We loved our stay at River Perch. It was our second time there. We look forward to going back. The river is so peaceful, the house and porch perfect for relaxing, well stocked and clean.

We loved our stay at River Perch. It's recently remodeled, with plenty of space for an extended family. The kitchen is well-equipped and the setting is quiet. We really enjoyed the elevated porch, watching for wildlife and listening to the river. Check-in and check-out is very easy with keypad entry, and our host (lives nearby) was helpful and friendly.

River Perch on the Cacapon is a serene, private, gorgeous property on a wonderful stretch of the river. The house was very clean upon arrival, and the check-in process was smooth. Glenn is very kind and responsive, and helpful with suggestions for food, activities, hiking spots, etc. The house is stocked with plenty of towels, linens, paper towels, soaps, and other sundries, which were so appreciated. The welcome basket with s'mores kits and other goodies was a lovely special touch, as were the fire starter supplies. The house and property are very dog-friendly. We really enjoyed our weekend, would love to go back, and hope to soon!

Our German friends loved this house - the beautiful stretch of the Cacapon, the comfortable bedrooms and spacious living areas. The kitchen is well equipped and allowed them to prepare some Thanksgiving dishes as well as breakfast each day. Glenn was a terrific host and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. Thank you!

This property was the most wonderful “home-away-from-home.” The interior was flawlessly clean, welcoming, and had all the amenities and necessities a family (with two kids and two dogs) could need! The owners of the River Perch on the Cacapon were gracious hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We truly felt comfortable and relaxed the whole time.

Great Property

The only thing that would make this property better would be a hot tub. The property was clean and comfortable. Great place situated right on the river.

Beautiful getaway!

We had a wonderful 5-day getaway at the River Perch! The three kids spent hours on the river each day, we went tubing and kayaking, we got to see our dog enjoy her first real swims, and then we got to relax in the very cozy, very clean house with the beautiful front porch view of the Cacapon. Glenn made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay and was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot for a trip away!

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful time staying at River Perch. The hosts are generous and the property is beautiful, comfortable and well-stocked, inside and out. We kayaked and enjoyed the river, hiked a nearby trail and enjoyed live music in town one evening.

Wonderful Getaway

The visit was amazing! Although we had high expectations based on previous reviews, we were not disappointed. The house is very modern and spacious. The deck and the view of the river can't be beat and we wouldn't change a thing. We also got to meet Glenn who was incredibly responsive. We'll definitely be back with more family.

Very enjoyable property.

Well kept and maintained property. First time with a river view and we all liked it. Two things convey better than expected, seclusion in nature and picturesque.
