Perfect for a weekend on the River!

Big house with plenty of space for large family. The paddleboard, kayaks, the dock with slide, it all got used and was wonderful to have. Wi-fi and all electronics worked well. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. We did run low on Toilet Paper, paper towels, and bath towels. Great location - grocery stores nearby and the 4 hour River float ends right before this house! It was really a great spot. :-)

Memories to last a lifetime!

This house was so perfect! Enjoying the beauty of the Rainbow River but truly you dont have to even leave the house. The swimming right there is amazing! They have so many toys / rafts etc. We paddled, floated, and made the best memories! My children cant stop talking about it. I will be booking again and making this an annual tradition for my family! Plus the house has so much space and bathrooms so enjoy it with other families / friends!

Perfect accomodations for a great family vacation!

The property is very accommodating. Everything you need to float, kayak or paddle board on the river is provided, including life jackets. Everyone in our group (from 19 months to 80 years) enjoyed time in and/on the water! There is a large variety of games and cards available. Kitchen has plenty of silverware, cooking utensils, plates, cups, pots/pans, etc. In addition, there are plenty of reusable water bottles to take on the river, as disposable water bottles are not allowed on the river. There is a coffee station with both a traditional coffee maker and a Keurig. Dining table seats 10 comfortably and two bar stools at the kitchen counter. There is also a table on the porch that seats 4 and additional seating as well. Bedrooms are roomy and comfortable. There are plenty of towels provided, extra linens and a washer and dryer. Overall, great accommodations! We enjoyed our stay!

beautiful setting, spacious home

Fabulous location right on the rainbow river. We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Lots of kayaks and paddle boards for use on the river. Lots of great outdoor seating by the river. Inside the home was very spacious for 7 old golfers. Bedding was good, a/c was effective. Owners were helpful as needed to figure a few things out about the tv and kitchen. Will stay there again soon. Great restaurant, Swampy's, easy walkiing distance.

River Haven was everything I expected it to be and so much more!!

I rented this home to celebrate my 17-year old son’s birthday with friends. It was everything I hoped it would be. This home was spacious and comfortable. It had fully stocked bathrooms with towels, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. The kitchen had everything you need, including spices! All you have to do is a quick grocery run and your set for your river stay. We had everything to keep us entertained: the gorgeous spring in the backyard, kayaks, SUPs, water trampoline, board games, pool table, dartboard, fire pit, and nice televisions with streaming options. I honestly wish we could have stayed longer and hope we can return in the near future. Communication with the owner was on point. My only complaint was that the people who stayed in the home before us left a lot of trash bags in the front of the house that were quite and eye sore

Multifamily spring break getaway with the kids

We came for a spring break getaway with 4 adults and 5 kids (age 7-14). Although the house is a little dated, it is functional and easily accommodated all of us, it could have slept 14. The location is fabulous, right on the river, and there are tons of toys to keep everyone occupied inside and outside the house. Would defintely stay here again.
