5 / 5 RATING ON WEDDING WIRE

“I really enjoyed my time here. The property made for beautiful wedding pictures, and the staff members were really helpful and accommodating.” – Rhya

FACEBOOK REVIEW

“I may be a little biased, but this is the most beautiful venue I’ve ever been to. From the moment I saw the barn chapel, I knew that is where we would get married. I loved all of the string lights everywhere on the property and the overall rustic feel. Another thing that sold me was that they have a lot of decorations available that we could use for the ceremony and reception. All of the tables, chairs, and linens were included with venue rental. I think the only thing that we had to bring in were the flowers…” – Ashley

FACEBOOK REVIEW

“Very nice! Very clean and beautiful! We got home this morning and my niece, Emma, (8 years old) had written the following in her journal. I think she said it perfectly. “A very cool cabin! It has an upstairs and everything! My Dad and stepmom had their wedding in Hiawassee. If you plan a wedding, go to Hiawassee! When you have time for a trip, go to the Retreat at Hiawassee, you will never want to leave! It would be a great place to splash in the river in the summer.” – Dawn

5 / 5 RATING ON WEDDING WIRE

“We used Hiawassee’s River Retreat for our wedding venue and absolutely loved it! It is so incredibly beautiful! The staff was so willing to help and make things as easy as possible- knowing that wedding days are incredibly stressful! I would recommend this venue to anyone, for any event!” – Amy
