Could of been cleaner. Taking shoes off every time in house was a major inconvenience. Figuring out AC and fans could of been easier with instructions. BBQ and pizza oven along with bathroom window was filthy with spiders and webs. The flies that came in late afternoon was terrible they surrounded the door-thousands of them. Would of be nice to know that the nearest store was miles away. The yard and river were beautiful. the current is way too strong to go into.

We enjoyed our stay despite the rain. I needed to get away from work and recharge and this was the perfect place to do so. Having the river so close is amazing and my husband caught and released a fish. The dogs had a good time too. We would definitely stay here again.

This River Haven House is an absolutely breathtaking property! Grandparents (in their 80s) enjoyed walking down to the river every morning & enjoying riverfront view on the hammock. Grandkids loved hanging out in the HUGE game room in the garage with ping pong & foosball tables. Pups loved running on the big grassy area. We just wished we picked a cooler season, so we can enjoy the incredible yard more. And there a heavenly chicken coop on site nestled by a bamboo forest and water fountain. Highlight of our stay was when property manager asked to come by to feed chickens and brought us FRESH EGGS!!! Love the "from farm to table" experience.

We had a amazing stay celebrating my husband's birthday. The property was even more beautiful in person the home was very well stocked from exta blankets to wonderful fresh egss. The beds were very comfortable too. We felt like we were in our own little private park even our pups had a amazing time exploring the property. We hope to return soon this place is pretty magical from the soothing sounds of the river to the frogs at night we live in the city and this was just wonderful to get away from all that noise but still close enough to run into town or have food delivered. My husband is already taking about returning so he can campout in the tent next trip. The landscape is so lush and well maintained we were even lucky to spot in one of the trees a hawk and babys you will never get bored of the views I promise!
