Great venue with something for everyone. Pool table, ping pong, rock climbing for the wee, and swings and a hot tub! Great view, plenty of space for privacy and what a view!

The view was fantastic. Everything about this house was great! The adult kids loved the pool table, we played some board games and the kitchen was well stocked. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A bit of utopia!
We had 8 in our group. The 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were perfect! We were comfortable and enjoyed the kitchen, including many appliances. Kids loved the chickens, playground, ground installed trampoline and the bunk beds! The view ia spectacular. Peaceful and serene.

Our trip to Iceland was wonderful, and the River House was a beyond perfect base for adventures in the south. The hosts were thoughtful, communicative and easy to work with. The house had all of the things we needed, and tons we didn't! Our kids were thrilled with the chickens, horses, playset and games... we loved the view and beautiful, secluded location!A lovely visit! We would highly recommend.

Peaceful retreat
We loved everything about the property and the house was great. So many fun things for the kids to do as well as horses right outside! The view was incredible. The house was clean and had anything we could think we would need. We were not ready to leave.

Perfect home base location
Our family of five with three young kids used this lovely house as a home base for our golden circle and south coast activities. Plenty of privacy, the space was so clean, and the kids loved all of the toys and games. There were more than were advertised, they didn’t even want to leave the house to sightsee.
