Delightful River and Sea View House

The River House is a very lovely property with all the amenities. The house functions extremely well for multiple people with all en-suite bathrooms, ample storage/closets, well stocked kitchen, and sweet little deck. Extra perks include games, bikes, 2 washer and dryers, workspace niche, and a welcome bottle of wine. The house was immaculate but we did need to supply our own linens (and tissues?)which we must have missed in the description- but I have yet to figure out where to find that info on the listing…There was some forgetfulness via the owner about booked dates which resulted in a surprise walk in visit and a lag in response regarding a check in question but it wouldn’t deter me from booking this wonderful property again! Truly a great place to stay and highly recommended despite a few hiccups.

An absolute dream

This house was an absolute dream. It’s where I got ready for my wedding, where I put my dress on for the first time with my mom and grandma, and where our entire family made so many cherished memories. We used the bikes, went on so many walks through the neighborhood, rented kayaks and kayaked right outside the house, played board games in the living room, cooked countless family dinners. It truly was so special. I loved it so much I cried on the last day, happy tears of course. I hope we’ll be renting it again in the near future.

About the host

Hosted by Marilyn Mohrman-Gillis

I and my husband Jack built the River House in 2014 on waterfront property that has been in Jack's family since 1925. It was lovingly designed by our daughter who is an architect in NYC. We live in Chevy Chase, MD and treasure family vacations in the Riverhouse with our 4 adult children and their spouses. Jack and I have spent much of our professional careers in executive positions in non-profit organizations. We are thrilled to share our unique home, with its beautiful amenities and breathtaking water views, with others who are seeking a tranquil, picturesque get away.

Why they chose this property

The River House is located on Mill Creek, a tidal river that flows into Nantucket Sound on the elbow of Cape Cod. Stunning water views (of Mill Creek and Nantucket Sound) are available from many rooms in the light-filled home. The tidal marsh is a bird watcher's paradise at low tide, featuring blue heron, snowy egret and osprey. At high tide it is perfect for a swim or kayak to Nantucket Sound. It is an easy .9 mile walk (or 4 minute drive) to the closest beach, close to a system of bike trails in and around Chatham, within walking distance to a leading gourmet restaurant, an easy drive to the quaint town of Chatham, full of boutique stores, restaurants and bars, and close to many beautiful beaches in and around Chatham, including the stunning National Seashore.

What makes this property unique

The River House is truly a unique home in a unique spot. Even in the middle of the busiest season for the Cape, the River House provides a tranquil and peaceful getaway for our guests. The stunning river, marsh and Nantucket Sound views change daily with the weather and tides. One vista from the River House is a charming turquoise blue boathouse that was an original icehouse used by fishermen in 1925 and is frequently painted by local artists.
