River Cottage Chattahoochee offers a fully furnished escape into nature only minutes away from Helen, Cleveland and Gainesville Georgia. The cottage features a rustic charm with modern comforts. Guests enjoy the kitchen fully equipped with everything you need to cook dinner in - silverware, dishes, cookware, kitchen linens, air frier, Kitchenade mixer, and a Pampered Chef cooking blender. Stainless steel appliances in the kitchen include all the basics plus a drink cooler to ensure you have plenty of beverages ready for guests to enjoy as they relax at the river.
The front screened porch runs the length of the cabin offering river views and the opportunity watch deer as they roam on the two acres included with your rental. Comfortable seating for five is available on the porch in addition to seating for six at the table.
Inside enjoy leather sofas as you relax in the rustic ambiance of heart pine floors and open beam ceilings. The downstairs features a 1 1/2 jack-and-Jill bathroom and two bedrooms. Each bedroom includes a queen size bed and comfortable chair for relaxing.

Some of the best parts of the river cottage are visible after you go outside. A rock patio sits at the edge of the river and is begging for you to relax as the water flows by. For anyone wanting to take a swim or gain easy access for kayaking, shared rock steps lead provide easy access into the river. There is a fire pit in the woods so you can enjoy the evening under the stars. Deer frequently roam the property and two river otters call the area near the stairs home.

No pets. The owner is renting their weekend home while it is not in use and has allergies that prevent allowing pets.
For security, there are cameras on the exterior of the unit. Cameras are located on the exterior of the unit only. Tenants are granted access to the video feed for the duration of their stay.
No smoking or vaping on the property (indoors or outdoors). Failure to comply with this policy will result in a $500 cleaning fee and immediate termination of the lease agreement.
Parking is available for two cars. Please do not park to the rear of the cottage (even through there is gravel here, this is on top of the septic tank and could cause damage).
Maximum overnight occupancy of the cottage is 3 people. This is due to limitations of the septic system and a measure implemented to protect the river environment impact from a septic failure from overuse.
