Please drive with INCREDIBLE care on Riverbend Pkwy. We count on you to keep yourselves and our neighbors safe. There are short lines of sight around bends and hills, and children play in the street.

The Retreat is a tranquil property in a nice neighborhood. Out of respect for our wonderful neighbors, please keep outdoor noises low.

WILD PARTIES:
Responsible gatherings are permitted and encouraged, but wild parties are not allowed. Any guest who hosts or allows an event/party without prior approval will incur a fine equal to the whole cost of their booking and their booking will be immediately terminated without refund.

REGULAR GATHERINGS/EVENTS:
We genuinely appreciate responsible gatherings and are usually delighted to host them! Game nights, wedding rehearsals, team retreats, family reunions, and more... So long as your planned party or event doesn't involve outdoor noise or any rule violations, only includes the guests you initially book for, and is unlikely to disturb our neighbors, it is automatically approved. No need to seek prior permission in such cases. Please feel free to reach out to us and ask if you are not sure.

The 9-seater hot tub (with 75" smart TV beside it) is amazing. 95 degrees tends to be a good setting for long soaks in cool weather, or 104 for short ones. Please set it however you like.

If you're looking for a single-night booking on a weekend, please message us to inquire, as the calendar will not allow it to be booked automatically.

Christmas Getaway
Loved the location and the ability to get down to the river and explore it and around the neighborhood. After a rough couple of months, we wanted room to spread out and enjoy each other over the holiday. This property offered so many activities to keep my grandkids busy - hot tub, movie theater and game room - until they received their gifts Christmas morning.

Thanksgiving in Athens
This property is beautiful! It is near everything in Athens and perfect for large families. We hosted our family’s Thanksgiving there this year and hated to leave. The kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms are cozy and comfy and the game room can entertain people of all ages. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful home!

About the host

Hosted by Richard

Host profile image
I'm a Georgia native, Mercer and Duke grad, nature-lover and professional host. I value family, good relationships, peaceful weekends, and doing my bit to make the world better.

Why they chose this property

Athens is an exciting city! Full of forests and hills, it holds all kinds of academic life and interesting events. I'm proud to host at one of Athens' most elite properties, and I think my guests will have a wonderful time there.

What makes this property unique

From the first time I saw it, I thought Riverbend Retreat felt and looked like a colonial mansion. As a boy, I often enjoyed family reunions with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, all spending time together in big houses or resorts. I also enjoyed church and college retreats with large groups, where I formed close bonds with my peers and made good memories. With its many beds, gathering areas, river-view, and games, I think Riverbend Retreat is the perfect place for large groups (say, 6 or more people) to hold their gatherings, so you can form connections and memories that last all your life.
