The River Shack is an amazing property! Tranquil and quiet, with the river just a few steps away. Super clean and comfortable, with everything you could need for a getaway right at your fingertips. Ben is outstanding with communication, and the property is very well maintained both inside and out. I am sure you will enjoy your stay just as much as I did. I highly recommend this home.

An Absolute Gem in Airview! We had a wonderful stay at this clean, cozy cabin. Set up with bird and squirrel feeders right on the property, it truly immerses you in nature. The outdoor fire pit area is stunning, incredibly tranquil, and the perfect spot to unwind at the end of the day.The location is fantastic—close to great hiking trails and the river, making it ideal for fishing and kayaking. During our stay, we took a fun day trip to Great Wolf Lodge for the kids and loved exploring the nearby beautiful farmlands and local Amish stores.Ben, the owner, was phenomenal! His communication before, during, and after our stay was amazing and made everything so seamless. We would happily rent from him again and hope to stay at another one of his rentals!

Besides a few strange plastic wraps on the ceiling that were for “ant dirt”, the stay was very pleasant and had fun amenities!
