Life on the River

We really enjoyed the "River Retreat" It was a cozy home! Although it was a wet kind of soggy weekend ... My family got to enjoy quality time together. We sat around the dinner table and reminisced about family memories, watched a couple of movies together and my youngest grand-daughter taught us a card game her teacher taught her. That was alot of fun! Our Family Reunion we attended was GREAT!! Linda, We lost power at the house during the storm, in fact the whole neighborhood did on Sunday morning from 1 a.m. to about 5:00 a.m. It was so dark!!! KInd of eerie...It stayed on for a couple of hours and we lost it again. We packed with no electricity. It stayed off up until we left. Hope everything is good now.

Little Hidden Gem! 💎

This property is Amazing, its out of the way, very quiet beautiful river scenery. Great accomodations, everything was as described. Comfortable, clean, great improvements, I've stayed in a bunch of Vrbos this is one of my new favorites. Check and communications couldn't have been easier. The only negative I can put down is that we had to leave.! We're planning to come back. Thank y'all for a wonderful stay🙏🙌❤️

Clean, Comfortable, Cozy in the Country

We were pleased to stay here during the eclipse in April. The home is setup with all the amenities needed for a convenient stay, and our host was very gracious and friendly. While we felt out in the country, everything was close enough to be a convenient 15-20 minute drive. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

Lovely get away

Love the amount of beds and space the little place provides. We couldn't lock our unlock the door when leaving but the neighborhood is very safe. Plenty of towels and equipment needed to have a good time. My kids (5 girls ) enjoyed the fire pit but disappointed in only 2 mirrors to get dressed. (GO FIGURE LOL) wife was kind of poor iff with a smell when first entering but it went away once we stayed a little. Overall had a great time and thank you for the opportunity to stay. PS They think the shower is amazing 😁
