We enjoyed our stay here with extended family. The yard and river front access was amazing. Lots of space to run, play, relax and enjoy nature. The house is older (style and furnishings) but met all our needs and then some. The game room was fantastic as was the large diningroom table and ample bedrooms. We had 8 kids in our party and they loved the "sleeping porch", a giant room that had enough space and beds for all of them! The host was so helpful and communicative throughout our stay. We will definitely return again!

Our families enjoyed a wonderful week at River Affairs in July. The house easily accommodated the 12 of us--6 adults, 6 kids ages 7 through 17. We had plenty of sleeping space, shared meals around a large dining room table. The kids had a blast in the basement game room. We took full advantage of the location along the river and utilized outdoor equipment provided with the house: kayaks, canoe, tubes, lounge chairs. We even did a little fishing. We made s'mores at the large fire pit a couple of nights. Host Amy was very gracious in helping us with our only challenge during the week--the well. A memorable week for the twelve of us!

This is a fun, funky old camp-style house in a beautiful setting. We had a problem with the water pressure and Amy was really great about helping us to work through it. Not for someone looking for 5* luxury, but if you enjoy character it is a great place to stay.

In size and in style, the house has a family vibe. You can feel the presence and joy of those who lived here. Huge, rambling, cozy, inviting. The house is a little rough around the edges, it could use a little paint. We have rented for several years.

I let Penny know prior to arrival that it wouldn't stop raining and because of that the painting of the house had been delayed. The river was so high the dock frame was under water and the top couldn't be installed. The Spring 2025 had massive rain and some flooding in the area :(

Wonderful Riverside Retreat

We had 8 guests total for a trip to western NY. I chose this home as it had plenty of sleeping quarters and room in general. The home is somewhat secluded, although there are several very quiet neighbors surrounding. The kitchen and living areas were spacious, with plenty of utensils and dishes, and the game room on the basement and the river and firepit behind the property are wonderful outdoor touches. Overall, and wonderful stay and a lovely place.

The River Affairs property served our family very well! The substantial size of the property made it private and relaxing. We enjoyed some wonderful family time sunbathing, swimming, fishing, kayaking, along with yard games and then in the evening we would enjoy our time circled around a bonfire. The house is as equally spacious as the property is and is well equipped and met all of our needs. Everyone, young and old found enjoyment in the game room with the many activities it offers. My personal favorite was the very large dining room table that allowed our three generation family to sit down and enjoy meals together in one place. The owner was very helpful and made it known that she was readily available if needed. We would most definitely stay here again! Great experience!

Returning guests

We were guests last year with our children and grandchildren. Everyone had a great time so we returned. The property offers something for all ages and interests. Fishing, kayaking and boating is excellent, Spacious inside and out. Many little perks: AC, rec room, lots of tables for activities, large dining table, dock, and plenty of room for gather and creating family memories. Just need to be aware that geese wander onto the property and leave droppings.

Perfect Place for a Family Getaway

Amy’s riverside cottage was PERFECT for our family getaway. The rustic feel of the cottage made it feel like we were at home. The property was spread out so when we needed space we had it. The extra things included it the property also made it very comfortable for our stay, most importantly the high chair for our infant and the large amount of toys and puzzles for our toddler. Aside from that, the game room in the basement made for great entertainment when the weather wasn’t ideal. Furthermore, the fishing just off the dock was some of the best. Every cast of your fishing rod guaranteed a beautiful fish. Definitely a for sure diamond in the rough if looking for a perfect place for a large family to get together.

Was a beautiful place and a great time with the family!

Not happy about being charged extra for cig butts in and around the fire pit. Was never in the contract that we would be charged and to be consider that to be property damage is unheard of. Trying to get an understanding on this is difficult and we took out extra insurance for any accidental property damage just because you never know and that didn’t cover it we were still charged extra.

I am glad you find it " beautiful" as mentioned in your review. Imagine if all my guest left litter behind, it wouldn't be so enjoyable. Cigarette butts are mentioned in the lease and reviewed in person. Most people get the point. We don't take kindly to butt litter. It was well known you were expected to pick up your butts. You and your family assured me it wouldn't be an issue, 20 butts later it became an issue. I continued to find more after I sent you the video.

Great for 3 generations of family

We were looking for a home with swimming and other activities to keep a family gathering occupied. Also, the bed configuration/number of bedrooms was important and this place got the bill. So glad we listened to all the other positive reviews - this place was loads of fun and Amy goes above and beyond my expectations as a host! Everything we needed to make full use of the property was there - from life jackets to firestarters. The A/C units worked great (it was a very hot week in August) and the kiddos in our group loved the game room and the books and toys provided. Yes, you have to deal with nature and that includes looking out for goose poop but anyone knocking stars off a review for that probably didn’t enjoy all the vintage fun this place had to offer. So many of the older (perfectly maintained and functional) items were an enjoyable “blast from the past”. We all enjoyed our time there and we thank Amy for sharing her home with us!
