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.

River Life Is Wonderful

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.
