We loved our stay here! Very clean and easy check-in. Well stocked kitchen and the information binder was greatly appreciated. Saw mama deer and her babies every morning! A short walk into town as well as the Swinging Bridge. Nice quiet neighborhood. About 10 minute drive to Lexington & a 20 minute drive to Port Sanilac. Thanks for a lovely 5 days!

Excellent communication with host. Property had many nice “extra touches” like warming towel racks and heat lamps in the bathroom, two electric fireplaces, canoes (with good lifejackets!), an outdoor fire pit with great chairs, and even a guitar with a tuner! Fabulous place for a peaceful getaway in a friendly small town! Two thumbs up from my husband and our college and high school boys!

Nice home at the end of the street, very private and quiet. Very close to downtown Croswell and short drive to Lexington. Was planning on having two adult women in a room, but they had a double bed and a twin mattress underneath the bed which wouldn’t fit in the room had to move it to a different room which would be my only complaint. Otherwise, nice place.

I'm sorry you had a hard time with the bed situation. We've never had that problem before and the trundles get used quite often. As stated in the listing there are 4 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms with trundles, I'm surprised to hear neither of them worked. Also the couch can easily be converted to a large bed. I'm surprised to hear non of that worked for you. You had 5 guests on your reservation, if in fact you had only 5 guests, that should have been plenty of sleeping options even if 1 trundle was a problem. I ask any guests reading this response to this review, if you ever have any problems with the trundles -or anything for that matter- reach out to me and it will be addressed immediately. Either way, I hope you still managed to enjoy your stay.

Memorable Riverbend House Retreat!

My family (me, my husband & 3 kids - 2, 4 and 6 yrs), we had a great time at the riverbend house! The location is perfect. Walkable to a little downtown in Croswell where there is a little market and ice cream shop. Lexington is only 10 minutes away to access the beach, shops and restaurants. The house itself was very comfortable, plenty of space both inside and out. The house is the last on the street, right up against the Black River. Very quiet and peaceful. We saw lots of great wildlife, which the children loved. We walked to the splash pad several times. All around a very nice stay!

Great property

Great spot on the river, beautiful grounds with river access for fishing/canoeing. A short walk to a cute park, small downtown area. The house was clean and nicely decorated. Unfortunately a well tank failed just prior to our arrival and we were left without air conditioning and one of the toilets. Owner tried to rectify and was in frequent communication with us, but the problem could not be fixed during our stay, so it was quite muggy and sticky - especially upstairs. The owner did offer a partial refund if we had chosen to depart early, but we had nowhere else to stay. Thankfully she did refund us a small portion of the stay for our inconvenience.

Thank you for staying with us and I hope to have you back. . You were excellent guests. Any host would be lucky to have you. The well is fixed as of this morning and everything is working as it should. I'm so sorry I couldn't remedy the problem sooner. Thanks again and I really do hope to get the opportunity to make your stay absolutely perfect in the future! Carrie

We had an amazing stay with our family of eight! The home was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked, even though we didn’t end up using much of it, it was nice knowing anything we needed was there. The living room was large enough for everyone to gather comfortably, and the kitchen was perfect for all of us to cook together. The outdoor space was one of our favorite parts. The back deck was wonderful for relaxing, and the fire pit was beautifully placed for spending evenings together. My grandson had never been fishing before, and thanks to the canoe and easy access to the water, he caught several fish and absolutely fell in love with fishing! We could hardly get him to stop. The location couldn’t have been better. The splash pad is only about a three-minute walk away, and there was so much to see and do. We enjoyed watching all the wildlife—deer, rabbits, squirrels, Canadian geese, a woodchuck, a skunk, and even all the kayakers floating down the river. It made for such a peaceful and memorable getaway. The only thing worth mentioning—and it’s not a reflection on the host because it’s likely out of their control—is that the house had a bit of a musty smell. Several of us have allergies, and it seemed to bother about half of our group. Also, because the property is visited by Canadian geese, there was goose droppings around outside, but again, that’s simply nature and not something the host can really prevent. Overall, the BEST!

I'm glad you had a nice family time at our Riverbend Retreat and were able to fully enjoy all that the property and area has to offer 😊 I'm sorry you experienced issues with a musty smell. It's more than likely due to the GeoThermal air conditioning system. It's been a hot summer so the system has been working overtime and sounds like in need of a replaced filter, a simple fix! In the future, reach out immediately- we have a great GeoThermal company that is usually always available. I'm happy to hear that you had a memorable family time and your grandson has a new found love for fishing!! Hope to have you back 😊

The house was situated in a quaint area right on the river. It was peaceful and enjoyable to sit outside. Short walk to small downtown area and park and easy drive to Lexington. The house had nice amenities and ample space for the six of us staying there. House was clean and the welcome basket a nice touch. Everything was as advertised.
