We enjoyed our stay at River’s Edge! The house was as expected - very clean and comfortable. The river is gorgeous and we even caught 2 fish! We would love to come back one day.
Lovely cottage right on the river. Beautifully decorated, with everything that we needed. Perfect place to decompress and relax to the sound of the river.
Unique property with lots of character. It was very comfortable, the river was beautiful and my son caught 2 fish just steps from the house. The hosts were truly great. I loved it and we hoped to go back next spring
The setting is beautiful, sounds of the river are relaxing. The little cabin is charming with everything hyoid might need. Location is convenient to everything. Highly recommend.
Loved being right on the water. It was a short drive to waterfalls and the highlands downtown. We loved the visiting the dry falls which was only about 10 min drive from the property. Additionally, it was nice to just hang at the house, play in the water and grill out dinner. We plan on returning soon!
This property is exactly right for a summer weekend away - the water access cannot be beat and lots of great hiking nearby. The cabin is comfortable and well equipped. It was really special to be able to bring our dog- she loved sitting on the front porch watching the fireflies (and rabbits) in the field.
Really nice house. Clean as a whistle. Great Location.
