We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. The views of the marsh and surrounding trees is outstanding, and the house comfortably welcoming and beautifully decorated. We loved having access to bikes and kayaks and enjoyed the convenient location to stores, restaurants and especially the great beaches.

Once at the property we discovered that it was a hazard for seniors. Too many internal steps from room too room. Master bath too far from the master bedroom. No drawer spaces for longer than overnight stays. Just hanging closet. Picturesque area. WE DID NOT STAY! Host was helpful and communicative nevertheless.

We had a wonderful stay at the River House over the 4th of July weekend. The house is so unique and views of the river are beautiful. The house is completely updated, clean and had everything we needed. The host was amazing and super responsive. I would definitely stay again!

This house is in a quiet/safe neighborhood and has beautiful views - clean and spacious. Air temperature w the AC and mini split units was perfect. Beach towels, chairs, bedding, kitchen goods all provided - and in good shape. Kayaks and bikes are provided and I took advantage of both. Easy drive to beaches, boutique shopping in Madison and Guilford.
I also brought my yoga mat - awesome doing sun salutations with the sunrise!

My month-long stay was absolutely wonderful. Hunter was an amazing, proactive host. The weather wasn't cooperative in the beginning of my stay, but Hunter went above and beyond to make sure whatever issues arose were taken care of and I couldn't be happier to have made this choice. I will definitely be back!

This property was absolutely amazing. The entire back side of the home is all windows to give you a spectacular view of the river. The host was easy to communicate with.

Lovely, quiet, cozy riverfront cottage, Nicely updated, with cute decorative touches. Great for a couple or family with one to three small children as bunk bed in “river view” side room (enclosed previous porch) could be used as extra sleeping area. Enjoyed the views, especially sunrises. Highlight was kayaking through the meandering marshland rivers, rife with wildlife. Would stay again.

My family had a lovely stay at the River House! Everything was brand new, clean, and comfortable. Perfect weather for kayaking when tide was high in the river. Enjoyed watching the egrets/ospreys looking for their breakfast fish in the morning. Quiet and peaceful, which is what we wanted. Lots of great places to eat in Madison, and beaches close by.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute home. Everything was clean, decor was charming, and a perfect fit for our family to relax. The house is more spacious than it might appear in photos. The area is quiet and near plenty of beaches, restaurants, and shops on the shoreline.

The River House is the perfect retreat for a relaxing and quiet new england getaway. Piscuesque river views, and newly renovated. We enjoyed our mornings with the beautiful birds, turtles, and crabs. We had everything needed and the it was spotless. I emailed questions a few times to Hunter and always received a timely response. He was super helpful with restaurant suggestions, and upon arrival after asking if there were beach chairs and an umbrella we were pleasantly surprised to have 4 brand new chairs and an umbrella on the front porch. We really appreciated the extra efforts and his care for his guests. Great location,very private, and tucked away but within 5-10 mins to any conveniences needed. Without a doubt, I would recommend this darling river house cottage for a relaxing shoreline vacation. Thank you Hunter for allowing us create a weeknd full of wonderful memories for me and my family.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at River House over Thanksgiving, when we needed extra space for a visiting family member. Hunter was extremely helpful and always very quick to respond to and help with any questions. The views over the marshes are really beautiful, the house was comfortable and it was located very conveniently between Guilford and Madison.
