The 'River House' is a secluded sanctuary that offers inviting spacious living areas and two cozy bungalows. The Main House includes a great room with spectacular views of the Elk River and inter-coastal waterway, while two bungalows both offer more bedrooms and sun porches to enjoy the lovely breezes, views of the river and breathtaking sunsets. Enjoy the peacefulness of fishing from the dock or a beautiful day out on the magnificent river. Book Now, Serenity Awaits!

This is the perfect location for the multi family reunions, gatherings, and getaways. The ample grounds are ideal for wiffle ball, badminton, volleyball, horseshoes, and picnics. An intimate beach provides swimming, boating, and jet skiing, or just basking in the sun and napping in the hammock. There is excellent rock fish (striper) fishing or crabbing off the end of the 100 foot dock. In the evening, the kids can roast marshmallows in the fire pit and then pitch a tent and sleep under the stars. If you're looking for the perfect place for a guys weekend, a girls retreat, or a getaway for the whole family, you'll love the 'River House' !

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot
Dennis’s property was everything we needed. We had plenty of room for our 14 people. The separate houses were nice to give the infants and their parents a place to retreat to. The older kids loved the great room with the juke box where they could look out for boats. The house was well stocked which made it perfect for preparing our Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks Dennis!!

Family Vacation
The property was perfect for our group. We had 2 families (15 people) so the 3 different houses worked perfect for us. Dennis was very responsive when we had an issue with a water heater. the issue was fixed that day. The Brophy' Family

Great Family Vacation
The property was wonderful! The three homes were extremely clean and well furnished. The owners, Dennis and Carol, checked in with us and were so kind. There is a sandy beach that the young ones could dig in the sand and a dock that we used for fishing. This was by far the best vacation rental we have ever had.
