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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This cabin was perfect and location was excellent. The view and access of the river was great and the guys definitely enjoyed it. The deck was nice to enjoy our grilling night and the hot tub was enjoyable on the crisp, cool nights. The cabin was perfect for togetherness but also gave us our privacy. It was well stocked and very clean. Location was also a bonus because it was just a short drive to town for shopping or eateries. The rental company called checking to make sure everything was good. Our Wi-Fi was not working and they jumped right on it to fix the problem. We will definitely rent from them again. Thanks for helping to make our vacation a success.

Overall, the house was very nice. The only two issues I had was there was a bucket or planter of cigarette buds on the porch that was very full. We are non-smokers so this really grossed us out. Also, the hot tub smelled very musty. The view was deceiving. There’s a huge water park across the small creek. That was not shown in the pictures. It was a beautiful house and we had a good time.

We had a wonderful time on the property. The location was perfect for what we wanted. We were able to get to downtown Helen very easily, but were far enough away to have privacy and enjoy nature. The property was very clean and communication was perfect! We will be back!

Upon arrival we found a dirty brown towel draped across the back of the recliner. Then discovered the upstairs toilet wouldn’t flush. The pots and pans need replaced, all handles felt like they were about to fall off. Good thing we only planned on cooking breakfast one morning.

We stayed at this cabin 4 years ago. My wife and daughter have been wanting to go back. We finally did and are very happy we did.
This cabin is well equipped and very cozy, yet spacious for its listed size. Very good cabin to rent.
If the owner is interested in selling it please let me know.
Otherwise, I do plan on returning to rent it.

Place was fabulous. The hot tub only half works but we managed. I’d suggest mentioning across from water park because summertime stays might be aggravating. Overall very pleased.

Our cabin rental was absolutely perfect. It was clean, comfortably furnished, kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, lovely deck with the therapeutic sound of the river below the deck. Loved that it had a washer and dryer! We hope to return again.

Beautiful with leaves changing. Cabin very nice. River was too low to catch trout and Main Street too many people and long waits at restaurants.
Pretty location!

Live the location, but the house needs a little updating. Most of the things in the kitchen are very old, loose handles on pot, some have backed on food, knives are lacking, just kitchen utensils accross the board need newer stuff. One of the chairs in living room has a big rip in it, looks ratty, and needs to be repaired or swapped out. I am not high maintenance by any means, but if you just spend a few dollars they place would be much better

The location was ideal to the town of Helen for Oktoberfest! Enjoyed the mornings listening to the river flow sitting up on the spacious porch. Our group utilized the hot tub, grill, classic gaming system, and other kitchen amenities. All were in good working order. The beds were cozy and accommodated the group nicely. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town! The property management group communicated regularly and professionally from start to end. Even made a courtesy phone call to ask if we needed anything and how we enjoyed the first night. Thanks again for the great memories!

We had a great time. We stayed in the cabin next door last year but decided to stay in this cabin this year because it had a hot tub. Saying that, the hot tub is only big enough for 2 people. There was 4 of us so that was a little disappointing. The area is really nice. We brought camping chairs & sat in the river. The only thing I would suggest is updating the furniture to something washable. The couch & chairs have stains all over them, some very questionable.....The multi cade game was a lot of fun. FYI bring quarters. Brought back some memories. I would stay here again.
