Perfect place to relax

Our family had a wondeful time relaxing in the hot tub, on the deck, and down by the river. Rooms and beds were comfortable and spacious. Had to bring our own awning to go over the hot tub, as it is out in the open. Not a bad thing to say about this rental, and if we do come back to the area, will definitely stay again.

Everything you could want

Our family of 12 stayed here and had a wonderful time! Lots to do, cozy location, plenty of dining options nearby… we can’t say enough. In addition, the manager was very responsive to any questions that came up. Lots of great memories were made and we look forward to coming back again.

Perfect spot for rest and relaxation!

This was the perfect place for an extended stay (3 weeks). The house was well stocked, very clean, and with plenty of space and beds for all. The house stayed warm in sub zero temps, which was important for these Florida residents! :) The kids especially enjoyed the game room, while the adults loved having coffee by the wall of windows overlooking the river, complete with stunning views of snow and wildlife. (We were thrilled by the beaver that swims back and forth in front of the back porch!) The hot tub was a lovely addition. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and checked in with us every so often to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, we'd give 10 stars if we could. We will carry fond memories of this trip with us and will return to this River Retreat if we can!
