The cottage gave us a place to relax and unwind when we weren't on the go in Helen, Dohlonega or up on top of the Blue Ridge riding the scenic railroad. Great long weekend getaway.

Management company super nice and helpful. ##### Amanda G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Holidaying in Helen 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cozy 4BR Cabin in Ellijay • Pets Welcome • Hot Tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellijay-Hotels-Serene-And-Private-SettingHot-TubGames.h105702972.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Comfort Pretty as a Peach](https://www.expedia.ca/Eatonton-Hotels-Southern-Comfort-Pretty-As-A-Peach.h92815402.Hotel-Information) > > [Riffle Run Cabin: River Access, Hot Tub, Game Room](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellijay-Hotels-Riffle-Run-Cabin-River-Access.h100850279.Hotel-Information) > > [La La's Cabin Fire Pit Pet friendly sleeps 8 Secluded](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellijay-Hotels-La-Las-Cabin-Fire-Pit-Pet-Friendly-Sleeps-8-Secluded.h107901045.Hotel-Information) > > [Lanier Islands Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gainesville-Hotels-Lanier-Islands-Legacy-Lodge.h23247.Hotel-Information) > > [Callaway Resort & Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/LaGrange-Hotels-Callaway-Resort-Gardens.h37734.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Atlanta-Mall Of Georgia](https://www.expedia.ca/Gainesville-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Atlanta-Mall-Of-Georgia.h424885.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Richmond Hill Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Savannah-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Richmond-Hill-Inn.h1367198.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Brunswick-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Jekyll-Island.h19383.Hotel-Information) > > [Drury Plaza Hotel Valdosta](https://www.expedia.ca/Thomasville-Hotels-Drury-Inn-Suites-Valdosta.h5455897.Hotel-Information) > > [Honeysuckle Hideaway: Mountain View Leisure Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Blue-Ridge-Hotels-Honeysuckle-Hideaway-A-Mountain-View-Leisure-Lodge.h67325463.Hotel-Information) > > [The Weeks End | Ellijay, GA](https://www.expedia.ca/Blue-Ridge-Hotels-The-Weeks-End-Ellijay.h26682553.Hotel-Information) > > [Secluded Cabin | Sauna | Hot Tub | Pet Friendly | Game Room | Wrap Around Deck](https://www.expedia.ca/Helen-Hotels-Secluded-Cabin-2BR-3-BA-Sauna-Hot-Tub-Pool-Table-Wrap-Around-Deck.h28899329.Hotel-Information) > > [Classic/Modern Downtown Home In Valdosta](https://www.expedia.ca/Thomasville-Hotels-Classicmodern-Downtown-Home-In-Valdosta.h21385452.Hotel-Information) > > [Forrest Hills Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Helen-Hotels-Forrest-Hills-Mountain-Resort.h11593881.Hotel-Information) > > [The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Blue-Ridge-Hotels-The-Villas-At-Coosawattee-River-Resort.h38741783.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Ridge Vacation Rental w/ Deck & Game Room!](https://www.expedia.ca/Epworth-Hotels-Blue-Ridge-Vacation-Rental-W-Deck-Game-Room.h100850174.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Macon-Hotels-Best-Western-Inn-Suites.h85076.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Oconee Lake Front Cabin+Private Dock+Fire Pit+Fireplace+AMAZING VIEWS!](https://www.expedia.ca/Eatonton-Hotels-Lake-Oconee-Lake-Front-CabinPrivate-DockViews-Views-Views.h90214152.Hotel-Information) > > [A Perfect Sunset Cottage on Lake Oconee!](https://www.expedia.ca/Eatonton-Hotels-A-Perfect-Sunset-Cottage-On-Lake-Oconee.h87575291.Hotel-Information) > > [Huck Finn’s Hideaway / Hot Tub On Lake and creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Dahlonega-Hotels-Huck-Finns-Hideaway-Hot-Tub-On-Lake-And-Creek.h91914752.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Elan](https://www.expedia.ca/Braselton-Hotels-Chateau-Elan.h49872.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Top cabin when you need a break from EVERYTHING!
