RiverView Lodge Saltwater Hot Tub and Starlink

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I had an amazing time. It was quiet and secluded which was exactly what we were looking for. With it just being the two of us the only thing I would recommend is make sure you bring storage containers or bags if you are planning on having left overs. With that being said the property was gorgeous."

"Very lovely cabin to stay in. We were staying as a group of four to get away to the river and woods. All fit comfortably. The outside grill provided was also great, the outside area was nice to eat dinner. When we called the host to ask about something she was very kind and helped us. This cabin is on my list for the next time we drive up the clearwater."

"We held our family reunion at this property. There was so much to do on site, at the lodge and with surrounding property. The children loved it. So did the adults. It was delightful to meet the owners and prepare for our family reunion. They were helpful and easy to communicate with. We had a water day on the Clearwater River at the lovely Smith Creek Beach and it was so much fun. We had life jackets for everyone and enjoyed a short float, playing in the sand, and bbqing hotdogs. There is a fishing pond on property with paddleboats and small kayaks. This was a popular draw for the children. There is also a zipline and equipment for all kinds of outdoor ball games. We held a successful reunion and made incredible memories."
