Cute place, clean, very well-equipped and comfortable. Very nice view/access to the river - we enjoyed some really beautiful sunsets from the hot tub! Loved the pet-friendly option as well - our vacations are so much more relaxing when we aren't worried about leaving our girl behind. :-)

Peaceful week

The house was great! Perfect size for us and we loved being able to see the boats pass by on the river from the couch. We appreciated the nice set of dishes...especially the perfect coffee cups! Our dog really enjoyed the fenced in yard and the ability to run in to cool off whenever he wanted. Such a relaxing week! Dorene and John were an incredible pleasure to work with. Very accommodating and helpful, I wish all property managers had this approach.

A great place to stay

I stayed here for a golf weekend and was very impressed with the house. Everything was very clean and the hot tub was perfect after a day of golf. If it's a clear night, turn off all the lights and enjoy the stars. The renting process was easy and Dorene was great to work with. Highly recommend would definitely stay here again.

Great relaxing cabin.

Wonderful rustic cabin. Was great for our dog as it is all fenced in with a gate, so he could not wander off. Sitting in the hot tub overlooking the river was wonderful. Central to all locations in the area. Would like to come back for a few days in the summer...

Wonderful getaway

Beautiful river view, close to everything yet private and quiet. Swans floating by all day and a pair of bald eagles fishing right in front of the cabin! Large bedroom, comfortable bed and very nice cabin decor. Very well stocked kitchen and baths. Jacuzzi was great after a day of skiing. Perfect for the two of us and our doggo.

Great location, great experience!

I booked only a few days before hand and Dorene was great answering questions via email right away. River's Edge was exactly what I hoped for. My kids loved the hot tub and being close to Indian River was beautiful. The place was very clean and the décor made you feel at home. I definitely hope to make this a yearly visit!

We had a great time and wished we could have stayed longer! Everything you need is there and we felt right at home. My Father fished from the dock, we had a nice fire (wood provided), really enjoyed the hot tub and visited local places we used to frequent years ago when my Parent's had a place in the area. We will definitely book again in the future!

We werent even there 5 minutes before everyone was getting in the hot tub and having such a beautiful view just off the deck in the winter of the river made it even better. Area was quiet and peaceful and just what we all needed to step away from our busy lives down state. Definetly will be back

Loved it again!

This was my second time at the River's Edge and I absolutely enjoyed it! The location is a perfect mix of seclusion and proximity to everything the Indian River area has to offer. The decor is very tasteful and welcoming, it was very clean and comfortable and had all of those little things like board games that really add up. I'll be back for sure!

Unbelievable property!

This property was better than expected! Clean, beautiful, well maintained, and quality furnishings. Dorene was wonderful to work with. If you want a nice place on the river, look no further! I grew up in Michigan and wanted a place away from it all, to spend with family and do some sight seeing. It was absolutely perfect!
