Betsy was fantastic. The cabin is a beautiful little gem tucked away in the foothills along the Maury River. The cabin had plenty of amentities, was well kept and very clean. Highly recommend for families.

Cabin was rustic, but very comfortable. Character! Well-appointed. Owner was extremely easy to work with and very friendly. Convenient to Washington and Lee University via back roads.

It was so lovely to have Ken and his guests stay at the cabin. There was a snafu with the water heater that required some maintenance and Ken was extremely gracious about the inconvenience while it was repaired. All left the house in spectacular order; I could not ask for better guests. I sincerely hope Ken will visit Retreat By The Rivah again with a discount for his patience and flexibility. Best Wishes and thanks for spreading the word!

Rivah cabin was a perfect spot to relax and reset between graduation events. It was neat and clean. Beautifully decorated and comfortable for the family. Wish we had more time to enjoy the river. Host was very helpful and the house had everything we needed to feel like we were at home. Wi-Fi worked great so even though the cabin is located in a rural area , Wi-Fi calling was all we needed.

Beautiful Cabin

This was a quick weekend trip to see some pretty fall colors. The location is beautiful and the cabin was fantastic. Everything was clean and taken care of and the host was very responsive. I would definitely go again.

Graduation retreat

The cabin was a great place to stay. It offered many opportunities locally for outdoor adventure. However, we were not there for that amenity. If looking for a get away from everything place, this is it. Beautiful surroundings.

Hi Laura, thanks for your review. I'm curious, why did you leave 4 stars and not 5? Just asking as a new host for your feedback. My goal is to make it a 5 star stay every time ;)

Graduation weekend

It was a great hideaway where we could walk, rest, eat and celebrate! A little bit of a drive (15 min) to campus, so it’s not like you are staying downtown. However, if you are from any city, it’s no big deal! Screened in porch with a swing, a fire pit and a hot tub! Such attention to detail in the house and so clean! We will be back for future stays! :)

Karen and her family were dream guests!! Very communicative, kind and went out if their way to take care of the cabin. Karen and her family left the cabin immaculate. They went above and beyond with cleaning up, taking out the trash and starting the laundry. Could not ask for a better family to host. Hoping to have them visit again!! ❤️❤️

We were in town for VMI commencement. The property is about 20-25 minutes from Lexington. It was just perfect. Very comfortable beds and linens. The screen porch provided a great place to relax, hang out and eat”outside.” The cabin feels like a home where our family just settled in. Local cows on the property next door in the very early morning and deer bedded down on the hill behind the hot tub. There was a woodpecker and cardinals singing in the trees! We spent some time on the rocks down at the river and were able to get a quick 2 mile (safe from the winding roads) run in from the cabin and back. We just loved it and wished we could stay longer. Betsy is a great host - very responsive.

Kirsten, thank you so much for allowing us to host you and your family. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay! It was very meaningful to me that you were so interested in the history of the cabin and my parents who curated the aesthetic by intertwining natural beauty, wildlife and spirituality. It is indeed a special place and we are most pleased your family was able to tap into the positive energy and rich history of the Retreat By The Rivah. Please visit us again!
