River Retreat was a great stay. Beds were comfortable, cabin was cozy, and conveniently located. The kitchen was not well stocked and the upstairs TV wouldn’t work throughout our trip. Everything else was great!

Had a great long weekend stay for Oktoberfest! Perfect setup for 2 couples. We walked into town most days but be warned there is a steep hill to walk up at the beginning but great after that! The cabin had everything we needed.

Very clean. Beds are comfortable.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
We liked that the property seemed private, even with houses close by. The direct access to the river was great though all the neighbors used it. The house was nice and worked well for us. We could walk to many places in the town.
Great location close to town, on the creek and quiet
This cabin was perfect for me and my wife and friends we hadn't seen for over 30 years until we reconnected earlier this year. The cottage gave us a place to relax and unwind when we weren't on the go in Helen, Dohlonega or up on top of the Blue Ridge riding the scenic railroad. Great long weekend getaway. Ga Mountain rentals checked on us twice to make sure all was good and we didn't need anything.
We will be back soon!!!!
We had a great time! the place was maintained well and we made use of all the amenities. The hot tub, pool table and arcade machine on lower level is where to be! Would return for sure!
