About this property

Riverfront Cottage with Hot Tub, Kayaks, Canoes, & Fishing Boats!

Cozy cottage on the Maumee River in Waterville, Ohio just a few miles from town. What folks like best about our property is the peace and quiet that comes from the islands that are right out your front door. There is a 12-mile-long wooded hiking and biking trail that abuts our property. Feel free to use our mountain bikes, kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, and even our electric fishing boat! My husband and I purchased the 12 cabins and cottages that are Riverwood 25 years ago so, let us know if you need a larger or even additional places to stay for family get-aways! Hope to see you soon!

This is a lovely cottage with a porch looking right out on the river. It was clean and the bed is very comfortable. The hosts are wonderfully kind and accessible. They provide free kayaks and bicycles if you would like. Parking is just across the driveway from the cottage. The towpath is a nice walk with big trees and a good flat surface starting at the driveway. This is my second stay and I look forward to staying again!

Riverwood Stay

We’ve stayed at Riverwood cabins twice and really enjoyed both visits. Cabins are nice and location is excellent. Very peaceful setting! We’re BGSU parents and proximity to campus is also great.

Right on the River

This is one of the most beautiful places. It is right on the river and between two state parks, both within easy walking or biking distance. They have bicycles, canoes, kayaks, hot tubs, and fire rings. The cottage was spacious and clean with a picture window facing the river. The hosts were kind and easy to communicate with. I'm looking forward to going back and learning to kayak.

Just what we needed. Some quality family time. The host are super accommodating! We were in town for a soccer tournament and they let us come early and leave late. Could not have been more smooth.

Wonderful View from the Hot Tub

Inside of the house was very neat and clean, owners left some goodies in the kitchen for you, and hot tub on the back porch was amazing along with the view of the Maumee River. Only bad thing is the shower had almost no pressure at all. Other than that everything was perfect.

Lovely place

We had a wonderful time . However we all came home with poison ivy. We went to use the grill to cook out and both were filthy. We went and bought a grill brush to clean it . We left it there for the next renter. The hosts were wonderful and helpful. Lovely people Very relaxing

This place has real potential. 1. The home smelled wet and moldy which really bothered my allergies and when we got home my husband was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia. The window air conditioners probably do not help this. 2. Being ask not to flush urine was a bit strange to me. I understand there’s a holding tank but?! I do not remember seeing this in the description when booking or I wouldn’t have booked it because to us

Plumbing Problems

The cabin and owners are very nice. We were told to leave water to toilet shut off and that black stuff was in water. My dad and I used an old bowl from kitchen to subsidize tank water and to very fast showers. The water had black silt and smelled like an old aquarium. I was paranoid about smelling like that the whole weekend. We are not high maintenance at all. If the owner would have said, Hey, I know there is problems so I am refunding half your money, or anything, I would have understood. I waited a week to write this to see if they would. Also, an L-shaped couch, that does not fold out, does not sleep two adults. It should not even be considered unless it is a hide a bed. I left a note and I waited, this is fair.
