Beautiful place, enjoyed our stay. Location is perfect for hiking the trails. We will plan a biking trip next at Spirit Mountain. We did the Alpine roller coaster this year. Recommend OMC for dinner and Burnt Dairy less than a block away has great food and wonderful selection of snacks.

We had a great stay at RiverWest Retreat. The house was clean, the beds and pillows were super comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We also really enjoyed the large living space for our family to gather at the end of the day. The kids games were a nice touch as well since we were traveling with little kiddos. The location was good but I would recommend having a car as it’s about a 10-15 minute drive to Canal Park or to the Lincoln Park Craft District.

Christmas Vacation

I am so grateful I found RiverWest Vacation Rentals, specifically RiverWest Retreat, when looking for a place for my family to stay over Christmas. The kitchen is complete with all of the things you need. There were plenty of towels, the beds were comfortable. The sauna was a great addition. There was plenty of space for all of us plus our family dog. We absolutely loved it! It was the perfect Christmas vacation! We most definitely will be staying here again!

Lovely house, in a quiet picturesque neighborhood. I loved the decorations and how well stocked the kitchen was with supplies. It made a wonderful home base for 8 runners on Grandma's weekend. The host was very flexible as the guest numbers keep changing leading up to the stay.

Pure Paradise

The RiverWest Retreat was everything we hoped it would be. The floor plan is amazing, especially if you need a respite. The primary suite on the bottom floor is large, quiet, and away from the rest of the sleeping quarters. We were able to witness the most beautiful sunrises from our deck while sipping our morning coffee. The unit is well appointed and incredibly clean. The kitchen is complete with all of the things you need to make great meals. We absolutely loved it. It was a perfect weekend.

Fall colors

Great stay - 6 adults and one baby. Loved the king beds in all rooms. Each couple had own bathroom. Kitchen well equipped. Be aware lots of stairs, we brought baby gates. Easy access to trails. Great food and drinkeries just 8 minutes down the road in Lincoln Park. We preferred Lincoln Park over Canal Park for food/night out.

no snow

We came to ski at Spirit MT, which we could see from our rental window. Bur the weather Gods were not in favor of that plan. We did however, enjoy the Bentleyville holiday lights, the aquarium and the train museum. While we disappointed because of the lack of snow we made the best of it. The unit was great. It had games, plenty of seating area and was close to all the sites we visited.

Absolutely fantastic!

Stayed at RiverWest Retreat recently with a group of 8. What an amazing experience! The home is absolutely beautiful, the kitchen is well stocked with anything you could need, the beds are comfortable and there's a sauna that several of us took advantage of. Everyone in our group raved about the home, how nice it was and about the location. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely book this home again!
