We do have a few board games for you or your kids to play should you want to stay indoors.

Riverside Retreat is situated in the quiet secluded neighborhood of Choestoe Village only 8 1/2 miles from downtown Blairsville, GA. Enjoy the flowing sound of the river off the back porch while sipping your morning coffee or sleep with the windows open and let the sound of the river lull you to sleep. No need for a fake river sound machine when you can have the real thing! Just minutes from several exciting activities the North Georgia Mountains has to offer. Vogel State Park and Helton Creek Falls are just a couple of nearby places to go and only minutes away from the cabin. You can also take the very beautiful 30-minute drive on the Richard B. Russell scenic highway over to Helen to float the Chattahoochee River or enjoy the shops and stores. Nottley Lake in Blairsville and Lake Chatuge in Hiawassee are only about 20-30 minutes away. Take your own boat or rent one from the many boat rental companies located on the lakes. Take in all the beauty of the leaves changing colors during the fall should your stay coincide with that time of year. You can enjoy roasting hotdogs or making smores while sitting by the fire pit next to the river. If you enjoy fishing, the river is stocked with trout several times throughout the spring and summer months. You can fish from the rocky beach or traverse the river in either direction to discover some good fishing holes. Also, there are several great fishing spots located in the surrounding areas if fishing is your thing. Choestoe Village is tucked away so you can enjoy walks around the streets or let your kids play and tube in the river while you sit in a lounge chair on the rocky beach. Parking for 2-4 vehicles not pulling anything and enough room for 2 vehicles if you are pulling a small trailer or boat.

This little cabin exceeded our expectations. Beautiful, rustic, well appointed. The pictures did not do it justice. We will be back.
We loved our stay! The cabin was in a great location and in a quaint, charming neighborhood. The owner was very quick and helpful in responding to any questions we had. The cabin was cozy, clean and had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the back porch, enjoying nature and the gentle flowing sounds from the creek. We had alot of fun roasting hot dogs & s’mores around the firepit. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely try to stay again come summer time!
We really enjoyed our stay! The owner was very quick to respond to our needs and helped us tremendously during our stay. The cabin was very clean and well kept and it smelled so good! We loved the creek flowing in the backyard, it was enjoyed as much, if not more, than the rest of the vacation. We all put on our water boots and walked around and skipped rocks! Thanks TJ for an enjoyable stay, we will be back! ?
Everything was just great. Will definitely stay here again.
my girlfriend and I both work a lot, and really wanted to get away to Georgia again from central Florida. I don’t think we could have chosen a better time or place to go off too. The backyard creek access was amazing to have, I learned how to skip rocks and enjoyed dragging the lawn chairs to sit there or sit on the rocking bench on the porch. There were some cobwebs in the rooms, and throughout the house, and a spider fell on one of us during a meal at the table, which was a bit spooky and concerning. The stairs are steep and I think it should be communicated a bit Better via a picture and text in the property description, but it was only an issue if it was dark and you were trying to traverse the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night from the second story, down to the only bathroom on the first story. i’d presume if it was not 3 able bodied adults, like my party, it’d be more of an issue. Last minor complaint is for the lack of trash bags, but again that’s all minor stuff and I think doesn’t distract from the five star review. Thank you very much for letting us onto your property, I think myself, and my partner will be back again soon if you allow us :)
The outdoor space was perfect! The creek is only steps away from the porch. The traffic sounds from the nearby highway does detract from the peacefulness but overall the outdoors was wonderful. The cabin overall is charming with cozy decor. The stairs are challenging, uneven riser heights at a steep angle. Made going to the restroom in the night from the upstairs somewhat treacherous. Just be aware if you are older. Beds were very comfortable. If not for staircase would definitely stay again.
My family greatly enjoyed our time! The kids loved playing in the river and roasting hot dogs and s'mores. We didn't want to leave and we will definitely be back!
Enjoyed it, no issues.
We enjoyed everything about this cabin. It was clean and beautiful. It had everything we needed. The river was easy to access and lots of fun. We will definitely stay in this cabin again.
Loved it. Will be back soon
Great little neighborhood that was quiet and relaxing. Loved the back porch swing, rockers and the sound of the creek. Location was good as it wasn’t far to town and the surrounding areas we visited. I would absolutely stay here again.
Super easy check in and check out process and perfect location on the Nottley River. A perfect cabin weekend trip experience
This cabin was amazing! The inside was just perfect and the outside views even better! The kids enjoyed playing in the river while we grilled on the back porch- all while they stayed in our sight! We will be coming back! Thank you!
My family enjoyed staying in this cabin! The location was ideal for doing different things from Helen, Anna Ruby Falls and Brasstown Bald. Town was only about 10 minutes down the road for anything you needed like groceries, gas or Walmart. My kids really enjoyed the swing on the back porch, skipping rocks in the stream and making smores in the firepit. The beds were super comfy. This cabin is just adorable! We hope to be back!
There’s only one word to describe this property and that’s awesome! From the easy check in to the just renovated cabin it was all thumbs up from our crew. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the river the most but Mother Nature changed our plans with some heavy rains. As the kids moved indoors they were able to use the internet and stream movies. The well stocked kitchen made cooking simple. Even at shower time being number five in line the on demand hot water system kept me with plenty of hot water. The bathroom reminded me of five star hotel with new granite countertops and the glass enclosed tile shower which was an unexpected treat. The area itself was great with room for afternoon walks (when the rain slacked off) and a short run to the Sunrise Grocery for fun shopping. Highly recommend this cabin and plan to stay here again.
