We had the best time! Everything about this house was perfect for us! It was so clean, comfortable and stocked well with everything you could need. We enjoyed the area and of course the casino. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay, we would definitely love to stay again when we visit the area!
The river house was a great stay for my friends and me! We definitely noticed lots of upgrades that we have not seen in other rentals- lovely window treatments, bedding, great kitchen supplies. The outdoor space was great and it was super quiet. We highly recommend!
The property is so clean and cozy and perfectly located for walking to town and the park. Very close to Soaring Eagle water park and Casino. Great location, adorable home and excellent communication with owners!
This was my second time here and I plan on coming back again! This is the spot! Close to soaring eagle casinowhich is what we go for. Plenty of food and convenience stores very close by.
We stayed here for a small getaway for a dart tournament at the casino and it was such a quiet stay and super close to everything. Definitely planning to book next year.
This property was immaculately clean, well-stocked, beautifully decorated, and comfy. Great location as well. We saw deer and a mole! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again.
Perfect house for my three girlfriends and I on a golf and casino get away. Close to several wonderful golf courses. I am a clean snob and this place was immaculate! We will be back!!

Update- I noticed my VRBO app is glitching when making reviews and even though I put '5-stars' after submission it shows I rated 4-star. I see this happened to you, Desiree and I'm so sorry. I did not mean to rate 4 on one of those fields and I'm looking into this with VRBO now as many of my other reviews have done the same thing.
(previous reply) So happy you had a great stay, Desiree! And we love to hear that the beds were cozy for you! We hope you book with us again.

Online listing was very accurate, house was very clean. We stayed in winter and had other plans, so weren't able to explore the park, outdoor seating areas, or the downtown; but would have loved to have had time to do those things. They looked very inviting. Would definitely stay again!
We stayed here 2 weekends for CMU gymnastics events. It was a great find for our family with small children. Cute and cozy. It had what we needed and more. Close to the park, downtown and CMU. Holly and her husband were very responsive and gracious. I’ve already recommended the house to other families and would definitely stay here again.
Such a cute house! Very clean. Great location. We stayed here for a girls weekend to the soaring eagle casino! I would do it again! No complaints!

The house was very nice and clean and Holly was very responsive. The house was decorated beautifully and there was even a welcome basket. The property was very clise to everything in town, but was still located in an area that gave you privacy. I would definitely book here again!
The host was amazing leaving a sweet treat for us! The house was very clean and decorated very cute. Close to CMU and casino along with many great spots to eat. Very quick to respond to questions when we had them. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay!

Thank you, Lisa🙏🏻 So happy you had a great stay! We’d love to have you back any time!
The house was perfect for our girls weekend! It is so nicely decorated and has all things you would need! The host even left a cute little welcome basket with goodies! The beds are comfortable too. The casino is a quick 10 minute drive, and we recommend Pisanello’s pizza for delivery! Yum! We for sure would book here again!

We had an amazing stay at the Blue River retreat.. it truly felt like a home away from home! The space was bright, well decorated, and cozy. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and with good quality, dinnerware, and a keurig pod coffee maker, and creamers to go with it as it added a touch. The beds were incredibly comfortable and felt well rested each morning. Evenings were relaxing, watching TV on the comfy sofa. We very much appreciated having a washer and dryer on our six night stay. . Island park is about two blocks from the house and each morning we would go for a walk in the beautiful park to start our day. It is a perfect secluded spot with nice relaxing lawn chairs with a fire pit for evenings to relax. Will definitely be staying here again.!
