  My extended family of 10 stayed here over the Christmas holiday. We had plenty of room to spread out and the teenage boys loved the basement playroom. The kitchen was great and made cooking our meals a pleasure. The home has everything you could possibly need. Highly recommend the property!

  The house was very well equiped, clean and beautiful. We were all very comfortable in the home with plenty of space for the adults and young adults. The only issue we had was with the internet- it keep "kicking us off" which complicated being able to work from the home. We had to contact the owner about a concern and he was gracious and very quick to respond and follow up. Overall, the house was great and would love to return during the warmer weather to enjoy the outside living space and fun on the river. Thank you again!

  This is the 2nd year in a row our family of 14 has enjoyed this beautiful and well cared for house. We have been to several cabin homes over the years, and this is our favorite by far. Hence why we knew last year that we would be coming back again to enjoy it this year. The house has 3 levels and all of the amenities you could ask for. The house is up on hill, giving it wonderful views and much privacy. Sitting on the porch in the mornings was enjoyed by all. Our family loves to cook and used the state of the art kitchen and grill every day. Flat screen televisions in all areas for movie nights, etc. The pool area was heavily used by our family. Large gazebo with refrigerator and double sink. Bring a blender, what else do you need? There is also a grill at the pool area and built in fireplace. One of the top amenities to this location is the owner. He is an extremely friendly man and goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. He stops by every morning to clean the pool and remove the trash for you. Anything you need to know about the area, he is happy to help you out with. Regarding a few mentions on other reviews: - Yes, the driveway to get up to the house is steep. However, the owner installed deep concrete strips that makes the incline effortless. Our family had 3 mini-vans and had no problem getting up and down during our stay. - Our family had no issues with the beds in the house. SBBWOTS - we miss you!!

  We had 11 members of our family ranging in age from 12 to 72 stay at this AWESOME mountain retreat. The owner is very accommodating and helpful. He came each morning and cleaned the pool. We enjoyed the lovely views, awesome amenities, and relaxation we find in this great hideaway. We hope to return next year to make more memories. Thanks for a great vacation. :)

  My son, daughter in law, 2 granddaughters, Maggie the dog, and I were able to spread out and enjoy this big, beautiful home the first week of June, 2012 - right after school was out in hot, humid South Texas. Our drive was pretty much torture - it is a very long way from San Antonio, TX to Mineral Bluff, GA - but we made it fun and Riverview Retreat was well worth the time! All had a grand and relaxing time, can highly recommend this wonderful home for family gatherings. All pictures are right on the money, and house is so comfortably furnished, very well maintained and lovingly cared for by the local owner. Our weather was outstanding - cool, clear mountain air is my new favorite. Granddaughters loved the Queen's Room; loved playing pool, foosball, and very much enjoyed the "freezing" pool and "hottest" hot tub. We cooked steaks on the deck and also down by the pool, built a fire in the outdoor fireplace, told "ghost" stories and caught fireflies. Toccoa River was clear and fast flowing, right down the hill - yes, good thing we had trucks to negotiate the driveway up to the house - glad my elderly parents were unable to make this trip - they may have had bit of struggle up and down the driveway to the pool and river areas, but we younger folks enjoyed the exercise - loved our hikes! There is also an awesome Italian restaurant on the main road in Mineral Bluff when you tire of cooking for yourself in the extremely well appointed kitchen. Would definitely make a return trip to Riverview Retreat and cannot say enough about agent and owner in processing and hospitality for our GA mountain vacation experience. Great memories!

  This house really is a great place to stay. The location is great! The owners have thought of everything, you can tell that they have taken the time to make this home very warm and welcoming. We did have a couple of minor issues, one of the bedrooms mattress was worn out. I told the owner about this and he said he would be buying a new mattress. There was an issue with the pool, we were able to swim in the pool the owner was very concerned about this and very apologetic. The owner was a joy to work with. He is so very kind and helpful. He came to the home to let us know that he was available 24 hrs a day for us!! We love this house, it is great for large families or groups. The house is very well taken care of and very clean. To us the pictures do not do the house justice! This house is very, very nice, clean, beautifully decorated, well stocked. The house is way up on a hill, we would recommend a truck getting to the house. Overall the house is wonderful and we are going back in the fall and next summer!

  The property was just as described online. We had family from several states meet us there for a long weekend. The waether was great and the owner was very nice. Our only complaint was the beds. Several beds were not firm at all or parties rolled to the center of the bed. The river access was nice but be careful of snakes along the river bank. I would not let childrn play un attened along the rocks.

  We had 14 family members including my husband and I for 5 days over Christmas 2011. The house was absolutely large enough for all of us to be comfortable. The decor and Christmas decorations added to the celebration. It was absolutely fantastic! The owner was out of town for the holidays but I needed to call him to ask a few questions he was always very helpful and always asked if we had all we need. Everyone loved it and would love to come in the summer months do we could enjpy the pool and also go tuning. It is well worth the money! Thank you!

  Our extended family spent the weekend at this beautiful home to celebrate our Father's 80th Birthday as well as an early Christmas. There was plenty of space to spread out and make everyone feel comfortable. I especially was spoiled by the kitchen amenities and the wonderful kitchen table that was able to accommodate our family! Bruce made it clear that if we needed anything he was there for us, which was much appreciated. We may go back in a few years if it's still available for a Summer visit to enjoy the pool area and the river.
