WELCOME TO THE RIVER HOUSE
Settle into a peaceful riverside retreat just 2 miles from Colgate University and the Village of Hamilton. Located on the first floor of a renovated early 1900s general store, the River House combines the character of an old country property with the comforts of a thoughtfully renovated home.
Oversized windows fill the main living area with natural light and offer beautiful views of the backyard, mature trees and Chenango River beyond. Step outside onto your private deck for morning coffee, an afternoon with a book or a quiet evening surrounded by the sounds of the countryside.

GOOD TO KNOW
The River House occupies the first floor of a two-story building. The Movie House, a separate vacation rental, is located upstairs. Each unit has its own private entrance, kitchen and living areas.
You may occasionally hear guests upstairs, and we ask everyone in the building to observe quiet hours after 10 pm.
The old workshop building beside the yard is part of the property's history but is locked and not available to guests.
This is a rural country property, so you may hear roosters and other normal countryside sounds. The Chenango River is a natural, unsupervised area, and children should always be supervised near the water.
