About this property

River Retreat with private apartment and deck on the beautiful Delaware River

Tranquil and relaxing best describes the lovely getaway treasure. Bordered by the
fully wooded Bulls Island State Park and the Delaware River with easy access to hiking, biking, kayaking and much more. Sit on the deck and watch the river and wildlife (there is a baldheaded eagles nest nearby, lots of dear, beaver, river otter, etc.) At sunrise the sky and river have a fantastic salmon-pink hue.

We were looking for a peaceful retreat along the river we have loved for many years. River Retreat provided that for us. We biked 40 miles along the towpath. Fished near Bulls Island. Ate at wonderful restaurants nearby. Sipping coffee in the morning listening to birds, crickets and watching the gentle river. Thank you Stu.

Clean and Comfy Cabin by the River

This location was great for our small crew of kayakers and eBikers. There were plenty of places to drop in kayaks along the river, and the eBike trail at the end of the driveway went for many, many miles.Stuart was very helpful and quickly answered all of our questions. The gardens were beautiful, and great to hang out by the fire when night time came.

The place was just like it shows. Very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. It was a surprise to find coffee and tea there which was nice to have to not worry about going out to get since our visit was a short weekend stay.

Just right for us

Quiet, peaceful, exceptional river views. Accurate description and comfortable space including room for adult kids to come and go. Hosts were attentive, accommodating and helpful. I would stay here again. It’s a bit distant from small towns for restaurants and shopping.

Wonderful River Retreat

Perfect spot on the Delaware River to celebrate my birthday and kayak and raft several laps on the Tohickon Creek whitewater release. Also rode our bikes to New Hope. House had everything we needed for an enjoyable 3 day weekend.

I rented this place according to pictures and reviews. This house apartment was filthy. I had to clean refrigerator before i put my food in. Kitchen appliances filthy, dirty spots on kitchen walls with some thing stuck on it. Black mold in 1 bedroom and bathroom. Dust on everything. A small used peice of soap for us to reuse in the shower. Icing on the cake was when my son found a mouse in his bed, and mouse droppings on the extra towels we were to use! I suffer with a serious immune deficiency from a stem cell transplant, and the conditions of this unit are dangerous for me to be around. The picture shown must be very old, because there is no clear view as shown, its covered in vines. I have stayed in many vrbo's, this was the worst. The add says to treat this as if it is your house, I do not live like this, its unacceptable.

Relaxing retreat with the Delaware River as my front yard.

Perfect getaway from the chaos of Covid-19. Bike path to Frenchtown in one direction, Stockton in the other. Wrap around deck to sit outdoors and enjoy the river and greenery all around.

Incredible River View

Just spent two cool, rainy nights here and it was still an incredible stay. The river was very high from all the rain and it was a delight to sit and watch it go by. The covered deck is comfortable and well appointed, the bedrooms were lovely, the kitchen small but perfect for our needs . Close to New Hope for dinner and window shopping. We will be back!!

River Retreat

If you are looking for peace and solitude - this is your spot! The back porch overlooking the river and all the wildlife is spectacular. The location was close to New Hope, Frenchtown, Lambertsville, Peddler's Village - so made venturing out very easy. We also discovered a walking trail alongside the property. Stuart was extremely easy to communicate with and if you are looking for privacy - he kept to himself. My mom and I never even saw him or his wife. Honestly I don't know how you can get a better location for a get away. We would highly recommend this home to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and river life as much as we do!

Great Location

River Retreat is a great secluded location with beautiful gardens, river views and access. The apartment is cute, and provides everything needed. The only negative was cleanliness. I am meticulous, and it was not up to my standard. Also, there were many bugs inside, after killing these, we did our best not to let any more in. I understand it is difficult to keep them out being by the river, when going in and out the door. Power washing the outside under the porch roof might help. Otherwise, we enjoyed the location very much.

Moldy bathroom, dirty kitchen.

Very dirty kitchen and bathroom. Serious amount of mold in bathroom. I think there are issues with the shower and toilet drains. When bringing to the attention of the host, he declined to clean. VRBO saw my pictures. Said it was not an issue. There was another mold in the bedroom. We would not use the shower and put towels on the floor in bathroom. Host refunded all our money, and vrbo canceled the listing. We went elsewhere the next day.

My family stayed here for a wedding in newtown. What a lovely apartment! It was a rainy cooler june weekend so we didnt get to enjoy the outdoor space as much but parts of the patio/deck was covered which was great. The pingpong table and some porch areas needed a sweep but otherwise it was delightful, clean, cozy. We’d stay here again.

The beds and covers were dirty. Same for pillows and carpets. I have been renting from vrbo for ten years, it is the first time I have rented such a dirty house. I ask vrbo to help me pay all my payments back.
