Our 2nd consecutive year here at B.E.N.T River retreat and we love it! Upgrades were added, like washer & dryer (best upgrade ever!) and direct TV in the living area. The size is perfect for our family and the private river access is unbeatable. We hope to return next summer to one of the larger homes in the back.

Not a bad place. Nice, pretty and quiet place to hang out with family and friends. We saw the management once when we checked in and got wristbands. We also had close to 30 people in our group, but rented all 4 houses and didn't have a problem at all. The river is a short walk from the main 2 houses and a little further for the other houses. The river was SUPER low when we went, but the little cove was perfect for hanging out and having a good time. Be sure to check the river flow before you head up here though. Some friends did a trip down the river but it took 6+ hours just to get through half of the trip and cut it short b/c they walked so much because the water was so low. AT&T is the only service you will get. No TV in cabin 4, so bring plenty of family games. Beds were not as comfy as you'd like after a long day on the river, but it's ok.

When I read some of the comments I couldn't figure out what was wrong ! We have been going to Bent River Retreat for 7 years . They do have a new manger. The manger explained that they tell you when you rent the max number of people and everyone that rents cabins knows every place has max number . So I for sure wouldn't be happy if the cabin beside me has 70 plus people partying and going to the river by the place I rented . I have stayed at the frio for 45 years every summer and have never had the police called on any of my family or friends so if you Have the police called on your group that should be a reality check. The frio is such a beautiful place and a place I dearly love please be respectful and clean up any trash in the river you may see because I want it stay this way !

Couldn't tell you how awful their service is. They need less than 1 star. They kicked my friends out with a 6 month old baby, without refunding their money. It was all because we parked in the grass, and they gave us less than 5 minutes to move.

- We were initially told to go to the wrong cabin and walked into someone else's cabin as they also pulled up to it.- The first night we had NO hot water and had to take cold showers, along with bathing a 5 year old, crying in the cold water. It turns out the breaker had not been turned on prior to our arrival.- There was no dish soap upon arrival or the following morning for three meal times so a lot of dishes had piled up.- There were a ton of dead roaches, beetles and bugs all around the cabin suggesting it had not been cleaned for a long time prior to our arrival.- The second bathroom toilet was leaking sewage, creating a huge inconvenience when there are two adults and a 5 year old, but also a very uncomfortable smell during the stay.- The Wifi access was nonexistent all weekend andno cellular service from carriers Verizon, AT&T or T Mobile.- When I presented this information to the hosts, no remedies were made or admissions of fault but rather a response that has left a sour taste in our mouths. Unacceptable customer service and poor quality.

The manager is SO unprofessional and rude. He came up to our cabin acting belligerent and flailing his arms around. We have been loyal customers for several years and this is how we were treated in return. The behavior of the manager was unacceptable! We will not be using them again. I do not recommend renting from them.

so we had a group of about 40 people.they came to our cabin and told us we had to leave in the middle of the night, told us they were calling the cops before we could even get up. then threatened us. we have a 6month old baby in the group and they have to cut their vacation short and drive 7-8 hours. to top it off they aren't giving anyone a refund.

My family has been staying here for years. It is a great family oriented place to vacation. We'll run very friendly owners and managers. I highly recommend B.E.N.T River Retreat.

Great place. Bbq pit small I'd bring your own. Sucks we couldn't bring people over during Sping break because we would get thrown out
