Location of the house and the proximity to the river was wonderful. Plenty of space for our family reunion. Plenty of cooking space, utensils, etc. There were quite a few hornets nests and some areas weren’t as clean as they could be. We would definitely come back!

Friends weekend

The location and property is wonderful. Overall a nice place with lots of room for everyone. I would suggest that instructions for tv be clearer,light switches were confusing. An easy access to the river would be great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend for family or group stays.

Relaxing Reunion

We had a wonderful relaxing time at this beautiful house. We were able to unwind from the city life we live and enjoy the peaceful river. We had a reunion of older people, and everything we needed was there. We laughed, made good food and enjoyed each other's company. We were even saying when we left that we would need to come back next year. It was great that everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. There were 5 adults, 3 were single, and one couple. The view of the river was great! The weather was unusually warm and spectacular the entire time we were there. Thank you Amy for a great get away house in the country.

Great for all generations!

We had a WONDERFUL week at New River Lodge!! When we pulled up to the house several folks said...."This is where we are staying?!?! This is beautiful!" The spacious living area and gorgeous views from the porch were our favorite things. We loved playing foosball and bumper pool everyday! It was so cool to make memories with all the generations playing together. The family suites are amazing! The different configurations helped greatly when making space for everyone. Amy (host) is very responsive and helpful with any questions. 5 out of 5

Very generous space for three families, not extremely clean

We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of space in each of the rooms to fit our three families, however the carpet is very unclean. It was stained and caused our socks to turn brown on the bottom very quickly. There was also a bit of a smell that we assumed was coming from the carpet.
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2016
Response from VrboOwner on 17 March 2020
Hi Jill, Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we apologize that you experienced this. We will certainly look into remedying the carpet cleanliness in the near term. We hope you enjoyed your stay and are glad you found the house to have adequate space! Thank you.
