The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, living room, sunroom, stainless kitchen and a full length porch with outdoor dining for 10.

Guests can enjoy fishing, kayaking, swimming, and more just a few hundred feet from the front of the home! Or enjoy the river by just sitting on the edge of the river in the comfortable river chairs provided by River Perch.

Very enjoyable property.

Well kept and maintained property. First time with a river view and we all liked it. Two things convey better than expected, seclusion in nature and picturesque.

Absolutely fabulous

We wanted a change of pace/ scenery and found exactly that. If you’re used to the noise of a freeway then you will love the sound of the capacon river flowing right out front of this beautiful home. Glen did everything he could to make sure we had everything. House is very nice and comfortable.everything you need to enjoy a getaway is provided.The view of the river is priceless. Saw several eagles fly by and numerous other wildlife that made it spectacular. Bring binoculars to really enjoy the views. Glen gave us info on the local butcher and various places to check out. Local butcher does have best burger in town. We decided to grill all of our meals instead of going out.The fire pit by the river was where we spent our late afternoon and evening enjoying the outdoors. Simple,serene and very peaceful place. Highly recommend for a getaway. We stayed 3 nights. Would return in a heartbeat but will stay longer. Many thanks to Glen for his hospitality. He checked in a few times to make sure everything was going well. Absolutely perfect.

Great place to stay

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home on the river. Glenn is an amazing host that goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. He even gave my boys a tractor ride! The house felt new and so did everything inside. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks Glenn!
