This is not just a home: it's a destination. No other vacation home in Georgia (so far as we know) offers the amenities you will find at Riverbend Retreat. The home is an island of privacy not far from the town center. It's in a secluded, wooded neighborhood with a golf course on one side and the Oconee River on the other. Once you get here, you'll likely feel like you're away from everything . . even though just about everything is still close by. Athens and the surrounding area have a lot to offer: good restaurants, campus events, axe throwing, mini-bowling, a ghost tour, an escape room, a huge park with fishing, horseback riding, and trails, kids' play areas, putt-putt golf, an amusement park, and historical homes from as back as the 1840's. As for the home itself, it's *directly across the street* from UGA golf course and in easy driving distance from UGA (2 miles), grocery stores (3 miles), Five Points (4 miles), and many restaurants. On game days, it is possible to walk on foot (3.4 miles) to Stanford Stadium. The neighborhood is also great for walking and jogging. Be careful of cars, as it is hilly and wooded, making it hard to see around bends. We'd love to have you visit, and if you have any questions, we're to here to help. We hope you visit soon.
