We had an amazing time. Look at several beautiful waterfalls, hiking some great trails. I had a great time trout fishing. Caught my limit within a couple hours the cabins are perfectly furnished and excellently cleaned, and that goes for the whole property. Even the bear was cute. Looking forward to coming back.

Classic stay
The cottage was absolutely what I was hoping for. We did a Mother/Son hiking trip to blood mountain. My son loved the outdoor swings at the cottage. And the fold out couch was perfect size and super cozy by the fireplace. If you stay here highly recommended taking the Hilton Creek road to see the falls… truly was a hidden gem right in the backyard of the cottage.

Swings and S'mores!
This is our third stay at the Rise Retreat and we have loved it every time. I enjoyed the scenery and peacefulness at the property. My kids loved the new swings, we made s'mores at one of the fire pits and enjoyed some time in Blairsville. We had family staying in another cabin so it was nice to spend time on our own and also be able to cabin hop and hang out in a bigger group. The game room at the lodge was also a hit with everyone. The cabin was very clean and stocked with anything you might need. Thanks for another memory!
Housekeeping was subpar. Stove burners were filthy and microwave had spilled food inside. Floors especially under bed had dust balls. I am especially picky when it comes to cleanliness These details would not prevent me coming and staying again
