Amazing gateway weekend location!

We had an amazing stay at this property! The house was even better than expected—spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed with everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.Glenn was an outstanding host—super responsive, friendly, and quick to answer any questions we had before and during our stay. His attention to detail really made the whole experience seamless and stress-free.We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-maintained home away from home. Five stars all around!

Beautiful getaway!

We had a wonderful 5-day getaway at the River Perch! The three kids spent hours on the river each day, we went tubing and kayaking, we got to see our dog enjoy her first real swims, and then we got to relax in the very cozy, very clean house with the beautiful front porch view of the Cacapon. Glenn made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay and was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot for a trip away!

AWESOME

Glenn, the host was truly the best. Accommodating in every way. The house was clean, spacious and located on a manicured lot. The view was awesome. Right on the river. We ate every meal on the outside covered deck. Every aspect of our stay was awesome. Our only regret was we had to leave. I can't say enough good things about this awesome property and host.

River Getaway

We absolutely loved the River Perch! The house was perfect and the location overlooking the river was amazing. Glenn was the best host. Our trip was short and sweet but he made sure we made the most of our time there. He recommended a wonderful hike, set us up for tubing, told us where to get the best burger (it was the best), and showed us a great spot for a sunset hike. It was an unforgettable trip. We loved it!

Little piece of heaven on the river!

River Perch was amazing! We had a wonderful family long weekend in November with our two labs. Even in November, the kids and dogs had a fantastic time in the water- tubing, fishing and wading. The river was relatively shallow- no deeper than thigh high on my 12 year old. My husband tried to fish, but after 3 days gave up. Super quiet, clean, remote and has everything you need. The Wi-Fi was strong and reliable and the TV was fully equipped with all streaming apps. The fire pit was stocked with firewood and the gas grill was super convenient. We would have loved to use the two chimneys in the chilly evenings but they appeared to be decorative. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook with- knives, cutlery, pots, pans, cookie trays, and even some basic spices. The coffee pot (not Keurig) , toaster and microwave were also helpful to have on hand for movie night and breakfasts. Place was super clean, newly renovated with a clean, modern feel- just beautiful! And the hosts could not be lovelier. Glenn answered all our questions and even left us s’more kits and a bottle of wine for our arrival. Check in was a breeze, instructions provided were easy to follow. The little town of Yellow Spring is about 4-5 miles away and has a Dollar General, gas station and a few smaller shops in case you run out of the basics. Could not recommend this place more! We hope to be back in the spring!

A perfect stay in a serene setting

We had an amazing short stay at River Perch. Glenn is an exceptional host and the home is perfectly appointed for a relaxing stay. The house is newly remodeled and they did an amazing job. The view of the river is stunning from both of the living areas and the deck is perfect. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and was very clean. The 3 bedrooms were set up wonderfully and there were plenty of towels (and beach towels!). The river was so fun and a great spot for bird watching. We ate some s’mores down at the river over a fire which was a perfect end to an absolutely lovely stay.

Weekend with the Grandkids

This is absolutely the best rental we have experienced through VRBO so far. Mr Glenn was the best host and communication was prompt. The house is lovely and the river is even better. Our young ones had so much fun riding the available tubes down the river. Quiet and secluded but only minutes to town. We will definitely be returning.

Listen to the river flow by

My family had a lovely time. The house and location were just right. Big, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. Enjoy the river from the covered front porch or walk over to the riverside and sit near the waters edge. Large fun tubes available to float in the cool water. Bring a mask and snorkel and look for crayfish in the rocky shallows. We visited nearby markets in Capon Bridge and Wardensville for fresh produce and interesting local crafts. Some of us brought mtn bikes and road some nearby trails.

I booked this home for July 4 for four nights with my son mainly for fishing and the close proximity of the river. Our stay turned out to be so much more. Glenn and his wife are excellent host. We got to see their family fireworks, use their kayaks, tube down the river and Glenn showed my son how to do some fly fishing. They were also very knowledgeable as to where to venture nearby for food and unique gift shopping. The home is lovely, very clean, recently remodeled and well kept. The river is so clear we could see fish and crawdads everywhere.. It was a great retreat to return to nature. It’s nice that you can’t see any other homes and this area is very quiet, but there are people nearby so you’re not completely isolated, which was comforting for me. I definitely plan to stay again, it’s a very special place.

Mothers' Day weekend family trip

This is a beautiful and spacious home with river access and porch for sunning and relaxing. We spent 2 of our 4-night hiking trip here. The owner went out of his way for us, lighting the fire pit, and bringing smore fixings for the kids (12 and 13). Inner tubes and kayaks were available, and despite the cold temp., the kids tubed down the shallow river and were in heaven! Spotlessly clean, and we were thrilled to find Rummikub in the game cupboard. Quiet, private area.

Absolutely fabulous

We wanted a change of pace/ scenery and found exactly that. If you’re used to the noise of a freeway then you will love the sound of the capacon river flowing right out front of this beautiful home. Glen did everything he could to make sure we had everything. House is very nice and comfortable.everything you need to enjoy a getaway is provided.The view of the river is priceless. Saw several eagles fly by and numerous other wildlife that made it spectacular. Bring binoculars to really enjoy the views. Glen gave us info on the local butcher and various places to check out. Local butcher does have best burger in town. We decided to grill all of our meals instead of going out.The fire pit by the river was where we spent our late afternoon and evening enjoying the outdoors. Simple,serene and very peaceful place. Highly recommend for a getaway. We stayed 3 nights. Would return in a heartbeat but will stay longer. Many thanks to Glen for his hospitality. He checked in a few times to make sure everything was going well. Absolutely perfect.
