We stayed one night at Riverbend during a recent hiking trip. We do this often and we are familiar with the lodgings in Helen but this was our first stay here. Riverbend is a diamond in the rough. They are in the process of renovating the property inside and out which appears near completion. This review is based on how... More

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for a weekend getaway, and this place is amazing. The rooms are great. flat screen tvs, fridge, microwave. Hot water( and I do mean hot) when showering. Walking distance to downtown helen to enjoy the sites. Also the river is right in front. They had swings there sitting right on the waters edge. Where... More

The Owner takes great pride in providing a pleasant stay and goes above and beyond. He gave us good recommendations on where to eat. Voluntarily offered parking at his establishment after Check-out to avoid Helen's parking fees. We stayed in Cabin #2. Everything is clean and well maintained. Nice view of the river perfect for couples who like to be... More

My fiance and I came to Helen for the weekend to celebrate our birthdays. One of his co-workers had recommended Riverbend to us and we were not disappointed. The owner was very friendly and truly cared about how our stay was and is more than helpful with information about the town. We had initially reserved a room at the motel... More

This is a locally owned "mom and pop's" type motel in Helen, GA. The owner is one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. You can tell he genuinely cares that you have an enjoyable stay. The price was great, $59.99 plus tax for a Saturday night... Can't beat that!! The location of this motel is incredible, just... More

First time visiting Helen, Georgia and the first time staying at Riverbend. Visiting from Tennessee on a girls retreat and everything was beyond our expectations!!!! Mark and Sandra were super and made you feel like you were at home. Riverbend is centrally located to the shopping and restaurants. The rooms were nice, updated furnishings...flat screen tv, pillow top beds and... More

We stayed the weekend of Jan. 13-15, 2012. We had read all the reviews before calling, so we decided to stay here at Riverbend. Once we arrived we were greeted by a very nice gentleman named Mark. We went up to the room and it was very clean and he had turned the heat on for us, which we loved... More

We were looking for a quick 3 day weekend getaway after the holiday rush. We had been to Helen, GA for anniversary trips in March a few times but had never been there in mid-winter and wasn't sure how much there would be to do and didn't want to spend lots of money for a room and then have nothing...

We've stayed in several hotels while visiting Helen -- but never anything as nice as the Riverbend. Mark, the on-site manager, called right after we got to our room to see if it was meeting our expectations....way above my expectations. Flat screen TV, beautifully decorated room in neutral colors with a cornice board recessed ceiling. The bed was comfortable, no... More
