Chattahoochee River House 2 - Say Hello to Neighbors at the Helen Festhalle!

Welcome to The Chattahoochee River House 2 (formerly Alpine Rushing River 2), 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.

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 with Gas fireplace 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.

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!

BONUS: Did you know this is a sister property to The Chattahoochee River House 1 and the properties are joined by a lock-off door! If both are available for your dates, they can be rented together to double your space for a larger group!

Communication and friendliness of property manager is amazing. The location is wonderful! The house was clean and fully stocked with everything you could need. Such a relaxing stay for a much needed reset. Will definitely be staying here again. It is all around a 10 out of 10! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Great location
Beautiful condo , the only downside was the cleaners did not do to good of a job. The couches had toys and stuff under the cushions and there was unwrapped candy in the floor my granddaughter got ahold of 10 months old . The kind bed could use a better mattress but it was very nice and quiet . We would rent again . Very well taken care of as far as the the decor and walls etc ,

The Perfect Place to Stay in Helen
Wonderfully kept condo for guests from its walking location to everything in Helen to the peacefully flowing river right outside the bedroom windows. Clean, nicely furnished with seasonal fall decorations and very comfortable furniture. A special thanks to the staff who found and sent us our Christmas book we left behind. Highly recommend.

Perfect location and property
This rental was fantastic. It was super clean and just as advertised. It was just our family of four but it was very spacious with lots of room to spread out. The screened porch and grill were such a nice addition. Great view of the river and within walking distance to everything we wanted to do. The rental company was very responsive when we called with questions and even called us to check in to see if we needed anything. The kitchen is big with lots of counter space but only equipped with very basic supplies/utensils. If you’re staying for several days Or like to cook in, I’d suggest bringing your own spices (there was only salt and pepper) and any other kitchen staples you can’t live without. We were only there two nights so this was no big deal. Thanks so much for such a great stay.
