“Won't stay anywhere else in Helen”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

This is the second time I've stayed at Riverbend and won't stay anywhere else when visiting Helen. We stayed in one of their cabins each time and absolutely love them. The cabins are right on the river, have a balcony to sit outside and enjoy the view, a fireplace, kitchen with everything you need, couch, TVs, comfortable bed and the cabins are very clean and spacious. Mark, the owner, was very accommodating and helpful. His recommendations for places to visit and where to eat were perfect. The location is within walking distance to the main street in Helen. You can't go wrong staying here.

“Our Favorite ( Only) Place to Stay In Helen, GA”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

We visit Helen GA at least 4 times a year. This is the only place we stay. Mark and Geeta do everything they can to make it a good experience. The rooms are nicely furnished, clean, and so comfortable. Housekeeping is prompt, thorough, and accomodating. Once we park we can walk everywhere. LOVE THIS PLACE!!

Room Tip: We have been fortunate to make reservations far enough in advance that we always get the same room...

“Fabulous service, great location, and comfy beds!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013 via mobile

Always stay at the Riverbend Motel! The owner is great! He even squeezed us in his last available room because we were a walk in. The bed was so comfortable! The room was very clean! We've been staying there for years in summer and winter! It's a great location to walk around down town without paying for parking! The rooms are newly remodeled and very nice!

“Enjoyable getaway!!!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2013

I visit Helen a few times a year, and what makes my little getaways feel so much better is the management and staff @ The Riverbend Motel and Cabins. The accommodations are so clean and well keep.it's in the perfect location to down town and walking distance to most things. Management is awesome. They are so friendly and the recommendations of owner Mark are very reliable. I recommend anyone who plans on a visit to Helen, is to stay at The Riverbend establishments. It will make your stay 100 % better. Thank you Mark for making my stay so memorable. Kim Stargell, Greenwood,SC
