The house was very cozy; we truly enjoyed our stay. If you are a family traveling, it's a nice sized home. Our only issues were the upstairs is completely open, you can hear everything going on downstairs when you try and sleep. The beds and pillows also have plastic covering on them, every time someone rolled over you could hear the crinkling. There was also only 1 television in the entire house, which was in the Livingroom. My father needed a TV to fall asleep, so he slept on the couch the entire stay. To our family these were small inconveniences compared to the view and outdoor space the property offers. I must also mention, I have stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this one had EVERYTHING you could need. The host was very generous with the amenities. I was thoroughly impressed by all she offered, from soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, fans available in every room, etc... You won't be disappointed if you stay in this cabin. It is not luxurious, but it's quite charming and I felt right at home. I only listed the other things, so people are aware before booking. I would hate for this fantastic host to get a negative review because people didn't understand what all the property entails, due to the little quirks you might encounter. I traveled with my spouse, 23yr old autistic daughter, 72yr old father and 17yr old daughter. We all loved the place; we would book here again.

Fantastic visit

The place is in great shape and has everything you could want. Lots of space with tables and chairs for eating. . Grill clean and working with extra propane. Kayaks for fun on the river and adirondack chairs for the "life guards" AKA parents. Lawn for kids to run around. AC worked great as well as TV - watched some golf and tennis. We will be back next year.Robyn

Wedding weekend

We stayed at the River House for a long weekend with extended family while in the area for a wedding at Manor at Mountain View. The location was ideal. The weather was hot (90s) but the covered porch with overhead fans, water views and adequate AC were all great for relaxing and catching up.

Family Hershey trip

So happy we decided to rent this brb for our hershey park trip instead of a hotel. Everything about this property was great! Wonderful mesmerizing views and comfortable accommodations all in one! Pam was a great host and was able to meet all of our needs or questions we had during our stay. I highly recommend staying here, it meets the needs of anyone really, big groups/small groups, and its a quaint cottage surrounded with all the beauty in nature:)
