We were so happy with our stay. Joanne has thought of every detail to make Rojo's Riverside Retreat an easy choice for a rental. The kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms are supplied with all the necessities plus amenities you might have forgotten. Great mattresses and pillows! VERY clean! The patio, and river view were the cherry on top. Dexter is the cutest little town (a short walk from the house to lots of dining options!).

We had the absolute pleasure of staying in this beautiful home on the river in Dexter, just a few houses down from where Ron grew up—making this trip feel extra special and full of nostalgia. The house itself was stunning: peaceful, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with every detail in place to make our stay comfortable and memorable.What truly made this experience stand out, though, was the host. They went above and beyond to ensure everything we could possibly need was available—and then some. Their warmth and hospitality were deeply appreciated, and we can’t express enough gratitude for not only discovering this gem of a home but also for having such incredible hosts.We’ll be recommending this place to everyone we know, and we can’t wait to come back. Thank you for everything!GO BLUE!〽

Weekend Getaway

We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay! Spectacular view, every comfort provided, little touches that made us feel like special guests. Joanne was warm and welcoming and quick to answer a question or offer a helpful resource. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, the gas fireplace, bird watching, and cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. The house is just a quick walk to downtown Dexter but the riverside location made it feel like we’re out in the woods. Couldn’t ask for anything more - we’ll definitely be back!

Spring break 2024

It was sparkling clean. The kitchen was better equipped than my own. The linens and beds were all first-class. The house had soft water which was a wonderful treat. The owner was very accessible and responsive to questions and requests. The view of the Huron River from the kitchen and living room is spectacular. We will definitely stay there again!!

Amazing hostess, amazing home!

My family of 4 stayed at the super cute and exceptionally clean property for 8 nights while we explored Dexter/Ann Arbor/Chelsea for a home scouting trip (due to work relo). The hostess, Joanne, literally has thought of every possible creature comfort a guest could need and has it waiting for you:- Bonfires on the back patio- Hot tub- Soaking in the river with tubes & shade umbrellas- S’more kit (I’m sorry my kids ate the chocolate bars after they discovered the kit location!) - Snacks galore- Everything you could possibly need to cook; well-stocked kitchen.The living quarters are immaculate with a phenomenal river view, and the apartment is a pristine example of mid-century life. The a/c was great as the week we were there was unusually hot and humid. Access to the river is easy from the back patio but best to supervise children. River depth is wadeable but the flow during our visit was swift and water level 2ft or so higher than normal due to recent heavy rains. Saw lots of wildlife! Downtown Dexter is easily walkable and pleasant. Ann Arbor is just a 12-15 min drive, same with Chelsea in the opposite direction. My youngest attended a couple of horse shows in Waterloo while we were there, too, just 25 min away.Joanne’s communication is top notch - she goes above and beyond to ensure you make the most of your stay at RoJo’s riverside retreat. We highly recommend - very much a 5-star experience for families with tween/teens. Thank you, Joanne!
