My family and I had a very special time at the White Rapids Retreat. We enjoyed a fun-filled week of swimming and fishing on the river and our dogs loved running around the grass outside. We made unforgettable memories and already can't wait to be back. Thank you!!
We will be back!This place is so pretty, the views right out the back door are incredible. We had a great time and are already thinking of when we can get back here. The house is really nice, everything you need is here and the kitchen is very nice. Husband went out fishing every morning, so when I woke up to the beautiful view of this river, there was my husband fishing Rob was very nice and easy to get a hold of if you had any questions.
Beautiful house, premium location! My family had a vacation well remember forever. Stepping right out the back door to the river bank was a dream, we spent all day outside playing in the river, tubing, fishing, grilling and relaxing. We had a campfire every night while the kids ran around and played. The home is large, clean and stocked with everything you would need. We ventured to Helen for shopping, lunch and sightseeing- only a 20-30 minute drive. We hope to be back soon!
We enjoyed our stay for a few days at this beautiful place. The river was so nice and relaxing. Rob was quick to respond with any questions or issues. Would definitely stay again!
Love this property! It’s our 5th time staying over the years! Perfect location on the river. Property is well kept up! Communication with owners is easy if needed!
Beautiful views of the river! The house was very clean and had all amenities including relaxing hot tub. Highly recommend spending a week there any season!
This place was absolutely amazing and the views were stunning. The entire house was spotless. The host has labeled all switches and left directions on how to use hot tub and grill, along with an entire book of local recommendations. This was the last stop of our multi state vacation and we didn’t want our vacation to end. The driveway is steep and we almost thought we were in the wrong location until we made it halfway down the driveway. This place left us speechless. The water was so beautiful and we enjoyed every minute we could sitting and listening to the rushing water and wading across to the island and fished for hours each day. Our three pups loved the property as well and even dove right in the water to join us on the river to fish and explore. The beds were a little stiff for our liking but everyone likes a different firmness and it was so dark at night since it was so remote. We will for sure be booking vacation at this place again. We can’t wait to bring back the rest of our family to visit. 10 out of 10 for sure!
