We had a great time. Kids loved the bunk beds. They also loved the zip line and fire pit for smores. Great family place to stay as long as the kids are old enough to navigate steps. Thank you to the hosts for a great place!

Riverside Retreat Getaway
My family and friends had a wonderful stay at the Riverside Retreat! The cabin was clean and cozy. The rooms were much larger than we expected. We loved the fact that there were many outlets in each room. The beds were very comfortable. There were large group of deers on the property. They were so friendly and did not scare easily. There was access from the creek to the Coosawattee river that ran through the resort. We had fun floating the river. There are large rocks that you have to move around and small rapids depending on where you are on the river. You are able to float near the cabin. I recommend this stay and plan on coming back.

Our favorite place to stay, by far. Our stay was neither business nor pleasure. We stayed here because our son plays travel baseball and this place was the PERFECT place for getting away from the hot ball fields and crowds at the park and the hotels. This place checked all the boxes we were looking for and we found it last minute. The owners are extremely friendly and flexible with our crazy baseball schedule. The rooms were big enough for all our family and especially our furry family members. The amenities that are included were top notch. We played putt putt, went swimming in the pool and the river, played pickle ball and seen a lot of deer. It was fantastic. We had the best time and would highly recommend this stay to everyone that is looking. We would like to give it more than 5 stars. My family and I can’t thank these folks enough for sharing their home with us.
