I was not particularly fond of the moldy dirty bathroom. Also everything in the kitchen, including the dishes in the pots and pans was covered with the layer of dust. The refrigerator and the freezer were both moldy the stairs going down to the water were very rickety and unsafe.. The beds were hard as rocks

River House Retreat

We really loved being right on the river. The grand girls liked being tucked away in the upstairs loft room at night and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Our hostess could not have done more to make us feel welcome and assisted quickly in our requests for supplies for our longer stay.

Just What We Needed

Our stay at the river house was amazing. The space itself was well stocked, it was clean, the beds were comfy, and the view was beautiful! Our dog loved roaming around the yard and park picking up all of the scents:) Check in was simple and communication with Dorothy was smooth from start to finish. We loved it and look forward to another visit!!

Quiet and peaceful getaway

The little house on the river is very homey and cozy. The river view from the windows is amazing. So many stars to gaze at during the night and the peaceful flow of the river washes away all your worries. Great place for a couples getaway or a family gathering. Dorothy the host was amazing. Very attentive and kind. I would certainly stay again. The house is very close to springs and very country. Just what I was looking for. Thanks again for opening your home to a lovely vacation.

Riverside getaway

My wife and i wanted to spend our 5 year anniversary somewhere quiet surrounded by nature, i will say we were so impressed with the property, not only was the living quarters beautiful but the location on the river was an anglers paradise, while we were there we caught 3 different species of fish, enjoyed some great dinner and at night got to gaze up at the stars, i would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a great getaway!!

Spectacular!!!

My partner rented this place as a surprise for my 40th birthday and what a wonderful surprise it was!!!! 😍 This house is so cozy! The decor is just adorable and feels so much like home. Very private and right on the river. Very little traffic and we stayed Memorial day weekend! Do not hesitate to stay here. Dorothy is so kind. We called to let her know we were heading out and she could not be sweeter. Will be staying here again as much as possible. Next time may be bringing our adult children with us as we know they would enjoy. 10/10! Cannot say enough nice things!!!! Absolutely fabulous birthday! ❤️
