    We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. The location was excellent very close to all the shops & places to eat in Helen but still very quiet. The river in the backyard you could hear from the screen porch was a wonderful bonus. I would definitely stay here again if we returned to Helen.

    The location was perfect. Communication was very fast. We loved looking out at the river in the mornings. It was very nice to have a designated parking space in a busy area where you have to pay to park in public parking. We don’t always love the bed where we stay, but we loved this one! It was so comfortable and we didn’t wake up with achy backs or necks. A lovely stay for sure!

    We loved our stay at River Life! It was a wonderful location and we were able to walk everywhere with our two babies in the stroller and leave our car at the property which saved us from having to get in and out and pay for parking. The condo itself was very clean and spacious and the screened in porch with the river view was perfect for our little crew to hang out on and enjoy. We loved walking to the playground to get our energy out and it is just a short stroll from the property. We will definitely stay again!

    The condo couldn't be more perfectly located to enjoy your visit to Helen. We especially loved the porch and watching the folks float by on their tubes. And even though there are many restaurants to enjoy within walking distance, the kitchen was so well equipped that we grilled out and cooked dinner with our friends one night. Highly recommend this condo if you are visiting Helen.

    This was my second stay at River Life on the Chattahooche, and I was thrilled to find it still available when planning my trip to Helen. I love how conveniently close it is to downtown, and the area feels very safe. It was also reassuring to see that it’s still owned by the same people as it was four years ago. The location truly couldn’t be better, and the property is exceptionally clean. One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the screened-in back porch by the river every evening after dinner. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout. River Life will always be my go-to place to stay whenever I visit Helen.

    The place is perfect. Great location, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The only thing that went wrong is the fireplace seemed to be out of gas and wouldn’t light. We are from Florida so that would have been nice when the temps dipped under 40. But that was minor everything else is say was a10.

    Everything was perfect. This place is updated, clean and welcoming. I cooked while there and it was laid out logically and had everything I needed. Coffee on the back deck is a must, the river rolling by along with the high chairs provided a great view of nature as we were welcoming Fall. Great Master bed and slept better than we do at home. All the little decor touches are charming and not overwhelming. High recommend if going to FestHall-it's so close!

    My family and I loved this property! It's 150 yards from the Helen Festhalle, where the Official Oktoberfest is held, and 20 yards from the river. The Festhalle is full of beer, and the river is full of fish! My wife and daughters enjoyed the short walk to everything Helen offered. Christoff’s is right around the corner, and it was a hidden jewel. The house was spotless, nicely furnished, and had everything we needed. The River behind the condo was full of Brown trout and was great for casting. It's the perfect place to explore everything Helen has to offer. The hosts were great and quick to reply to any messages I sent them, and they were very good and kind people. I highly recommend this property and will be going back.

    We loved our stay at this condo! It was well appointed with a stocked kitchen and nice furniture. The screened deck was awesome and again good seating outside. Everything was nice and clean. Loved the open floor plan, bathrooms in both bedrooms, and the location! Use of the gas grill was great. I’d love to have 2 sets of keys to get in, as our party was split up some days, and an interior lock that doesn’t open with the door handle. We had to block the door from our toddler. The thermostat was on a bit of a wild schedule and blasted air at night, but not sure if that was from a previous renter and it was easily fixed. Loved that the air conditioning worked well! Two in our group hit their shins badly on the bed in the master bedroom, so just a heads up to be careful there. Communication was good. I had a question when I first arrived and received a quick response. Overall, we really enjoyed this stay! It was nice and relaxing and we loved hanging out on the deck watching the floaters go by on the river.

    Our kids go to Winshape camp for one week every summer. Once we drop them off, my husband and I stay in Helen and relax. That way we are close by if needed. This property is so nice. It’s right by the river. We loved watching the tubers while relaxing on the screened porch. We were able to walk everywhere because this condo is close to everything. We plan on staying again next summer.
