The sound of the river was so calming and the hot tub made it better. I watched the kids hopping along the rocks while enjoying my coffee. Gorgeous views!! The house also had everything we needed to make a Thanksgiving feast. The only thing that stressed me out was that driveway. My car barely made it up the hill and sustained some damage. I would return but with a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Highly recommend. ##### Lisa D.

The driveway is extremely steep so be aware with the vehicle youre bringing. Cabin in itself had all the basic needs and enjoyed being so close to the river.

The river was gorgeous and was the highlight of our trip. We caught some small bass and sunfish. It was nice to be able to bring the dogs and they enjoyed being in the gated porch with us. Driveway was a little scary and steep, but that's common in these areas and knew about it ahead of time. ##### Kira L.

We love the view, the convenience to the river, & the space provided. Everything is fantastic. Granted, we would love another chair or perhaps love seat for family time. In all honesty, the drive needs some attention as time & weather has taken its toll. Will definitely take return! ##### Laura K. ### 4/10 Poor #### Jackie J. Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mold The view and location was amazing. Very steep driveway. The cabin was nice. The only problem is m allergic to mold and suffer from chronic migraines. The minute ee opened the door the mold smell hit you in the face. I was up all night sick from the smell triggering my headaches. Called property management and told them we were checking out due to the mold smell . They quickly did a refund for part of our trip. That about sums it up. ##### Jackie J. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Tina W.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is surrounded by nature, providing a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It is minimally decorated. Pet-friendly with a reasonable fee for pets. Kids and dog loved playing at the water. It was unfortunate the hot tub didn't work. We were very much looking forward to that. But it happens. The cabin definitely needs more seating in the living room area. Also outside on the deck. A swing or rockers would be nice. The grill was on the small side. It works, though. Now that driveway! HOLY MOLY that thing is an adventure on its own! AWD/4WD is definitely preferred for this driveway! We had a friend that lives up there visit for a few hours and he brought his 4WD truck. Even he said that was no way they would have gotten up that driveway in his other vehicle. There is a flat area to park up towards the top, but its still... scary. ##### Tina W.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect ! The location was perfect ! Other than the scenic beauty of the river flowing ( the sounds of the rushing water were mesmerizing) the fireplace in the living room was our favorite part. The hot tub was huge !!!! They even had a box fan tucked away in a closet for use , which I loved !!! We would definitely stay her again if we were to revisit the area :) The one and only thing I would recommend to GA mountain rentals is to maybe get a rug for the inside and outside of the entrance door. It was pouring down rain on us when we arrived and it was virtually impossible to not track mud & water inside, which made a huge mess. I think a rug both in/out would have helped with the mess. We mopped up after ourselves to not leave such a muddy mess! Happy traveling !! Oh ... I also had trouble getting the lock to unlock so I called after hours for help and the gentleman was quick to offer to come down to the property and help us get in the house .. we finally got it open so there was no need but it was great customer service ! ##### Brandi A.

Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed at Chattahoochee Shoals, booked through Georgia Mountain Rentals, for a small getaway. As a disabled veteran with a service animal and another 2 dogs, I found the booking process very accommodating and the staff extremely helpful.Pros: •The place is very nice, clean, and nestled next to the Chattahoochee River. •The house is surrounded by nature, providing a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. •Easy access to nearby towns and attractions, with Walmart just 12 minutes away and Helen, GA, about 25 minutes away. •Comfortable beds and great water pressure in the shower. •The house is well-decorated in a minimalist style, making it feel cozy and uncluttered. •Pet-friendly with a reasonable fee for pets. They even provide pet bowls (for smaller pets) and plenty of towels marked “doggie.”Cons: •Arrival Night: Do not arrive at night! The GPS only gets you so far, and the last part of the journey is pitch dark. You’ll need to follow specific directions to navigate the gravel driveway that turns into concrete. There’s a right turn marked by a sign on a tree; missing this turn leads to a very steep hill. Trust me, going up is better than going down! •Bugs: Forget about enjoying the deck at night due to the bugs. It’s best to return home before sundown. •Free-Roaming Dogs: People let their dogs roam free without leashes. One of my dogs is aggressive towards other dogs, and a large dog approached us causing a bit of panic, leading to a fall down the steep hill. Luckily, no severe injuries. Despite these challenges, the rest of our trip was uneventful and enjoyable. The property itself is beautiful, with easy access to the river. There are steps or a side path to get down to the river, where there’s a great spot for dogs (and humans) to enjoy the water. My dog loved it!Overall ##### William K R.

Oct 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy PERFECT place to stay! Our family of 4 had so much fun. The cabin was great! Spacious, clean, quiet. We never saw another person. There is a cabin next door, but no renters at the time. The cabin has everything you need. Cell service is low, but the cabin has wifi. Smart TV’s were great for the kids. Hot tub was amazing! (The breaker to turn on is behind the red fencing) The river was so much fun! The river was very low, so all the shoals were exposed and we spent most days just walking up and down the river and exploring. We even hired a photographer for a family photoshoot on the river. The walk down to the river is a little steep, but pretty easy. The driveway as stated in some other reviews is a little difficult. Half is gravel, the other half closest to the cabin is concrete. The drive up the driveway when you hit the gravel is challenging in 2WD. Luckily, we rented a suv that has 4WD which made it easier. Would reccomend the owner have it graded more often. The dips in the gravel from people’s tires is what makes it difficult. Cabin is close enough to town, but far enough away. We would come back again and again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d713c085-56b3-44da-89f9-792d4ddf7ce9-1761665948455.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c266ab8f-03a9-44e1-bbde-589fae1a45b6-1761665949861.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bbd4c541-d5e3-4cfc-b6a2-b091ef130a1d-1761665958078.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/edffd010-878d-4958-ad41-388f19701d95-1761665968185.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### tori w.
