This is the perfect location for the multi family reunions, gatherings, and getaways. The ample grounds are ideal for wiffle ball, badminton, volleyball, horseshoes, and picnics. An intimate beach provides swimming, boating, and jet skiing, or just basking in the sun and napping in the hammock. There is excellent rock fish (striper) fishing or crabbing off the end of the 100 foot dock. In the evening, the kids can roast marshmallows in the fire pit and then pitch a tent and sleep under the stars. If you're looking for the perfect place for a guys weekend, a girls retreat, or a getaway for the whole family, you'll love the 'River House' !

House was AMAZING and the location was very peaceful. A perfect place for our group of friends to gather and catch up. Dennis and his wife were the perfect hosts. We are already discussing a repeat visit.

Dennis’s property was everything we needed. We had plenty of room for our 14 people. The separate houses were nice to give the infants and their parents a place to retreat to. The older kids loved the great room with the juke box where they could look out for boats. The house was well stocked which made it perfect for preparing our Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks Dennis!!

The property was perfect for our group. We had 2 families (15 people) so the 3 different houses worked perfect for us. Dennis was very responsive when we had an issue with a water heater. the issue was fixed that day. The Brophy' Family

The property was wonderful! The three homes were extremely clean and well furnished. The owners, Dennis and Carol, checked in with us and were so kind. There is a sandy beach that the young ones could dig in the sand and a dock that we used for fishing. This was by far the best vacation rental we have ever had.

Absolutely beautiful area with private beach and excellent floating and swimming fun. Awesome sunsets and plenty of room for outside games to be played . Lots of room inside and out for our big family of 15. Had great family dinners with the ease of the kitchen set up and dining areas. We were greeted by Dennis and Carol who answered our many questions 😊about the property. They are a very nice couple and checked in with a phone call mid week. This was a great quiet relaxing vacation with lots of family time. The fire-pit was excellent and fully stocked with all the wood we needed and we used it just about every night. Thank you Dennis and Carol for sharing your beautiful property with us.

The houses and grounds are spectacular. There was room for all 14 of us to be together in the dining room or the living area and also room for people to gather in smaller groups - D&D in the Man Cave with appropriate decor, games in the den, Triple Solitaire on the kitchen table etc. We played and ate and fished and paddled. The house is well equipped with everything we needed from extra refrigeration, laundry facilities and kitchen equipment to fishing rods, and sports equipment. Everyone was happy and enjoyed being together. It was a memorable vacation and we are grateful to our wonderful hosts who made it all possible!

We were super impressed by the size of all the bedrooms in the main house and the huge gathering places like the dining room, living room and bar room! The views are amazing, the beach and dock were favorite hangout places. The boat lift was excellent and allowed us to enjoy several trips per day with ease! The firepit is also wonderful and seats 12! The bungalow and man cave both with full kitchens allowed out group to spread out and really enjoy all the spaces. Thank you so much for a fantastic trip to celebrate the boys’ 25th!

This property is truly special, right on the bay with amazing views and plenty of room for socializing. Having the extra cottages separate from the main house is also a big plus to give a larger group a little separation. The owners are also amazing, very accommodating and they want to make your stay memorable. I would recommend this property to anyone and everyone.

My husband and I, our 5 children spouses and grandchildren rented this place for the first time after renting another property for the last 10 years. I was worried it wouldn't meet my family's expectations. The vote was unanimous, this will be our new vacation spot. The pictures don't do it justice. The room with the bar is right on the water. We were able to watch a lightning storm come in over the water while listening to the juke box with stupid sound speakers. The two additional guest houses were perfect for getting away from "too much family time". Again they were larger than the online pictures portray. We stopped cocktails while floating on one of the many floats provided and hung out on the private boardwalk overlooking the beach.

Beautiful property - even better than the pictures! Plenty of space for a week-long multi-generational family reunion. Our group included 15 of us, from ages 3 to 70, and everyone had a blast. The fire pit, lawn games, and juke box were all big hits. On sunny days, the deck and beach area were amazing. We brought our own floats and tied them to the dock for the week, but there are some provided as well. Thanks for a great stay, Dennis!

From start to finish this vacation for our family was one of our favorites. House is set up to party! We were bless with perfect weather and we’re able to use our boat to explore the beautiful waterways. Bedrooms were very comfortable and there was plenty of room for our party of 11. Having three houses was great. Everyone was happy. Owner was great and easy to deal with. We are already planning our return vacation.

We had a wonderful stay at the River House. We were looking for a place that could accommodate our extended family of 14 for a reunion, and this house was perfect! There was plenty of room to gather in the Main House for meals and fun, while offering each family private accommodations in the Cottage and Man Cave. We took advantage of all the property has to offer with swimming, fishing, and crabbing. We played basketball, corn hole and horseshoes. The jukebox was so much fun! We enjoyed making S'mores in the fire pit at night while star gazing. Hanging out on the dock or on the swing after dinner to enjoy spectacular sunsets was special. Thank you for your vision to create a great place to be togehter with family!

The property was perfect for a post-COVID large family get together! Most of us stayed in the huge main guest house, while one couple resided in their own house (larger bungalow). The private beach was perfect for my young son, he swam and built sand castles practically everyday! We also loved the firepit, horse shoes and the old-fashioned juke box! Dennis was very accommodating and great to work with! We hope to return for years to come!

It was wonderful. Very well put together. Lots of space for the family to spread out, play games, dance, cook, and eat. Decor was lively and fun, the jukebox put it over the top. It was a wonderful Christmas getaway. The outside was equally as wonderful. Watching the waves, standing on the dock/sitting on the great swing on the property was so tranquil. The sky was so clear that every sunset and sunrise was like a painting. Lighting up the fire pit and sitting around talking, drinking hot chocolate, and watching the sun go down was the perfect ending to our trip. The owners were the best. They welcomed us and stayed in contact when needed.

Relaxing and peaceful, with beautiful expansive views of the Elk River. The main great room at the back of the house if huge, with a juke box, TV and bar. It was a great place for the whole family to sit relax and engage with one another in a fabulous setting. We would highly recommend!

This property was everything we were looking for to have a 60th Birthday celebration. Our 14 extended family members fit very comfortably in the 3 houses, all of which were unique and special in their own way. The amenities were extraordinary!! So much to do right at the house. Lots to do in Chesapeake City also. Dennis was great! We wished we had booked it for a longer time.!!!!

Our stay at the river was almost fairy tale perfect. Our entire family of 10 adults and 4 children was very comfortable. The main house and the guest cottages were very clean and appointed well. Nothing fancy here, which works well for us on vacation, but there were plenty of games to play and fishing poles to fish from the dock ( the kids caught some large catfish and had a blast). Dennis was most accommodating and very friendly and communicative. We would like to return next summer if our plans allow.
