We really enjoyed our stay at Riverbend Sanctuary. Everything was as depicted and Lisa was great. A lot of personal touches made it feel very homey and relaxing, especially the river. Comfy beds too! Would definitely book again.

Lisa was a great partner, always available to offer guidance of where to go / what to do. The home is well appointed and cosy. Come rain or shine, it catered for our every need … hot tub, saunas, fire pits, bbq, family games etc. One of the best experiences was tubing right off the deck for a 90min ride down the river towards the iron bridge cafe. 2 adults and 3 kids together safely. Such a peaceful setting and is indeed a sanctuary on a river bend. One of our best spots we’ve booked (have lived in 6 different countries) and we will surely be back again at the next opportunity! Thanks Lisa, you have a very special home with plentiful supplies of ‘snuggliness’ and warm decor. We had a wonderful week there!

This place was my favorite cabin. I’ve rented in North Georgia. You can tell they’ve put a lot of thought time and care into their place! I’ve saved it so I can book it for our family in the future

One of the most beautiful places I’ve been stayed.. I could wake up in the mornings everyday to the view and sound of the creek.. definitely worth it and we will be back soon

We booked our stay at Riverbend Sanctuary as a last minute getaway. The place looked even better in person than it did in the photos (which looked great too). The sound of the river, the view of the river, and all of the places to sit and relax to enjoy it made this place amazing. The place was so comfortable and relaxing. We all really enjoyed our stay and are already talking about booking again. Lisa was a great host and was very responsive!
