About this property
Riverwood Rest Stop next to Ruoff, Koteewi & Grand Park
Tucked away in the charming, tree-lined neighborhood of Riverwood—originally built in the 1920s as a vacation sanctuary—this cozy bungalow offers the kind of riverside retreat that soothes the soul and sparks a sense of adventure. Minutes from downtown shopping, local parks, Purgatory Golf Club, concerts at Ruoff Music Center, and Grand Park sports complex, you're perfectly placed to explore... or to simply exhale and take in the view.
Feel instantly at home in this light-filled bungalow, perched above the river with wall-to-wall windows framing nature's tranquility. The open concept living space flows into a well-equipped kitchen, complete with an air fryer, spice rack, coffee bar, and all the essentials for easy meals or midnight snacks.
Two welcoming bedrooms await, stocked with fresh linens, extra blankets, and ceiling fans for your comfort.
Step onto the private deck surrounded by a cozy fence—ideal for morning coffee, riverside dinners, or sunset chats with loved ones.
Ready for an adventure? We've stocked the riverfront with kayaks, tubes, and a canoe for guests to enjoy the water at their own pace. From the moment you arrive, our goal is simple: offer the kind of stress-free environment you’ll remember long after your stay. We take pride in exceptional customer service, warm hospitality, and those thoughtful extras that transform your trip into a cherished memory.
Affordable. Peaceful. Personal.
Whether you're here to unplug or fill your schedule with adventure, we’d love to host you. Come see why Riverwood has been drawing travelers in for nearly a century—this time, with you in mind.

This place is fantastic! Very comfortable in every way: shower, bed and chairs. Everything you could possibly need is in the house for entertainment, cooking and cleaning (clothing). The hosts Mike & Nicole were very quick to respond and easy to contact. Highly recommend!
Very nice cottage with river view and access. Great outdoor space with plenty of seating areas, outdoor dining and shade. Home has quirky decor with lots of little extras such as games, snacks, and water equipment. Bathroom is small but clean and host provides travel toiletries in case you forgot something. Very clean, family friendly and good location near parks, river, reservoir, shops and dining. Highly recommend and hope to stay again when we are visiting family.
