Riverfront/Historic & Charming /Wrap Around Porch

The river has a way of calling us to it, of calling us back to ourselves and bringing us together. No matter where we're from, the river has a way of bringing us home again. The familiar sound of water cascading, the warmth of a campfire, and the way the grass feels on our skin brings back memories that never quite leave us.

I give my guests space but am available when needed.

The river has a way of calling us to it, of calling us back to ourselves and bringing us together. No matter where we're from, the river has a way of bringing us home again. The familiar sound of water cascading, the warmth of a campfire, and the way the grass feels on our skin brings back memories that never quite leave us. Certain memories bring us comfort and peace, others take us back to our childhood, some memories make us smile and laugh so that we forget what it was that was troubling us. The river, like a favorite memory, has the ability to transport us.

The River House is a historic homestead from the late 1800s with all the charm and coziness of home. This welcoming vacation getaway is the perfect place for families and friends to gather. The wrap around covered porch overlooks the river and is a much-loved spot for morning coffee and bird watching. Wake up to the sight of the sun coming up over the river, all of the bedrooms have excellent water views. The kitchen offers plenty of room for gathering around the table to share meals together or play board games. Tell campfire stories or roast marshmallows around the riverside fire pit. The large, grassy area by the river is a perfect place for kids to play, and guests can fish right from the bank.

The River House is full of character and good memories. It has sat beside these ancient waters for more than a century and is still here today waiting to welcome each of us home to the river.
