The owners were very quick to respond and respectful of any questions we had. The views are amazing and the activities available at the house satisfied my large group of age range of 20 months to 61 years old. Kids caught fish, kayaked, and played games. We also rented the pontoon boat which was well worth it. I would recommend staying at this property for making good family memories. ##### Paige N.

Jun 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful getaway Very clean, updated property stocked full with supplies and amenities. Just fyi, the river’s current makes the bank unsuitable for wading for small children, but luckily ours got their water fix in the spacious jacuzzi. Older teens and adults however had several kayaks to choose from (8 I believe). There was an air pump, poker chips, bags (corn hole), fishing gear, crock pots (these were some of the things we brought unnecessarily). Overall, very relaxing and serene location that was easily enjoyed on the inviting deck. ##### Milena M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebekah W.

The house was well stocked, very clean, and with plenty of space and beds for all. The house stayed warm in sub zero temps, which was important for these Florida residents! :) The kids especially enjoyed the game room, while the adults loved having coffee by the wall of windows overlooking the river, complete with stunning views of snow and wildlife. (We were thrilled by the beaver that swims back and forth in front of the back porch!) The hot tub was a lovely addition. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and checked in with us every so often to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, we'd give 10 stars if we could. We will carry fond memories of this trip with us and will return to this River Retreat if we can! ##### Rebekah W. Stayed 20 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keri D. Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Daughter’s Birthday Getaway We loved the River retreat house especially the river! The views were awesome and the house had its privacy. We took the kayaks down river and put in at the park right in Bristol and pulled out right at house. It was the highlight of the trip. As the listing states there is 8 kayaks but there was only 7 paddles and 7 life jackets, one being for a small child. We saw a ton of wildlife just sitting on the wrapped around deck. The kitchen has all the amenities you need to prepare meals. There is AC in every room, however the one in the living room is sort of loud. Think ‘phone off the hook’ sound, but since we were outside most of our trip it wasn’t distracting at all. The Hot tub was clean and warm when we arrived. The Ski ball table in the game room doesn’t work. The house comes with tons of firewood so you definitely won’t be running out to buy more. We loved our stay and would totally book again! ##### Keri D. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott H.

A few bad things, a few feet off a main road and vehicle noise. A salvage yard literally across the street, no screens on the windows so cant open due to bugs. ##### Scott H.

Rooms and beds were comfortable and spacious. Had to bring our own awning to go over the hot tub, as it is out in the open. Not a bad thing to say about this rental, and if we do come back to the area, will definitely stay again. ##### Jennifer H.

Clean and beautiful scenery. ##### Robert C. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda B.

Traffic noise was noticable. The back of the house is incredible with peaceful views of the river. You feel totally secluded and immersed in nature. House was updated and clean. Great place to stay! ##### Amanda B.
