Great

Overall it was great. There was so much room. There was a few spiderwebs and bugs and crossing the road there’s a gas station just in case you forget something . It had a beautiful view to a river.

Book if you like: a busy road, rustic accommodations & poor maintenance

This property is located on a busy road. We could hear traffic all night. It is difficult to turn left out of the property. The front is near the road with an "island" overgrown with vegetation. It is also located on a small lot on a steep slope down to the river. Holes under the tree need to be filled. The yard is full of debris from prior guests. To get to the river, you need to walk through a steep muddy path, drop is about 7 ft. The front and back porches are filthy and covered in cobwebs. The backyard is full of mosquitos. There is only one course of brick on the firepit, kindling is sparse. The charcoal grill is all rusty. Trash receptacles on site are not animal proof, we had to clean up a mess several mornings when animals got into the cans. The 1st floor bedroom is ok but the bathroom is super small & dated and the vanity is in the bedroom. The primary closet is a walk in but the owner is using for storage & there are no clothes hangers anywhere in the house. When you walk into the primary bedroom, you are greeted by a large stain on the carpet. Also, the bathroom vanity doors are falling off. The kitchen cabinets are worn, no Keurig, no sharp knives. Dishwasher is not fastened under counter, door is broken. Old food crumbs in cracks on the table. The front burner on the stove doesn't work. Ants are all over the counters. Dryer doesn't work. Rocker on the porch is broken. Only 3 chairs at the firepit. Internet & TV are spotty. Maintenance unresponsive.

Spring break

The ants were the worst part. They were everywhere. I got up one morning and there were 3 on my pillow and more in the bed. My husband had more on his side of the bed. We also had ants in the master bath sink area. They were all in the kitchen. We stored our food in the microwave and fridge to try and keep the ants out. We also had to go to the store for paper towels and toilet paper. They provided 1 roll of paper towels and 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. Would have been nice to know in order to prep better.

We enjoyed staying at River Retreat over Thanksgiving holidays because the bedroom count was large enough for our family and separate enough for privacy. We had 6 adults, 3 children and 1 dog. Everything was clean and set up for Christmas. The access to the river was great, even though there was a fire ban, the outdoor seating and fire pit were inviting.

Overall what we needed

The house was nice and we enjoyed our stay. The only thing a little off putting was the amount and size of the cob webs on the front porch. The inside was clean and that’s what truly matters.

Short Getaway

Cabin was clean. Location was convenient. Being on the river was beautiful. I read all other reviews and could tell that the host has tried to remedy concerns previously listed. If the back gutter isn’t replaced, you’ll be in need of some roof work - not a complaint, just an fyi.

Fun in the woods

The cabin was very nice and roomy, great location for me and my family we loved that it was not deep in the woods. Game rooms were fun, and bathrooms were clean. The check in process was very nice and convenient. It was also, very close to everything and everywhere we planned to go. We will definitely plan on coming back again. Thank you.

Some concerns

The property was as described. However the kitchen desperately needs silverware the dishwasher did not clean the dishes. The washer and dryer is open for everyone to see in the family room and it took 2 days to dry a very small load. I think that it should be listed that the house is on a busy main road. The sleeping arrangements worked great for my family. I just think with the price we paid it should have had working dishwasher and washing machine and dryer. We had to go buy plastic utensils sue to not having enough. Also the carpet needs to be replaced in the lower part of the house.

Liked the river in the back, lots of space in the house. Carpet needs badly replaced, areas of floor had exposed tacks, which caused injury to little toes. Plus with being pet friendly, carpet is not a good choice.
