This place was amazing! The beds were very comfy and I loved that there were blankets everywhere. The hot tub was very clean! It is not advertised, but there is a TV in each bedroom! We saw a groundhog directly outside the stair window! We will stay again!!

This a great an relaxing place to stay, perfect location.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Rivers Rest Cabin. The first floor mudroom area was great for dropping dirty shoes. Kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed. The bed configuration was great for our family. We spent a lot of time out on both balconies (2nd floor and 3rd floor have a balcony) watching the tubers. We would stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at River's Rest. With little to no free parking in the Helen City limits, it was great to be within walking distance! We all enjoyed the river, teens and adults included. Highly recommend!

We loved staying at River Retreat. Easy walk to town. The place was clean and tidy. The hot tub was so clean it looked new. Kitchen had everything we needed. Going to sleep by the river was really nice. Only downside was the TV, it didnât work at times and when it did it struggled to keep connected. It didnât bother us because we donât watch much tv anyway. Also remember this is a mountain home 2 flights of steps. If you have issues with stairs you might not like River retreat but we loved it!! Also Georgia Mountain Rentals was great to work with, friendly professional staff. We will be renting from them again for sure.

We had a great long weekend! The view was beautiful. Very cozy home and so close to downtown. We walked to Bettyâs for a delicious breakfast and walk to the park and hiked the trail that goes from Helen to the Lodge. Very convenient. We enjoy the hot tub and fireplace on the chilly nights! Loved drinking coffee on the deck listening to the river. Will definitely be back.
We had a very relaxing girls weekend trip. The property was in a great location, and a short walk to downtown. The hot tub, the gas fireplace, and the large bedrooms made for a cozy place to relax. We will definitely be back.

This was our first trip to Helen, Georgia and we had a WONDERFUL time. Our condo was perfect and an easy walk to the downtown activities. We loved standing on the balconies to see and hear the river. Very good experience.

We chose the cabin for being dog friendly and looking clean. It was very clean and cozy for us and our Weimaraners! The sound of the river was divine. We enjoyed walking to the downtown area and enjoying all the Christmas decor. I was quite happy the cabin was decorated for Christmas and had many comfy blankets throughout to keep warm.

The driveway is concrete and is approx 18 feet at a steep grade on a 90 degree turn. The a/c didn't cool very well at a permanent 70. The dryer struggled with light loads. Had a heavy pet smell upon entering the front door. Pillows on beds need to be replaced, very flat and stained. Needs a very deep cleaning.
