RiverView Retreat – Where Classic Charm Meets Coastal Comfort
River View Retreat on the Bay
Welcome to River View Retreat — your serene escape on the beautiful Taunton River. Just steps (less than 20 feet!) from the water’s edge, this peaceful haven offers stunning bay views, a brand new deck, and a comfortably furnished home perfect for unwinding and reconnecting with nature. Watch the seabirds, feel the ocean breeze, and enjoy the sights and sounds of local wildlife from sunrise to sunset.
This retreat is ideal for boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and exploring. The expansive 20,000 sq ft fenced-in lot includes a private saltwater shell beach, perfect for relaxing in the sun or shade, grilling with friends, or lounging on the new brick patio overlooking the bay.
Take a scenic walk just one mile down the road to Pearce’s Beach — a local favorite featuring a giant new red slide that kids will love!
Local Favorites:
Somerset Creamery: Known for the best ice cream in town
Aucklair’s Market: A top-notch local butcher with an impressive selection
As a special bonus, when you book with us, you’ll receive a $100 gift card to our family-owned restaurant, Agoro’s Pizza Bar & Grill, proudly serving the community since 1984. Come enjoy our delicious, mouth-watering menu — a local favorite for over 40 years!
Centrally Located:
20 minutes to Providence, RI
25 minutes to Newport, RI
45 minutes to Cape Cod
55 minutes to Boston, MA
Or simply enjoy a relaxing drive to nearby attractions in Newport, Tiverton, Boston, or Cape Cod, and return to your peaceful sanctuary at River View Retreat.
The Home: This charming and historic 1894 home has been thoughtfully updated with a mix of traditional character and modern comfort. It features:
3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms
2 master bedrooms (perfect for two couples)
A third bedroom with bunk beds (great for kids)
2 spacious living rooms, each with large Restoration Hardware leather couches that double as additional sleeping space
Whether it’s a family vacation, a getaway with friends, or a quiet weekend for two, River View Retreat offers comfort, beauty, and unforgettable memories.
From our family to yours — we look forward to welcoming you.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Your host
Dimitrios and Stacey are lifelong Somerset locals, happily married for 15 years — which, in dog years (according to Coco, their family pup), is basically forever. Together, they’re raising three awesome kids: Dalila, Dimitrios, and Liliana — the names behind Stacey’s marketing company, DDL Advertising.
Stacey is the brains behind branding, while Dimitrios runs Agoro’s Pizza Bar & Grill, the local go-to for great food and good vibes since 1984. If you ask around town, someone’s probably had one of his pizzas — or two… or ten.
They’re natural hosts who love a good get-together, whether it’s Sunday dinner with friends or impromptu backyard parties. So opening RiverView Retreat to guests felt like second nature. Their goal? To make you feel like part of the family — minus the group chat.

Why they chose this property
The property at 2980 Riverside Avenue in Somerset, Massachusetts, boasts a rich history that reflects the area's vibrant past. Constructed in 1894, this historic home has stood as a testament to the architectural and cultural heritage of the late 19th century.
In the early 20th century, the lower level of the residence served as a speakeasy—a clandestine establishment that operated during the Prohibition era, offering patrons a secret venue for socializing and enjoying illicit beverages. The property's location on what was once known as Gay Street adds another layer to its historical significance. This street earned its name due to the transportation of clay from Gay Head on Martha's Vineyard to Somerset, where artisans utilized it to craft pottery on-site, highlighting the area's industrious past.
Today, efforts are underway to restore the former speakeasy to its original splendor, allowing visitors and residents alike to experience a tangible piece of Somerset's storied history.
