered. Christoff’s is right around the corner, and it was a hidden jewel. The house was spotless, nicely furnished, and had everything we needed. The River behind the condo was full of Brown trout and was great for casting. It's the perfect place to explore everything Helen has to offer. The hosts were great and quick to reply to any messages I sent them, and they were very good and kind people. I highly recommend this property and will be going back.
