This was the perfect stay. Our kids all said their time exploring the property and playing inside and outside of the house together was one of the best of their lives! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing home with us.

Thank you so much for this delightful review. You were a pleasure to host and you are always welcome back!
We absolutely loved our house for the weekend. It was super clean and pleasant. Checking in and out was easy and convenient. The property is huge, making for a relaxing and quiet getaway. We will be staying here again in the future!
Rustic River Retreat was better than we expected. It's on beautiful grounds with several nice features that worked well for us.

The main house and the game room were nicer than the pictures! The house and the property were awesome. The perfect place to stay when going fishing on Lake Erie. I would recommend this place to anyone!

The house was beautiful. Thanks
Beautiful setting back in the woods. Quiet and serene.
The Main House was perfect for our size family. We had New Years/Birthday celebrations and the accommodations were exactly what we needed. The house was well stocked and everything was mapped out where things were located which was super helpful.
We also enjoyed the trails located around the property.
Three generations of family were able to get together and enjoy the main house. The property was spotless and had everything we needed. We are already planning on coming back for a fourth time!
Wonderful place! Great location and property!
Only issue was couldn’t get one of the bathroom pocket doors to close but wasn’t a big issue since there were 4 other bathrooms.
We have been staying at these cabins for over 7 years and we love it! Very clean and well stocked. Home away from home
