About this house rental
The Space:
This refreshed retreat is nestled on a hillside overlooking the foothills of Yonah Mountain with almost 300 feet of private bank along the bend of the Soque River with a NEW riverside entertainment patio and outdoor picnic bench.. Within a short drive, discover the beautiful hikes of Tallulah Gorge and Toccoa Falls, enjoy one of the many wineries or breweries nearby… or stay on property where you can tube, kayak, paddle or fish right from your private riverbank. Endless adventure awaits you year-round. You will be minutes from downtown Helen, yet you will feel like you are in your own world!
The Space
The Lodge is perfect for gathering! While fully renovated and contemporary, River Bend gives nods to a retro hunting lodge with its traditional log construction. An impressively large fireplace crafted from local stone greets you as you step into the living room, surrounded with comfy furniture for lingering with friends. The fully equipped kitchen includes a water filtration system, and a large pantry and is accompanied by a custom dining table to seat ten people. There is also a ten-person dining table on the elevated back porch if you prefer dining outdoors in the fresh mountain air. From the three porches, enjoy beautiful views of the river, the woodsy trail, and the forested foothills beyond. The back porch and entertainment deck both have westward/sunset views for a fantastic view every evening to enjoy gorgeous sunsets!
The ground-level space, referred to as “Rainy Day Revival” for its ability to turn any rainy day into a good time, is reminiscent of a park ranger station with a speakeasy twist. It is outfitted with all the necessities including a regulation size pool table, dart board, board games table, and cozy movie nook with a 70” TV. A Full Basement dehumidifier system in set up to keep you comfortable and relaxed! Bring the whole family as the home is designed with our younger guests in mind. A high chair, changing pad, and pack n play are available for use.
Leading you out onto the back deck, you will enjoy a cozy time in the hot tub with uninterrupted and private views through the forest, or maybe you join the fun at the small grassed area perfect for yard games and the fire pit with lounge seating.
Beat the Summer heat with your own private riverbank 280 ft of riverfrontage to be exact! Entertainment patio and outdoor dining set down by the river! For many, the best part is the spectacular woodland with the completely private trail down to the Soque River, a river famous for trout fishing. Upstream from the Chattahoochee River, the Soque is excellent for tubing, kayaking, and paddle boards with outfitters nearby.
Don’t forget high-speed wireless internet available throughout and accessible, plentiful parking, including EV charging.
River Bend Lodge is perfect for groups in town for a special event or those who want to get away to the relaxing quiet and fresh air of this very special place – come see why “Life Is Better At River Bend Lodge!”
If you are interested in having your wedding at the Lodge, please enquire for details.

Perfect location and configuration of rooms for our family to stay for Piedmont graduation. The view from the deck is amazing, love the trail to/from the River, enjoyed the swing on the front porch. Kitchen is well equipped. Beds are comfy. Lovely home! Would book again if life brings us back to Demorest area!

I can't wait to stay at River Bend Lodge again!
It was a spacious, meticulously kept cabin with sweeping views of the Soque River. The kitchen was fully stocked with any cooking utensils you might need and a large dining table that everyone could sit at. The downstairs area had so much entertainment! There were board games, puzzles, a pool table, a dart board, and a living room with a TV. The hot tub was pristine (I found out they empty and clean it after every guest!) and only a few steps away from the door - under a roof. A short walk from the hot tub is a Bocce court and fire pit, which were perfect for relaxing in the evening.
The best part was relaxing by the river! There is a concrete pad on the riverfront, which was perfect for drinking morning coffee or just sitting and enjoying the scenery. I felt like I was in a nature reserve.
I highly recommend booking a stay here!

We had such a wonderful stay at We Can Get Away with Blue Creek Cabins! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The cabin truly had everything you could possibly need, thoughtfully stocked and beautifully maintained, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy our time away.
What really stood out was how friendly the staff was. The entire experience felt warm, smooth, and genuinely cared for from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, comfortable getaway, I can’t recommend this cabin enough. We’re already looking forward to coming back!
