River Retreat

Great location. Plenty of room for a large family. The home had a well stocked kitchen and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The best amenity was the wonderful sunroom facing the river. If we return to the area we would rent again.

Great Weekend Getaway!!

My group of 11 rented to celebrate a 40th birthday. The property was clean and large. Check in was exceptional and communication with owner was on point- he answered all of our questions promptly and even ensured he had a fire pit and wood on site for our stay. Beautiful views. House was stocked with pantry staples and then some, plenty of tableware and other supplies! Store close by (walking distance), walkable to Port O Call if your looking for good food and entertainment. I would highly recommend this property and hope we can plan another trip here again in the future!

Everything was phenomenal. Property was perfect for what we needed, very convenient to store for groceries. We had a fantastic time, and the property was stocked with many items I didn't expect, such as sugar cubes and tea. My grown kids and their significant others, younger kids, husband and I would definitely choose to stay again. Had a great time.
