Stunning Rushing River Views ~ North Georgia Mountains ~ Short Hop to Town!

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Chestatee River, H&J Riverhouse is your ultimate rejuvenation destination. Just twelve minutes from historic Downtown Dahlonega and within easy access to the area's many wineries, hiking trails, and waterfalls, H&J is the perfect base camp for couples retreats, celebrating major family milestones, or reconnecting with the great outdoors.

H&J offers four, full-sized bedrooms on three levels and three and one-half baths, comfortably accommodating up to eight adults. The well-equipped kitchen and over-sized farm table invites lazy dinners at home and the screened in back porch is the perfect spot for an afternoon nap or morning coffee.

The backyard offers stunning rushing river views, 575 feet of waterfront trails, lounge seating, a fire pit for cookouts and keeping warm, and horseshoe pits for the competitive spirit. Just a short hike across the footbridge, The Overlook provides quiet reading and napping options under a huge natural rock.

H&J Riverhouse is available for personal weekend and week-long rental. Contact owners directly for special weekday corporate retreat pricing.

Christmas in the mountains
Had a great family Christmas in the mountains. Property is a little slice of heaven, so quiet and peaceful. Plenty of room for the 7 adults in our family. House is super cute, clean and cozy. Would definitely rent again.

Beautiful location
Janet is a wonderful host. Very helpful and made our check-in and check-out easy and clear. The view of the river is breathtaking. We spent all our time on the back porch listening to the river and enjoying the private space. Thank you, Riverhouse

We had a great visit here. Definitely off the beaten path, but the location is lovely next to the river. Property is very clean and well supplied with essentials. Would be great in the summer.

Relaxing Family Time
The perfect location for our family to attend a wedding in Dahlonega. The home was clean and well equipped for anything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor area was beautiful and fun to explore with the grandkids. Sitting at the fire pit listening to the river was the best! Thank you for sharing your home, hopefully we can come back soon!

Excellent little house in the woods
Girlfriends getaway weekend! The little house in the woods was perfect for four ladies looking to getaway. The house sits on the river so you get to hear the rush of the water from the covered porch. The house was well stocked for the weekend. The road in is a little narrow and steep but would stay here again.

It was remote, beautiful and a nice place to make family memories by the firepit at night, roast marshmallows and smores. Sitting by the river, gazing at the stars and snuggling with loved ones. Just a great weekend!

Great spot
This house is so great, the pictures do not do it justice. Having the river directly outside is so peaceful - we sat on the screened deck listening to it free from bugs almost the entire time. Super close to downtown and wineries.

Amazing views!
Owners are excellent, great communicators throughout the rental! River location is unparalleled, house is very clean and well stocked with all you need. One challenge some much older folks may not want is the very narrow road the 1/4 or so mile before house with no pull offs if you encountered another car. Overall a rental none will come away with unhappy!

Riverfront Relaxation
Perfect location for relaxing. The river and scenery where great. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. We will be back. The only thing that would make it better would be a larger couch inside for those rainy days.

Amazing views and rushing river
Our stay at the H & J Riverhouse was ideal for our college girlfriend getaway. The rushing river and beautiful screened in porch were perfect for a serene morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The house was the ideal size for our group of women and the kitchen nicely accommodated cooking and staying in for an evening. Check in and check out were a breeze. Thank you for a wonderful getaway!

Amazing for a relaxing girls weekend!
We came here to recharge our batteries before the next school year. It was the perfect place. Quiet, private, and well stocked. Great place to have a relaxing breakfast overlooking the river, wine tasting in wineries/meadery, and spending the night listening to storms on the back patio at night. Great communication with owners and an overall amazing experience.

Nice Christmas stay
Traveled with my husband and both sets of parents for Christmas. House was as described and very well stocked. The views were wonderful d it was nice to wake up to the sound of running water. Fire pit was great for a chilly winter night. We’d like to return when it’s warmer so we can enjoy the river! Janet was very communicative prior to and during our stay. And it was a nice touch that the house was tastefully decorated for the holiday.
