Jason T. Dec 16, 2024 06:46:41 AM
Summary: Our stay at the River House was everything we hoped it would be for our Thanksgiving visit. It’s a tranquil setting along the river and plenty of amenities for the kids and adults. Sharon and Bob are consummate hosts. We hope to stay again on our return visit.
Chris B. Dec 9, 2024 07:23:18 AM
Summary: House was in the country but less than 15 mins from restaurants and shops. The host was quick to respond to questions and had little touches around the house to make our stay easier (I.e. fire starters and lighters for the outdoor fire pit, stuff for s’mores in the fridge, etc.). The kids enjoyed fishing in the creek, relaxing in the hot tub, and playing pool. I definitely recommend this spot.
Heather H. Oct 16, 2024 11:28:16 PM
Summary: The property was exactly as was described: beautiful location, comfortable. Communication with the owners was very fast & super helpful. The owners take great pride in their home & have gone above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The home was very clean & well taken care of. We really appreciated the small touches that were supplied by the owners like ample paper products, trash bags, s’more fixings & even shampoo & soap in the event you forgot to bring some with you!😀
