Right on the ChattahoocheeRiver - visit Helen, fish off deck, or enjoy fire pit.

Piece of Paradise
Rocky River has 36 feet of sliding glass doors all facing this beautiful and private part of the Chattahoochee River. A lovely bridge crosses a stream that continues on into the "Hooch"where you can stand and fish or watch the kayakers and wild life float by.
A wrap around deck is covered on the river side, so you can sit at one of the bistro tables and enjoy this tranquil view while a lovely stream sings in the background.
The house is uniquely designed with 2 main level bedrooms with a full bath and a huge loft bedroom with its own full bath.
The game room has 2 large sliding glass doors that overlook the picnic area and river. It has a bar, high top tables with stools and a kitchenette that made this area practical and fun. Just outside is a charcoal grill and picnic table. A few steps down to the river is a fire pit and several comfortable Adirondack chairs.
The fishing is excellent: bass, brim, catfish, and the occasional trout. If you enjoy kayaking and tubing, this is a perfect location to paddle or float about. Also, Wildwood Outfitters is 5 miles up river, so you can enjoy trekking down the river and exiting right on the property.
There are many amenities: 2 flat screen TVs -two 50 inch, Wi-Fi, land line telephone, game room, poker table and chips if requested, board games, washer/dryer, dishwasher and a ramp for grandmother.

Game room: air hockey, foosball table, checkers, cards, poker chips and layout poker table topper, corn husk toss, board games, television and a kitchenette.

The property is centrally located. Helen, Clarkesville, Cleveland, and Dahlonega are a short drive away. The area is rich with attractions like wineries, hiking trails, water falls, fine dining, fishing, kayaking, tubing, antiquing, flea markets, Cabbage Patch Dolls, gold and gemstone panning, zip lining, horseback riding, train rides, go-carts, etc. There is always something to do.

Perfect place to Shelter in Place. Private riverside home with lots to do. We clean with antivirals from top to bottom and air out each time. Safe, private and fun.
Should a renter wish to exceed the 6 person capacity, there is an additional charge of 25.00 per night per additional person. We have 2 single blow up mattresses with sheets, pillows and blankets upon request. Even with this, there is an 8 person maximum and only with permission from the owner.

Sorry, no pets.

Firewood is provided for your convenience; however, we ask for a reasonable donation based on the amount you use. Firewood is expensive here, too.

(We do not recommend this property for families with infants and toddlers as there is a loft and a daylight basement. Too many stairs for the little ones.)

We get you started with tissue, Kleenex, dish detergent, fabric softener sheets, laundry soap, paper towels, and trash bags. For extended stays, longer than 3 days, you will need to bring more of these things.

It’s was a wonderful place to stay. Wish it had not rained prior to us coming because the river was flowing so fast we couldn’t fish. But overall it was a great place to just relax.

Home away from home

This property was amazing!! The location is great; far enough from the city but still close enough to have things to do if you want to get out of the house. The downstairs area has so many fun games for a calm night in, and upstairs they have some great movies! The owners truly thought of everything with this property! We traveled with a baby and they had a great pack and play, high chair, and stroller! The kitchen is fully equipped with all you could ever think of. We travel to this area frequently and I think we found a new go-to place to stay! The owners are also super kind and helpful if you have any questions!
