Riverwatch Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Spend your days fishing, rafting, and tubing on the Toccoa River at this three-bedroom Blue Ridge retreat, a wonderfully appointed riverfront home with a private hot tub and firepit, a game room with a pool table, and a spacious deck and screened porch for enjoying the North Georgia beauty that surrounds you!

You'll find this home in the Aska Adventure Area nine miles southeast of downtown Blue Ridge, where it sits directly on the shores of the Toccoa River. Pass the morning hours rafting and fishing for trout right outside your door, gather the troops for a family hike to Fall Branch Falls (four miles west) or Springer Mountain at the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail (19 miles south), or head into downtown Blue Ridge to go antiquing or catch a movie at the legendary Swan Drive-In Theatre.

Wake up each morning to the sounds of the river and of the leaves swaying in the breeze, and make your way into the kitchen (with a dishwasher) to prepare breakfast as a family. Bring your coffee outside to the expansive screened-in porch, head down to the river's edge to cast a morning line, or use the free WiFi to make plans for the day ahead. Whether you choose to go for a hike or play putt-putt at Lilly Pad Village nearby, you'll come home to lunch on the gas grill, a soothing soak in the private hot tub, and a friendly game of nine-ball on the pool table in the game room. Each evening, you can reconnect with your loved ones as you sit down for dinner outside, tell stories around the firepit, and retreat indoors to watch movies and play games in the warmth of the gas fireplace.

You'll never forget the days you spend on the shores of the Toccoa River - begin planning your family retreat to Blue Ridge today!

Riverwatch Retreat is our new “home.”
This is the second time my family has stayed at Riverwatch Retreat and it never disappoints. Great location. Beautiful scenery. Towards the end of the road so there aren’t many cars. The house is roomy and lovely. Thank you so much for sharing this treasure with us!

Great getaway for outdoors people
Common area had a great table for large parties that joined nicely with family room. Loved that hot tub was super separated from common area for children safety. Fireplace with timer and automatic shut off was great amenity! Kitchen is not updated but is clean and all necessary items are available. Great place!!!!

Beautiful Peaceful Getaway
My family and I came up from Florida to get away from the beach madness and were definitely not disappointed! The home was very clean, plenty of towels and all necessities for our stay from home. We honestly don't have a single complaint. The beds were super comfy, dish washer and washer and dryer worked great, fully stocked kitchen (dishes, pans, toaster, coffee maker, ect) We had alot of fun playing pool in the den, beautiful river views from the hot tub, lots of nature and super quiet. We will definitely be back and will recommend to others!

We loved our stay at the cabin. Between the great area downstairs for our boys, and the fishing steps from the front porch this place couldn’t have been better! We will definitely be returning.

Quiet and remote cabin
The cabin and location were amazing. I was a little surprised to find the river in the front of the house with no backyard and a road in between the river and the cabin.

Beautiful cabin
Cabin was suitably decorated, beds were comfortable. For the price of the owners up charges over nightly price, they could up grade cook ware, provide more outside chairs for grill area. There were only 2 chairs, when the house sleeps 12-13. Down stairs fireplace would not light. WiFi was not accessible, even after resetting modem

This is a great house in a secluded location. It is about 8 "mountain" miles from Blue Ridge. Great restaurants in town. Train ride was fun for the whole family.

Great cabin, great river, bad neighbors
This cabin was very nice. It had plenty of room. The porch was amazing. The kitchen was a little small but still nice and had everything we needed. The house was clean but I just think it wasn't as clean as it could have been. There were cobwebs and a rogue beer can. It was still fine. The neighbors however, oh my word!!! The houses are really close together so this cabin is not secluded at all. There was a house just after this house that was a rental. But the house just before belonged to a very loud and boisterous man. He actually ruined our vacation because he was SO LOUD ALL THE TIME! He had a nice deck over the river and he stayed out there with whom I think was the landscape guy and the house cleaning people. He was so loud all day every day. Frustrating for us. We are outdoorsy but opted to stay inside because of him. Nothing we could do. He owns his place it seems. I would just have liked for someone to leave an honest review so that is what I am doing. Hopefully he isn't there when you rent. He doesn't live there full time from what I understand. Good luck!

Nice house. Nice access to the river. Virtually no internet as marketed.
We decided on this house because of the access to the river and the amenities. The house and the access to the river were great. However, the internet was virtually non existent. When we complained, we were told that is just the way it is in the area. Wouldn't have mattered too much, except that one party of four was on a working vacation. We feel we should have been informed before we booked. If you don't care about the internet or HDTV, this is the place for you. If you expect to use the internet very much at all while you are there, or see a good picture on the smart TV's, then you are out of luck. Fishing was good.

Just perfect!
My husband and I stayed at the cabin with two other couples. We were all impressed how roomy the cabin was. the master room was charming and nicely decorated wth the moose theme. We all took turns cooking, the kitchen had all the items we needed to make home made meals. The dining room table was very inviting and rustic. The porch was the perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee. Had nice conversations by the river and in front of fire pit. Hot tub was the perfect place to end our exhausting day. We all enjoyed our stay very much, starting to plan our next year's trip. You can't go wrong with this place, it has everything you need and more. Absolutely recommend it!
