We enjoyed staying in the cabin by the creek. Loved the sounds while sitting on the deck. The beds were so comfortable! Very close to town. We'll be back!
This place was all we expected it to be. Convenient to all the sights but felt very private. Lovely place to just sit in the river and enjoy the nature.
The cabin is right on the river and was very nice! It is close to down town Helen but still seemed private! We even sat in the hot tub while listening to the river and it was so relaxing!
I have never left a negative review in my life so it takes a lot for me to say this. The cabins locations was wonderful but for what I paid for three nights that was the only positive. We had trouble with the combination lock on our 2nd day and called and someone was quickly sent out to reprogram. This was very pleasing but the cabin itself was not taken care of. The furniture had stains and the floor was so dirty you could not walk barefoot without your feet being black. We killed a few roaches and then found roach soray on top of the refrigerator so the problem was known. We found a couple of ticks on the couch. There was a note left on the refrigerator with notes how to clean up where it was expressed that we not put out unused towels and linens in the tub with our dirty used ones. This made me feel that the linens were not all laundered in between each guest which is gross. We actually chose to leave a day early because we were so unhappy with the lack of cleanliness. Of course normally I would chalk this up to a cleaning person or company being more responsible for the state of the cabin but I sent a very detailed email the morning after we left to explain why we left early and the condition in which the cabin is. I received an email stating someone would get in touch with me and after more than a week of waiting I have heard nothing. Helen is one of my favorite places to visit and unfortunately this trip is one i will remember in a negative light and I would not recomme
Very clean and nice lodging beside a clear water creek. We were there in the off season so it was quiet and non crowded. Hot tub on porch was clean and warm. Convenient to town and area attractions. As they have well water, I suggest using bottled water for coffee or tea and for ice. Kcups are needed for coffee. Overall , it was a very pleasant stay. Deer were seen along the creek as were some fishermen. Host was very attentive to a lighting issue we had. And we were pleasantly surprised to see a gift waiting for us from the host, as it was our 50th wedding anniversary!! Thank you for making our stay memorable!
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 wouldnât work throughout our trip. Everything else was great!
The location is great to get to town, only a few minutes drive. There is a water park directly across from the house. Thankful it was closed for the season. The house needs some updating and we felt like they needed more kitchen items for cooking. There is only 1 dry measuring cup, bowls for mixing, etc The keypad on the door was not working, but the property manager came right there and got us in. The response time was great and she was very helpful! Overall we had an amazing weekend.
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!!!!
