Lost Soles of the River | Romantic Riverside Retreat in Helen

Lost Soles of the River is an exquisite, newly renovated home right on the Chattahoochee River and just a few minutes walk to downtown Helen’s shops and restaurants! The name "Lost Soles" comes from the home for all those lost soles (shoes) that came floating down the river. The owners built a place between two trees so tubers could stop and hang all those single, lost soles. Unfortunately, the largest of the two trees had to be cut down and the once-famous “Lost Soles” sitting for tubers and others alike is no longer there. However, the memory lives on and if you do any Geocaching, you’re sure to find a lost soles treasure on your app.

This gorgeous home has so many incredible features and amenities including a large deck overlooking the beautiful Chattahoochee River with a TV to stream your favorite music or watch your favorite show. Enjoy sitting around a great rustic fire pit and charcoal grill a delightful meal - all with plenty of seating so you can relax, enjoy, and make memories of a lifetime. There are a few steps right down to the river so you can fish, put your tube in for a stroll down the river, or just put your feet in.

There is a badminton area, swings, picnic tables, and a smoker grill are all in a beautiful park-like setting. So many fun activities are offered right in your own backyard. This gem must be on the top of your list to stay in wonderful Alpine Helen, GA! With a short drive, there are plenty of beautiful waterfalls and nearby hiking.

We are positive you’ll be spending lots of time outside soaking up the sun, playing fun games, grilling your favorite meal, and sipping your delicious cocktail. So don’t wait! Come and have an amazing time at Lost Soles of the River.
