The home was very easy to find and such a peaceful drive there. The view of the river was nice and easy to walk down to with the kids. The home was clean and was fully stocked with everything anyone who would want to cook. Callie reached out and was so kind and ensured we found the house and were having a good time.Would definitely stay again!!

Relaxing weekend at the happy peach

We had a great time at this property! Nice and quiet, secluded enough to feel disconnected to the world but close enough to Town to get almost anything you needed. We enjoyed the river and the firepir here, and the wildlife that paid us visits.

We booked this trip very last minute and we had excellent communication throughout the process. We were looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway and that’s exactly what we got. The house was immaculate. It was very roomy yet cozy and comfortable. They provide literally everything you can think of and some things that you wouldn’t think of. We even cooked dinner at the house one evening. At one point, we lost power and the host was in constant communication regarding the issue. We made the most of it. They provided a battery operated lantern and board games and we had a good time. We saw lots of wildlife, but honestly just watching the water go by was so peaceful and relaxing. A all around. Absolutely zero negative things to say. The beds were very comfortable as well. Plenty of outdoor seating. They provide everything you need to start a fire in the pit. My personal favorite thing was the screened in porch. It was so nice to bundle up and have coffee in the morning while watching the birds and we even saw an otter! It was just a very nice getaway.

River Recharge

We booked the Happy Peach for a relaxing weekend getaway for our family of 4. We had a rainy few days, but enjoyed every minute of our stay. The property is amazing and Callie was a wonderful host. A great spot to stay put and unwind, but also a short drive to hiking, dining, and shopping.

Relaxing home away from home

Our family really enjoyed being here. The house had all the features we loved and more. We especially enjoyed sitting by the river and the screened in porch I’m the evenings. The house was very spacious yet cozy. Like home away from home. I especially want to say our host was so attentive and easy to contact if needed. We look forward to going back again.

Amazingly peaceful spot on the river

Really cute cabin, very well equipped! Perfect outdoor screened porch for meals overlooking the river. Easy access to put in/take out kayaks and tubes for scenic float trips. We loved the location so close (but feeling remote from) Strasburg with lots of shops and restaurants. Caretaker was super responsive. Wonderful stay!
