On the Chattahoochee River-Walk to Downtown Alpine Helen

Located right on the historic Chattahoochee River, just three blocks from downtown Helen, this newly remodeled property offers lots of outdoor lounging areas. The Retreat is just a few blocks from downtown Helen, but away from the congestion. The location is a quiet residential neighborhood. Be respectful and aware that there are full time residents living in the area. No loud parties, fireworks or street burnouts. Featuring an open floor plan, high ceilings and a large deck overlooking the river, it's a perfect place for a large family gathering or a get away for three or four couples. Right next door we also have the two bedroom Helen Riverside Cabin, VRBO property #267883. If you have a really big family group, rent both and be side by side! There is a covered, screened sitting area, fire pit, horseshoe pitch, eight person outdoor dining table and more. There is a handicap ramp and the downstairs bathroom is handicapped equipped. The kitchen is fully equipped, there is a TV in each bedroom and a 50" flat screen TV in the living room. The maximum number of guests is eight adults. There is an extra full size bed, suitable for two additional children. The parking area is limited to a maximum of five vehicles. This includes cars, trucks, trailers and motorcycles. No more than five of these vehicles are allowed at one time. No pets. No smoking or vaping inside the house.

AMAZING location. We had an issue with plumbing our first day, but the host was quick to fix it and we never had another issue again. Loved the place for our family needs (which included someone in a wheelchair). The rooms all had plenty of space and the large dining area was great for us to play games while it was cold and raining. This was within walking distance to many great places and the river in the back yard was beautiful.
