Description
The Riverside Trout Cottage is a stunning 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath luxury retreat nestled directly on the Chattahoochee River and just a 2-block walk to downtown Helen. With room for up to 6 guests, this upscale condo offers the perfect balance of sophistication, space, and scenery — ideal for families, couples, or small groups.
Inside, you'll find modern mountain elegance at every turn — from the open-concept living space and upscale kitchen to the three private bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and walls of windows flood the home with natural light and riverside views.
Step right outside and enjoy direct access to the Chattahoochee River — perfect for wading, skipping rocks, simply cooling off in the mountain-fed waters, or simply kicking back and watching tubers float by with a smile. Only at the Cottage can you enjoy three levels of private decks, each offering sweeping views of the Chattahoochee River. Begin your day with coffee and river views, and end it with a glass in hand as tubers float past — there's no better place to relax and reconnect.
The condo is well situated for walking into downtown Helen, enjoying local German restaurants, a game of mini golf, German music & dancing at the Fest Hall during Oktoberfest or an exhilarating ride on the Alpine Roller Coaster.
Alpine Helen has so much to offer every season of the year, from Christmas lights & music to Summer water park fun.
Inside, the cozy furniture and welcoming atmosphere make it easy to feel at home. Relax on plush sofas while watching your favorite movie on the large TV, or prepare delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen.
Spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds ensure every guest enjoys a restful sleep after a day of adventure. Two bedrooms feature en suite bathrooms and private access to the balcony.
