Memorial Day weekend, we had a hotel already booked. When we got to the hotel there was spiders all over. We left that hotel with no where to go. We happened in on the Riverbend , which was booked but, he had a cabin right in the middle of town. We loved it. My grandchildren sat on the front porch... More

The room was clean, and the staff was friendly. The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable about the town. The motel was right by the river and with in walking distance of many shops and restaurants in Helen. All in all, it was a great place to stay!

We love this motel. A group of friends get together every year for a motorcycle trip to the mountains and stay with Mark at his motel. It is always clean and very comfortable and we love sitting by the river just talking and having a good time. Always a pleasure and looking forward to the next time we get to... More

Best location in Helen! Friendly and caring owner/operators make a big difference, too. Take time to walk down to the Chattahochee, just steps away from your room, and a nice big bench to rest on. Just very, very relaxing!

The week before Memorial Day we had the Riverbend cabins, the town of Helen, and nearby hiking trails almost to ourselves. A last-minute change in our arrival date was handled cheerfully and efficiently by Jay, who was as pleasant and helpful as other reviewers note. Our cabin with jacuzzi came with a riverview balcony and dozens of songbirds in surrounding... More

The pictures and price ($119 + tax for one night!) and all the glowing reviews made this look like a great spot to spend the night. After entering the room I almost walked out, but being Memorial Day weekend I didn't want to spend the rest of the day looking for a better hotel (many were sold out). First -... More

...and it was great! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean, neat, with a super comfy bed, awesome air conditioning, and a wonderfully hot shower. Perfect location for walking around Helen and the best river access! I'll be staying again in the future! J. O'Neal
