Kitchen is stocked with all the necessary pots, pans, utensils and other items you might need to cook with. The bathroom is located on the main level while the 2 bedrooms are located upstairs. Each bedroom has aqueen size bed with smart TV's and small closets to store your clothes while visiting. The living room has a couch with a pull-out bed and a gas fireplace so you can curl up on the couch and enjoy watching movies on the smart TV which also has dish network connected. (TV's upstairs do not have feed from dish)
We do have a few board games for you or your kids to play should you want to stay indoors. You'll have several places to enjoy eating meals either on the roadside screened in porch, the open porch on the riverside or in the dining room area. 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 cabin was the perfect place for my girl’s birthday trip with my best friend. We spent mornings and evenings relaxing on our back porch. The location was centrally located to downtown Blairsville, Living water winery and Brass town Bald. The accommodation had lovely decor. Also had everything we needed in the kitchen including the keurig coffee pot combo to be comfortable for our north Georgia weekend. Check in was easy. We had some issue with cooling the cabin but the host quickly responded and helped us operate the air conditioning in each room by text on the app. It might be helpful to include air conditioner tips in the notebook left in the dining area. The modern bathroom downstairs was so nice with a spacious shower that had great water pressure. We appreciate the shampoo, conditioner and soap left for us as well as plentiful towels of every size. I will note here that the 6 or so steps leading upstairs to the bedrooms were steep but had wide planks. We both had some knee and spinal issues at 57 so we decided to leave the suitcases downstairs on the large trunk against wall in dining area to avoid going up until bedtime and this set up worked well since the only bathroom is downstairs. We would definitely love to come back in the fall. We so enjoyed walking the safe neighborhood.

    The host was very responsive prior to our stay and provided us with details requested. The cabin was clean, cozy, and welcoming. Absolutely loved the creek and back porch area, including the comfy rockers and blankets. The beds were really comfortable and I slept well during the duration of our stay. The location is great too. We spent a day in Blairsville, a day in Helen, and a day in Blue Ridge. All were easy to get to from this cabin location. Highly recommend visiting some of the State Parks in the area as they offer great walking trails and sight seeing for a very minimal fee. We would stay here again!

    The property was AMAZING! I wish I could’ve stayed longer just to sit by the river and listen to the water! I bet it’s even better in the winter with snow!! We brought our whole family, 4 kids and 2 adults- the kids LOVED the water and floating down. The house is well stocked with necessities. Blairsville and Helen are great, but just driving around and taking in the scenery is even better! I’d love to come back for our next family vacation. *bring your water shoes! Those rocks will get your feet lol we brought ours!!

    Sometimes you just need to get away from the normal life and busyness at home. Sometimes you just need to breathe fresh air and slow down. This is the place if you want to do that! I spent hours on the back porch relaxing, and looking out over the river! My husband spent hours standing in the river fishing for trout-which we cooked and ate! I spotted two mallard ducks swimming in the river, a baby red eared turtle, a redheaded woodpecker, a hawk and many unique plants in the area. The property and home are very clean and had everything we needed: cookware and kitchen utensils, all the TV channels for watching movies at night, comfortable beds, really cool shower, easy check in and check out! I can’t say enough about this place-we are already looking forward to our next visit there.
