It was a beautiful place and we enjoyed our stay.

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.

-My friends and I were very impressed with the River Retreat. You'll be within a 5-7 minute drive to most of the things to do in Helen, or a 15-20 minute walk. -The cabin was well-appointed with plenty of space. I loved that both bedrooms had king beds. -The only downside of the cabin we experienced is its proximity to the waterpark. There will be loud music from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. every day during the warmer months. You can easily hear it inside the cabin. Other than that, we were very impressed with our visit.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The good: The cabin was pretty and spacious, and the location was conveniently located near downtown Helen. The property management company, Georgia Mtn Rentals, was very responsive, good communication.The not-so-good: The furniture, decor & appliances were outdated. The upstairs did not have a separate thermostat and therefore stayed warmer than the downstairs. The waterpark across from the property was closed, so it was quiet and peaceful; not sure how noisy it would be in the summertime.

We loved the cozy, rustic cabin vibe. Very clean and well taken care of. Close proximity to downtown a plus.

I took my mother and stepmom for a few days of relaxation away from our fur babies and to get away during my Spring Break (I teach special education students). It was absolutely perfect! The unit was immaculate, it was very spacious, and the porch outside listening to the rolling river was absolutely amazing!

the property was easily accessible- no crazy hills.. the hot tub was wonderful and the home was very clean! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

It’s about a mile walk with one big hill on the way out, but we enjoy the exercise. Aside from the one hill, the rest of the way is pretty flat. There are sidewalks all the way to town.

We stayed 4 days in a log cabins n on the chatahoochie river. Home was beautiful and the stay was awesome.

We loved the cabin. It was very spacious and accommodating! We will be back.

Great location. Great property. Convenient to local attractions. Very satisfied

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!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house/cabin was great. There was plenty of room. Being right on the river was amazing as well. The kids loved the hot tub. The only suggestion I would make is to get some nonstick skillets for the kitchen.

Beautiful cabin with very comfortable accommodations that is in close proximity to downtown Helen and other amenities.

After reading about Helen in Southern Living, I was determined to locate a cabin to add to the enjoyment of our trip. River Retreat fit the bill with the additional bonus of being located on the river! It was cozy and comfortable. We did have a difficult time locating it due to the outside light being burnt out and we arrived after dark.

We had a wonderful 3 days in Helen. The house was comfortable and provided us with a relaxing getaway. We did ask for a new coffee maker after the first morning when we realized the one in the house did not work. They said they would replace it that day and they never did. Otherwise the stay was enjoyable.

Unfortunately, this property is not kept up and management didn’t seem to care when informed of the bad condition. Upon check in found mice droppings scattered throughout living room and bedroom. Living room furniture was honestly disgusting full of dirt and stains. We had to lay blankets down to even sit down. Wish we could post pictures with our review. Zero kitchen supplies, not even pot holders for handling hot pans. 3 coffee machines with no filters. Basic things like salt, oil nothing. Come prepared or buy everything. Found pan full of grease in oven. Freezer was frozen over and ice maker broken. Use of the hot tub on night 1 found hot tub was not up to temperature, even after setting to 104 did not feel like 104. Pictures look amazing being River front, however just past the river is an enormous water park eye sore, but luckily was closed out of season. No hand soap in bathroom, no shampoo or conditioner either. Sadly falls short of the basics requirements that you’d expect at this price point. Seems mgmt thinks guests should pay to stock the rental for them. You’d be better off at one of the other numerous rentals in the area that put some thought into guest needs.

My husband and I stayed there with my daughter and her husband. So good to be with them. House was decorated pretty, bed was ok but the house was not as clean as I would have expected. The vent filters were black and very much needed changed. Location was great, right behind the water slides. If the house had been cleaner it would have been a much more nicer stay.

We decided to try renting a cabin instead of hotel. The place was nice but make sure to wash the kitchen stuff before you use them. We could tell what the previous guests ate from the leftovers on the bottom of the pots and pans. Slight bug problem also. It made for some screams, laughs and stories.

Coffee pot didn’t work so mom was bummed but the property was great and clean

Very nice, steps were a little concern. Cabin was beautiful, but upstairs TV didn't work. But we dealt with that. Small problem with passcode being changed, but they solved the problem as soon as we called them. Excellent service. We would stay there again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I took my twin tweens boys and my eight year old boy on a mini-vacation here. It was perfect! They loved being able to play in the river in the back yard. The house was cozy. The staff were very helpful. We could even walk across the river and walk to the water park. I highly suggest this rental.

Great location, property was very clean and as described. Water park directly across the river, but it was not in operation while we were there and was clearly seen in photos before i booked. Only issue we had was wifi and cell service was basically non existant at the cabin. Had to leave the property and join guest networks to retrieve any data, so wouldn't plan on working remotely from this location or even looking up directions for where you may be adventuring for the day.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay and we will be back soon.

This cabin is nestled in the perfect spot in Helen! Just outside of town but within minutes of everything. Plenty of things to do and conveniently close to Helen tubing/water park. Would definitely recommend.

Nice place. Great river access. Easy drive to town. Great cabin feel.
