Private Riverfront w Pool/Hot Tub/Cabins. Sanctuary for Family/Friend Gatherings

Pick a room overlooking the pool or the river in the main cottage. This 5 bedroom cottage sleeps up to 12 in the main house (2 queens, 2 full and 4 twins). There are two separate little cabins for additional guests and great for kids! (2 twin beds in each cabin).
Huge deck and outdoor seating overlooking the direct access to the Wood River in the backyard. There are kayaks + paddle board to use, and can take you all the way into Hope Valley center (3 miles down the river, 60-75 paddle ride). *Kayaks and paddle board are inflatable and must be dried off + deflated and stored at the end of guests stay.

In addition, the property has a well maintained full size pool, outdoor cabana and hot tub. For your convenience there is a full sized fridge and freezer, as well as a grill for outdoor cooking.

It is a peaceful sanctuary for family and friends to gather and create lifelong memories together. We hope you enjoy it as much as our family does!

Great spot for our extended family of 12 - quiet, plenty of parking, places available to retreat to when you wanted some time for yourself, plenty of yard space for kids to play. Check-in super easy with a door code, modern kitchen with everything needed to cook. And can't forget about the pool and hot tub!

Overall we had an amazing time! It is a relaxing spot and the pool was just what we all needed. The kitchen had everything you needed. There is shopping close for all of your needs! You do need to bring your own linens and the river was not passable for us to kayak down to the attached pond but it didn't matter because we had so much fun in the pool! Marie was very responsive and kind. We will be back!

Truly an amazing stay for our family! The interior of this home had a calm and cool ambience; perfect for a much-needed getaway. Each bedroom hosted it's own air conditioning unit that did keep the whole house cool in this crazy heat. The stunning pool is the heart of this home! We all enjoyed floating, laughing, and cannonballing the afternoon away. There is a covered mini-outdoor pavilion which was ideal for our shade-loving family members. Gardens were blooming and beautiful. Thank you Marie for adding the personal touches, we appreciate it !

June 2025

This was the fourth year we have gone to this house, and we have already booked it for next year. We love it and look forward to it. The hostess is helpful and quick to respond to our questions. It is perfect for our family. Our family consists of my husband and me, our two married daughters, their husbands, and their daughters (ages 4, 7, and 8). We gather fairly frequently at home, but it is usually to attend an event, so we don’t have time to catch up with each other. Our “vacation house” allows us time to chat, laugh, be silly, play games in or around the pool, make S’mores, and maybe even sing around the fire pit.

Friends and family vacation

Great spot plenty of space in the house for everyone. Nice kitchen and livingroom obviously the salt water pool was great. We spent out nights near the fire pit and gazed at the stars. They really shine bright with no light pollution around here. Recommend having your monitoring coffee near the river access for a relaxing start to your day.

We really enjoyed the space, inside and out. There was several seating areas outside. One by the pool, one in the garden area and one by the fire pit. Just fantastic!The pool and the grounds were very well maintained. Outdoor lighting was well placed. The kitchen and dining areas were larger than it looked in the photos. 6 chairs at the dining table. We expected 4...bonus! Washer and dryer..bonus! The livingroom was large but more seating is needed to accommodate a big group. We used an available fan to circulate cool air from the livingroom into the dining room and kitchen. Overall we loved this home. We enjoyed every minute of our time there.

Great Experience

Had a wonderful July 4th week with family. The pool was a big hit with the whole family and made for a refreshing time on a hot week. The river out back provided some quiet time for doing a little fishing. Only down side was that there wasn't a dishwasher, but that was quickly remedied by a quick trip to the grocery store to buy paper plates and utensils! Even though you feel like you are in a very rural area, which you are, stores, restaurants, and amenities are only 10 minutes away!. A great place for a relaxing vacation!

Birthday celebration

The Arcadia River House was even nicer than the pictures on VRBO. The listing stated a full size fridge outside by the pool and is was a mini fridge and the kayaks would not hold the air. Would be nice if the owner disposed of garbage, people at the transfer station are not very friendly or nice! Other than that we loved our time there and are considering going back next year!

Bugs, so many bugs

This property backs up to a river and we expected that there would be bugs on the outside of the property. Strangely enough there were many more more bugs inside the house than outside. There were so many bugs flying around the food in the kitchen and dining room that it was almost unbearable. I woke up on the second morning to use the bathroom and the sink was absolutely covered in dead gnats! The only saving grace was the pool area where we spent most of our time. Except at night because none of the light bulbs worked. This is dangerous, especially for families with small children. The gate to the pool area is broken so if a child were to get out unattended it would be very hard to find them. Never again, especially not at this price point. I expected better for the price.

BEWARE: No towels or sheets!

Overall the house was nice. Kitchen well stocked. It's really fun to kayak on the river right behind the house. Very quiet location, great pool. But the owner was extremely difficult. Beware the house has ZERO sheets or towels. That is not an exaggeration. No hand towels in bathrooms, no kitchen towels. NOTHING. So if you happen to have 8 beds worth of sheets lying around and 20 towels, you're all good. For the other 99.999% it's extremely irritating. What's more, the house description and the welcome package DID NOT mention this, despite the owner saying they did (she was wrong). The ONLY mention was #19 in the legaleze of the rental contract. We had to buy all this stuff, and she didn't reimburse us $1. Which is also an ecological disaster for each guest to need to do this. Also one of us left an important keychain at the house and it took 20 days for her to send it, despite knowing its importance and being reminded multiple times.

Fabulous pool in a private area.

We had 11 adults in our group. Although there are things to do in the area, the highlight of this rental is a fabulous, deep, saltwater heated pool, which was well-maintained. There’s a shaded sitting area and many other seats in the sun. There is also a hot tub although it was pretty warm the weekend we went. There are lots of sitting areas all over the property, including a large lower deck, and a smaller upper deck. Behind the house is a river that was a little difficult to kayak due to the fallen trees. It was peaceful to sit by, however. We cooked and grilled all of our meals there except for one meal out. There are lots of beautiful trees, shrubs, and flowers on the property. The mosquitoes were pretty bad, but we brought lots of bug spray. There’s a large, smart TV in the living room that we used for gaming in the evening. Just across the street is a lovely hiking area. It was so humid that weekend, so we really appreciated all the air conditioners. We ran out of a few essentials, but there are plenty places to shop nearby. You must supply your own towels and sheets, so I would clarify before you go to make sure you have the proper sizing. Overall, we had a great weekend, and I would definitely go back here again.

About the host

Hosted by Marie Aspling

Host profile image
We live in Boston and needed a place close by that could let us relax in the nature with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We chose the property for several reasons.

A peaceful and absolutely stunning place surrounded by nature. Country and woodsy feel. Endless hiking trails and outdoors activities. Fireplace in the fall/winter allows for cozy nights on the couch. The pool is our wake up shower in the summers!

Has that "Vermont feel".

Literally right on the Wood River. The river is our back yard.

In a National Preserve area with lots of hiking and trails and lakes for canoeing and kayaking and tubing and fishing.

Hot tub! POOL!

Total getaway. Restores mind & body.

What makes this property unique

When we welcome guests to the house we say would you like a pool view room or a river view room? All good. Our kids LOVE to have "sleepover" in the the two separate little cabins on the property that are fully furnished with electricity and they stay there with friends and hang out. Or for extra guests too. And of course, THE POOL! Another favorite activity during summer is to pull up a chair next to the river and read or swing in the hammock and just watch the water flow by and chill out.

Note: cabins not heated, only open during warm season. Same goes for the pool, open during the summer May-Oct depending on the weather that year.
