Awesome!
This was one of the cleanest and well equipped homes we have had the pleasure of ever being in. Very clean and close to the river, no complaints on anything other than wish we could have stayed longer than a weekend. It was just what we needed to get away! Thank you!

Great Getaway
This cabin was very clean and comfortable. It’s location was perfect for my husband and I and our teenage daughter. We needed to decompress a couple of days and this, and couldn’t have done so in a better place.

Cleanest VRBO Ever!!
Brad was excellent in his communication. Check in was a breeze and the directions were as easy as pie. The location was exclusive behind a gated community and the house was nestled up against the river. Such a breathtaking setting. Upon entry we were greeted with soft holiday music playing and instantly noticed it was the cleanest, best smelling VRBO we have ever been in. The gas fireplace was our favorite part as we sat there watching the flames and relaxing. The hot tub was clean and hot. Our only complaint would be the lack of privacy between the houses next door. Maybe add some evergreen trees to create more privacy. Everything else was as perfect as can be! We will return!

Great getaway
This house was just as described and even better. It was the perfect getaway that my wife and I needed, extremely peaceful and relaxing location on the river. The fireplaces inside and outside were a huge plus! The house was one the best equipped rentals we’ve stayed in. We will be back for sure.

Wonderful Cabin
My family has rented seven different cabins in the past (all 4.5-5 stars), and this one was the cleanest and our most favorite yet. The design and layout is superb and has a wonderful position on the river. We had an issue with the gas grill one night, but it was promptly fixed by the management company the next day (who is also top notch). You won’t regret renting this cabin if you want a place on the river.

River Rock Retreat
We arrived to our cabin that looked just like the listing and once we stepped inside the adventure began. River Rock exceeded our expectations. This cabin has it all, from the furnishings, appliances and decor. We did not need or want to leave. The River waters were so relaxing along with meeting the neighbors, seeing deer and the neighborhood cat made our stay one will will not forget. Thanks for letting us stay in your home. We hope to return in the future.

Great quite location right on the River
Decided at the last minute to get away and this is the nicest cabin for 2 or 4 people I’ve stayed in. This cabin is well appointed and the kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans if you want to stay in.. Also, you couldn’t be much closer to the river. Even though it rained all weekend it was nice sitting on the covered porch, in front of the fire, reading while listening to the river in the background

Peace of Paradise
The property is top flight with all the appointments we could hope for and more (ex. top of the line kitchen appliances and cookware, wood provides by the fire pit, towels ready for the hot tub...). The owner has thought of everything!
Pictures do not do the place justice. The house is beautiful and the setting is amazing. Surrounded by trees and amazing views of the river.
The sound of the river, immediately put us into a much needed lower, relaxed gear. We awoke to see deer grazing across the river and trout jumping in the water - all just a few feet away. Morning coffee by the river was a real treat.
The location is perfect. We felt away from it all but with easy access to shops, restaurants and river excursions. Kayaking was a highlight along with jumping in the river on the property.
The property is new and immaculate.
We haven’t stopped talking about how wonderful the experience was and hope to return soon!
