Lovely property. Everything was very clean and the cottage was well stocked with necessities. There was plenty of space. Comfortable and quiet.

Highly recommend this lovely home! It was spotless, well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beds were extremely comfortable. Excellent communication from the rental staff - very clear and easy check in and check out information. It was exactly as described in the listing and the views were amazing. Huge trees and wildlife make the property one of our favorites we have ever stayed at. The pool and hot tub both were awesome as well. We definitely plan on staying here again in the future!

We stayed here for my son's baseball tournament at Premier Baseball. The ballpark was about 7 minutes away - so convenient!! The cottage was very well stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The pool and trampoline were wonderful ways to keep the teenagers entertained. I highly recommend the house for a family stay!

Beautiful home and has everything you didnt realize you needed for a week long stay with kids. Me and my family came in from NC for a wedding and had a wonderful stay here. The kids, 4 year old triplets and my 10 year old loved everything the house had to play with from toys, sand box, the pool, ect. The owners went out of their way to install child safety locks on all the doors leading outside, which was much appreciated! The pool is not fenced, though was not a problem for my family as my kids are very active in the water and taught water safety. The kitchen was stocked and had everything needed to buy groceries for dinner and cook. Washer and dryer was awesome to have and they had all supplies for you. The property is quite and peaceful! Definitely worth the stay!

It was so beautiful and relaxing! The house had everything we needed. The only down fall was there was only one bathroom.

This is our 3rd visit, every time we stay here, it just feels so right. I love everything about this property. It is a true gem.

This property was so beautiful. The house was so comfortable and decorated like "Joanna Gaines" style vibe!. The beds were all king size and we slept like a baby. There is so many sitting areas and tables inside and out. The pool was clean and so much fun. Wish I could just stay and retire here. We will definitely come back again. We also seen so many deers in the yard daily. It was an awesome weekend getaway.

A great way to relax and feel like you are miles from the city. The pool was a wonderful way to beat the heat. If you don’t want to travel far but want to get away, this is you place.

Amazing property! The pictures do not do this place justice! The pool was fantastic- clean, great temperature, and just enough shallow area for our little ones to enjoy! The house? Wow! It is spread out and comes with anything you could want, including all the pots and pans you'd need to feed an army! The living room is all windows and provides great views of nature. Our kids loved the toys that were provided and the extra space to spread out and play. We cant wait to get back for a longer stay!

Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect for our extended family! Smores around the large firepit, hand warming around the gas firepit on the back deck. Watching the owls, rabbits, and deer throughout the day! The deer sitings were pleasantly frequent throughout each day. Home was cozy and warm. Experienced heavy rain over 1 night which allowed us to watch the sky dance from the comfort of the wrap around windows in the living room! My grandson and even my son had a blast on the trampoline! My grandson also loved hanging the hammock outside each day. He loved laying back in it and many times we had to coax him back inside at the end of the day! Kitchen has everything you could need and beds are super comfy! If your looking for a home that offers everything you could need and a beautiful property close to nature, book this home! Thanks Annegret and Jimmy! It's always a joy to stay around RRC!

Once again Annegret and Jimmy have given our family a most memorable and amazing experience at River Rock Cottage! Their home offers a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere inside and out. Stunning views of the property, beautifully appointed home, and fully stocked kitchen. You'll find everything exactly as described in the listing. The Shaw's go above and beyond to make sure guests are welcomed and comfortable. If your looking for a little piece of paradise, this property is exactly that! We have stayed every summer for several years and will definitely continue to do so! Thank you again Jimmy and Annegret! You are absolutely amazing!!!!

This is our second stay here, first time was 2016. It’s a magical experience. The second time seems more magical than the first because we already know we had a good time the first time. And having pictures of our kids 6 years ago & today.
This place is amazing, the pool is pretty big & in the sun (stayed at a rental where the pool is always shaded due to the trees, not the same at all). The rental is on a massive property allowing for nice walks.
This place has an outdoor shower which added to the experience. Showering with the sounds of birds and nature all around us.
There are many different seating areas, a place where we can have a bonfire, a fish pond, nicely decorated, indoors & outdoors.
You can even see the stars on a clear night.
Definitely did not disappoint, this place is amazing & the owners are lucky to own such a beautiful place,
The only downfall is that there is only one bathroom that is shared by our whole family.

This house, property and hosts were incredible. You feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere in your own little world. The house was clean and had everything you could ever need for a stay. The outdoors were amazing with huge trees, a great pool, and multiple places to relax. If you’re looking for a place to get away from it all and relax with family and friends, this is it!

Man did we enjoyed our stay! Plan on booking again when in the area. The house was beautiful in and out. Clean, spacious and full of entertainment. We have a no electronics rule while on vacation and our family was able to disconnect and enjoy the amenities. The pool was clean, with many floats available. The grounds were well kept. Loved using the trampoline, playhouse, the many seating areas, the swing and hammock, and the grassy areas; also the fish pond was nice to look at. The kitchen was well equipped, had everything we needed! And finally the welcome treats left on the counter were a family favorite. Thank you! We will be back

Adored this cottage! Communication with the property owner was fantastic. We had everything we needed for a fantastic family Memorial Day weekend. Just outside the city but felt completely off the grid. Exactly what we wanted. It was perfect.

Part of the reason we booked this place was to enjoy the spa/hot tub that is specifically mentioned in the listing description, as well as shown in photos. It wasn't until we arrived and contacted the owner to ask how to work the hot tub, that we were told it doesn't work and never has. That was very disappointing, and feels pretty dishonest to advertise a "spa" in your listing when it doesn't even work.
Otherwise, the house was good overall and we enjoyed our stay. The outdoor areas in particular are lovely, and the kitchen is large and great for cooking for a crowd. It had almost every dish/appliance we needed. The beds, bathroom, and towels all seemed clean.
One smaller issue is that the cleaners have definitely been neglecting things like dusting and mopping, as there were noticeable cobwebs swinging from the ceiling, dust build-up in crevices/doors, and our white socks immediately looked very dirty from the unwashed floors. Overall the house seemed clean except for these issues.

The wife and i wanted a private getaway. This place delivered that pretty well. Was not as private as we wanted, house next door is close and the yard is fairly open. The house was fully stocked with anything you would need. The house was extremely clean and orderly. The fire pit area was awesome and we enjoyed it nightly. The one knock i would give is that the pool deck area needs a good pressure wash.

My family and I had to pack up fast and evacuate for hurricane Ida and arriving to this home was the breath of fresh air we needed. Although we were watching the news and worried for our house back in New Orleans, we had much needed distractions from the deer and beautiful scenery. The home is even more beautiful in person and has a “homey” feeling. We will hopefully be coming back for a real vacation next time. Thank you Annegret and Tiffany!

We stayed one week for a baseball tournamnet. The house is lovely. I enjoyed morning coffee looking at the wildlife (deer, armadillo, owls and an armadillo). the pool is refreshing and clean -we enjoyed it every day. There are lots of sitting areas to hang out outside. We never used the fire pit but next time we will to cook s'mores. The hosts are very nice and responsive if you need anything.

Enjoyed the quiet place and for sure the pool. Great place to stay with family or friends. We highly recommend it.

Everything was clean and smelled wonderful!! The light switches are quirky but no big deal. Our family had a wonderful time! I honestly can’t say enough! We read the other reviews, so we were prepared for a lot. The pool isn’t heated but it was perfect for us. The hot tub doesn’t work but our kids loved the little pool. The steps going into the house are a bit taller then regular steps and there isn’t a handrail, so some us were a bit slow getting in. Overall, we want to stay again and hope it’s soon!!!

We had an amazing time at rhe Cottage with our 19month old twin boys, 7 year old daughter, and Au Pair. The property was well maintained, clean, and just what we needed.

What a wonderful property!! We stayed here in the middle of a travel trailer trip and what a great place to unwind!! The host provided space to park or 30’ trailer which made this stay so much more comfortable! The property was super clean and comfortable, pool was fantastic for our 7 year old. The location was quite and private. I also want to say what a pleasure the host is, very helpful and responsive - we truly felt at home here!!!! We are planning to make another trip to this property and can’t wait!
