Welcome to River Haus where the new rocking chair front porch with swing invites you to rest and relax knowing you have made it to your home away from home!

The spacious living room has a faux flame fireplace and a flat screen Smart TV. While there is satellite television, you may lock into any of your channel subscriptions. The kitchen is equipped with stainless appliances, an island bar with sink, log bar stools, an antler pot rack and lighting fixture, and a full-size washer and dryer. There is the standard-size refrigerator, stove/oven, and microwave. There is even a wine cooler. We also made sure you have both a standard drip coffee maker and a Keurig, a toaster oven, an ice maker, a blender, a dishwasher, and a toaster! The dining area has enough seating for ten at the heavy log dining table.

The living room opens to a large deck with an outdoor dining table. All of this was built for your relaxation while watching the Chattahoochee River below. For grilling and outdoor cooking, there is a gas grill and griddle on this covered deck. Underneath the cabin there is an entertainment area with a Tiki Bar, flat screen TV, a 7-person Hot Tub and a full-size bath along with a separate kitchen and cooking area. This outdoor kitchen has a full-size refrigerator along with a microwave, an oven/stove and a kitchen sink. River Haus boasts of the beautiful outdoor fire pit, perfect for those cool North Georgia evenings.

The house was perfectly set on the river. It was much bigger on the inside than it looked from the outside. I was traveling with 4 other ladies and we all had plenty of space. The kitchen is great. The hot tub was enjoyed and the area under the house is truly set up for a family reunion. The den area was comfortable and the fact that you could walk to town was a huge plus. Would recommend for friend or family groups.
