About this property

If, at this moment, you were standing on our deck, with the gentle rapids of the Toccoa flowing beneath you, not only the tranquility of the setting but also the charm of an original A-frame would beckon you to stay. Imagine there being
crackling wood in the woodburning stove, or fresh caught trout frying on the stovetop, preparations being made to tube down the river or enjoyable peaceful moments in the hot tub. The firepit is ready to toast marshmallows, tell tall tales, or spin some yarn, as they say here and warm the soul.The sounds of the river will heighten your senses in the morn and lull you to sleep at night. Just breathe, relax, and enjoy.

the most dirty and outdated property i ever stayed in

place was not cleaned in weeks, spiders and dog hair everywhere, the kitchen is fixed with duct tape since my last stay a year ago, great location, but everything is old and dirty. there is only one bathroom in the house, the 2nd one is outdoors and it's not usable. they shouldn't rent it before total remodeling, waste guest time and money, when you drive 9 hours to get there and find it nasty, refunding the money is not going to do you any good, your vacation is gone to waste already.

A True River Retreat!

The River Retreat is a true gem of a cabin. The A frame cabin is full of cozy character and we did not find a reason to venture out much, what with the roaring river and beautiful scenery! We look forward to coming back! Highly recommend!

Amazing river-front, peaceful getaway immersed in the beauty of nature!

The location of the cabin was very convenient, as long as gravel roads are ok (we had no issues). Being so close to town yet also so close to hiking & waterfall trails, the river, and other great attractions (gold panning, Amicalola, treetop zipline, Blue Ridge) was wonderful. Even going during mid-February with mostly cold/freezing nights & perfectly beautiful cool days, the cabin was very cozy and had everything we needed! The river’s babbling brook feature from all of the rocks & boulders, & fast-flowing sound at night was so relaxing, and the hot tub being on the deck was a great feature. We have such great memories staying there, playing family games at night, and hiking to see waterfalls, or just hanging at the cabin outside by the fire pit enjoying the river. Big windows, a truly unique cabin layout/design, and amazing sounds & views of nature is exactly what we all needed.

Clean and comfortable oasis!

River Retreat is spectacular! Everything from the cleanliness, the amazingly comfortable beds, of course the setting and scenery, the cozy (yet spacious) atmosphere and the location! What a relaxing, peaceful, serene place, I didn’t want to leave! The description is accurate and the host was easily available for communication.

Amazing views!

We booked this cabin last minute and are so glad we did! As we got out of the car and could hear the river, we knew we hit the jackpot. The cabin has amazing views from the deck. Our boys fished and played by the water the entire time. We enjoyed s'mores at the firepit and the hot tub after. The kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfy! Location is convenient to town and we truly enjoyed a relaxing couple days in the mountains. Wish we could have stayed longer but we will be back for sure.

Babymoon getaway

Clean and as described. Well stocked for cooking at the house too. Super quaint and peaceful! River provided lots of entertainment as well as the fire pit. They had wood a plenty which was really nice! Plenty of towels and anything you can think of which isn’t always the case. Thankful for a great stay :) neighbors on one side seem like they may not love that it’s a rental. No issues but their dog barks every time he sees someone and the guy just seemed a little grumpy haha but that could be in my mind. My point is not suitable for a gathering probably but for a romantic getaway or small family weekend it’s fantastic!

Great place

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Location and view are absolutely stunning. A few things we didn't realize: The second bathroom is outside below the house, the main bedroom upstairs has a window cut out so not completely private, and there was a bit of an odor but nothing a few store-bought plugins didn't fix.

Toccoa Treat

Loved the location on the river. This is the spot to be for Mountain biking and kayaking. Life on the deck was so refreshing and relaxing with the sound of the river rushing over the rocks. Wi-Fi was great. Hot tub much appreciated for soothing weary bodies after a day of kayaking and biking

Family retreat

This home is a simple home on the beautiful river. The location was excellent. We loved being close to Blue Ridge but far enough to be close to nature. My teens and dog spent most the trip in the river. The fire pit was nice to have s’mores and sit on the river. We also enjoyed lots of the nearby hiking trails.

Definitely a river retreat

A vintage gem in the Aska area. The river views and access are exceptional. Few steps, easy parking and some wonderful updgrades (e.g. appliances, deck steps, nice dishes/glassware). Cozy and nice towels that are plentiful for both the hottub and inside use. The firepit is a bonus to enjoy relaxing by the river. Perfect size for the two of us and having our dog welcome was a pleasure. Our stay was so pleasant we can't wait to come back!

An Amazing Place!

An amazing place all around. No, it is not a super fancy luxury cabin, but we certainly felt luxurious! It was lovely, well-decorated, and nice touches of bathrobes, lots of towels, blanket/pillows and brand name handsoaps. The deck was large and overlooked a wonderful fire pit and the Toccoa River (creek). Hottub was perfect and the scenery makes you never want to leave! Highly recommend! Thanks so much!

Weekend get away.

Overall scenery and location is prime. The cabin definitely needs updated, and smells musty. Trash was piled up on back deck and in firepit. Would stay again because of location, but owners should consider upgrading some for the price.

Getaway weekend retreat

My mother in law was recently dianosed with cancer. It has been a difficult time, but this place is truly magical. It is a hidden gem! My mother in law left newly engergized and I can't thank this place enough. The pictures do not do it justice. It had everything that you would ever need to enjoy a mountain getaway and would definitly recommend for anyone from a solo trip to a group of 6 or 7 max. The sounds of the soque and mountains is very serene. And the peace and quiet you get from this cabin is amazing. The parking could get difficult if you bring too many cars, but there is just enough room for everyone to squeeze in nonetheless. All in all this was more than we could have wished for. I wanted to thank the owners for lending out such a beautiful place that helped bring my family even closer. Thanks again!!
