Discount July 24-27! Luxury River House, hot tub, kayaks, fire pit, dogs OK

You'll think you've died and gone to heaven! This luxury cabin known as 'White Rapids Retreat' is located on the Buck Shoals gorgeous wide stretch of the Chattahoochee River near Helen, and is anything but ordinary. Relax and sleep to the sounds of the rushing river rapids just 50 feet from the cabin and enjoy the panoramic open views of the river while soaking in the hot tub. Complimentary Kayaks are included so you can enjoy some river adventure!
This unique section of the river directly behind the cabin is your own private water amusement park: enjoy swimming, sunning and relaxing on the sandbar in the middle of the river, tubing / kayaking / rafting from behind the cabin, playing on the natural rock waterslides, and exploring the rock shoals of the river. The fishing is excellent behind the cabin for shoal bass, striped bass, catfish, and bream.
The kids will love exploring & playing on the property, like we used to do when we were kids(no phones or video games needed). Your stress will melt away as you catnap on the riverside screened porch. The screened porch overlooks the river and has satellite TV so Dad won't miss any of the football game. Flat Screen HD TV's with Directv receivers have Smart TV Roku built-in so you can log into your Netflix account and enjoys movies and wine by the living room stacked stone fireplace. Any gourmet chef would be delighted by the beautiful kitchen, gas grill outdoor kitchen unit on the deck, and charcoal grill down by the river.
The picnic table next to the river makes the perfect place for a Sunday afternoon cookout. Your kids will never forget the family nights spent around the riverside flagstone fire pit with Adirondack chairs telling ghost stories, catching fireflies, and roasting marshmallows. Drink a cherry Coke on the front porch swing and you'll feel like your back in Mayberry.
Nature lovers should keep an eye out for the wild deer and Canadian geese in the backyard while sipping your morning coffee. This property is very private and secluded on 5 acres of wooded property, and the opposite side of the river is part of a state park. Enjoy nature walks through the woods on the property, and walk up the creek on our property to a waterfall.
The interior of the cabin is beautifully decorated with rustic log furniture and antique motif. Whatever your age or interests, there is something for everyone at this extraordinary river cabin retreat.
Guests consistently remark that they have never seen a more breathtaking river view property as this one!!! This is the ultimate river cabin vacation experience!!! Pets are allowed at the rate of $20/night per pet and must be disclosed at the time of booking
If you have a large group and need extra bedrooms and beds, we own a sister property immediately next door, that is also on the river and also has a creek & waterfall behind it. Just goto the Stonewalls Retreat page by searching for VRBO property #2436376.

needs updating
We were first here in early 2023 and that visit was great. But our return visit this year was far from spectacular. First the ice maker wasn't working and on such 85 degree days it was much needed. The owner responded quickly and sent the cleaner over to fix,6 hrs later it still didn't work so the owner said go to a gas station miles away and buy a bag of ice.This was an inconvenience since we just came back from the supermarket. Next, we decided to do a load of laundry and discovered the washer didn't drain, leaving all our items soaking wet, we had to wring them out in the sink before putting in dryer. We wiped the floor in the kitchen and the paper towel came up filthy and black. The screen in the br was hanging off, the decking material was old and weathered and the hot tub was dirty. All in all the visit was ok. we understand its a mountain cabin and some of this is expected. The screened in porch is great and the proximity to river can't be beat. beware, the driveway is very steep and narrow.

Serene & off the beaten path
Home is as advertised! Complete serenity is here. Only natural sounds can be heard; just secadas & the Chattahoochee River located at the foot of the property. So appreciative of being able to bring my dog. Clean & pest free home in the middle of the woods. We strolled the property, enjoyed river views & relaxed in the hot tub.

Delightful Retreat at the "White Rapids Retreat"
We took my 90 year old mother-in-law on vacation to NE GA. I selected this property due to its location and being located on the bank of the Chattahoochee River. The "White Rapids Retreat" was a true serendipity. We couldn't get over how a delightful place this was. My husband and I usually camp in NE GA in our small 22 ft motorhome. This is the first time in many years that we have stayed somewhere other than a campground. What a delight this place is. The house is spectacular. The wood interior and the old-fashioned decorations were amazing. The master bedroom and the upstairs bedroom were very nice and comfortable. We liked being able to walk out on our own deck from our second-floor bedroom. My mother-in-law was in awe of her room, the master bedroom. We enjoyed sitting on the deck drinking our coffee each morning and looking out at the beautiful Chattahoochee River. The chairs next to the river were nice; and we used them daily in the afternoon after we returned from our daytrips. We met the owner Rob one afternoon, and he was very nice. I have nothing negative to say about the "White Rapids Retreat" as we loved it. we would love to go again. Thank you Rob.

Girls trip
We chose the location for a girls trip. The views of the water were exceptional. We wish there was easier water access, like a couple of steps in and out of the water but we managed just fine. The kitchen was stocked and worked well for all our meals. And we loved the proximity of Helen. A couple of things could have been better but all in all we enjoyed our stay.

Anniversary trip
Beautiful spot on the river, already booked it for next year! The house is very nice, no issues with cleaning; kitchen is well supplied and had all we needed. Great views of the river from all rooms, setting is amazing!! There were tubes available for playing in the river, but watch out for those slippery rocks! Some negatives but nothing to lower the rating of this place and owner - bring a bag of ice as Samsung fridges are notoriously slow ice producers. Towels were on the thin side, 1 star quality in a 4 star setting BUT understandable if there is a problem of them being taken outside. Screen porch is great, but has biggish spiderwebs in corners. Outside deck areas are really nice but understandably have tree debris- would be nice to have an outside broom/blower for guest to use. Hot tub setting is PERFECT for watching river activity but needs some TLC - has some wear and tear and hadn’t been cleaned from prior users, some jets not working. Under deck storage area a bit of a mess, tubes sitting full of rain water (mosquito breeding area!) maybe a rack to keep them organized and off the ground?

Wonderful, Private River House
My husband and I enjoyed a getaway at this property. The property had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was exceptionally clean and had indoor/outdoor games and outdoor activities (fire pit, floats, hot tub, horseshoes, etc.) for us to enjoy during our stay. The home and property felt very private and made for an enjoyable visit. we look forward to making a return trip in the future. This property was perfect for a couple, or a family to enjoy.

Total Serenity
The view is AMAZING. Private, off the beaten path but close to anything you’ll need. The cabin was furnished with everything you’ll need for your stay plus fun activities. The River was an adventure and you can walk up, down and across ( just mind your footing). Helen and Cornelia were short easy drives. One for tourism the other for necessities. The beds are comfortable. The cabin was spacious. The Cherry on top was the screened in porch which is where we spent most of our “inside” time watching tv which was minimal. Chairs riverside is where we were mostly when not in the river itself! The fireflies showed up nightly for a light show. Too many great things to say. Summary: PERFECTION ON THE CHATAHOOCHI

Amazing Get-Away
The only negative I have is that I wasn't able to stay longer. The cabin has everything you need. A primary on the main and another primary upstairs along with bunkbeds for 3. The cabin was spotless and stocked with anything you'd need to make amazing meals. The river is huge and kept the kids entertained all day long, hopping rocks, fishing, exploring and then chilling in the hot tub. The property is gorgeous, a huge firepit right next to the water, a hammock on one side and some hidden chairs on the other. It even has a little waterfall. My two dogs were in heaven. I can't wait to go back, it was truly perfect.

Beautiful place and view of the river. Well equipped was disappointed in the area under the porch. Was a total mess. Needs to have fans and out of reach areas dusted better. Recommend a floor lamp in dining area to see better when eating/playing cards. I would definitely consider coming back in the summer months to enjoy the river more thank u
