Christmas Gathering

Wonderful property! We have some tall family members who had to be careful enjoying the lower level, but overall it was very comfortable and exceptionally clean. Owners were super on communication. Would definitely book again in the future. Thanks for the great stay!

Hi John! I’m not sure you are reviewing the correct property! Our property is extremely close to almost everything in Loveland! Not sure you could actually get a better location!

Ohio Family Trip

The Lookout - River Retreat: a beautifully decorated & roomy house! Loved all the ‘fish/river/outdoors’ theme throughout the house. The beds were very comfortable & overall the house was very clean. Plenty of towels/washcloths. It was at a convenient (to great restaurants & shopping in Loveland)/scenic location. We came to Ohio to visit family in various town in nearby areas & the house was located so that traveling was quite easy. It was a very easy check-in & check-out. What few issues that may have occurred - Drew was responsive / helpful. We would definitely love to return one day!
