We had a great stay at RiverWest Retreat. The house was clean, the beds and pillows were super comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We also really enjoyed the large living space for our family to gather at the end of the day. The kids games were a nice touch as well since we were traveling with little kiddos. The location was good but I would recommend having a car as it’s about a 10-15 minute drive to Canal Park or to the Lincoln Park Craft District.

All amenities were new and well kept. The only drawback was the limited availability of hot water in the morning for showers.

Christmas Vacation

I am so grateful I found RiverWest Vacation Rentals, specifically RiverWest Retreat, when looking for a place for my family to stay over Christmas. The kitchen is complete with all of the things you need. There were plenty of towels, the beds were comfortable. The sauna was a great addition. There was plenty of space for all of us plus our family dog. We absolutely loved it! It was the perfect Christmas vacation! We most definitely will be staying here again!

Race Weekend

Lovely house, in a quiet picturesque neighborhood. I loved the decorations and how well stocked the kitchen was with supplies. It made a wonderful home base for 8 runners on Grandma's weekend. The host was very flexible as the guest numbers keep changing leading up to the stay.

Pure Paradise

The RiverWest Retreat was everything we hoped it would be. The floor plan is amazing, especially if you need a respite. The primary suite on the bottom floor is large, quiet, and away from the rest of the sleeping quarters. We were able to witness the most beautiful sunrises from our deck while sipping our morning coffee. The unit is well appointed and incredibly clean. The kitchen is complete with all of the things you need to make great meals. We absolutely loved it. It was a perfect weekend.

Fall colors

Great stay - 6 adults and one baby. Loved the king beds in all rooms. Each couple had own bathroom. Kitchen well equipped. Be aware lots of stairs, we brought baby gates. Easy access to trails. Great food and drinkeries just 8 minutes down the road in Lincoln Park. We preferred Lincoln Park over Canal Park for food/night out.

no snow

We came to ski at Spirit MT, which we could see from our rental window. Bur the weather Gods were not in favor of that plan. We did however, enjoy the Bentleyville holiday lights, the aquarium and the train museum. While we disappointed because of the lack of snow we made the best of it. The unit was great. It had games, plenty of seating area and was close to all the sites we visited.
