We had a wonderful 4 days at Rivers Nest. We fished right on the property and made s'mores at the fire pit every night. Having an endless supply of free firewood was so nice. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals. The location is the best of everthing - beautiful views off the deck, peaceful location and very close to area wineries. Perfect spot for some family togetherness and fun. Oh and the dog loved it too - huge yard to play fetch.

Beautiful Property

Very clean property that is pet friendly. This cottage sits right on the Grand River which made it such a peaceful experience. The owners were in communication often to make sure we had everything we needed. Far enough away from things to be relaxing but no more than 20 minutes from the nearest store.

Very peaceful getaway

My husband and I and our two adult children enjoyed the covered outdoor deck, since it rained much of the time. The neighborhood is quiet, so it’s easy to hear the birds, and we even had a woodpecker with us one evening. We visited many of the nearby wineries and had a very relaxing time. Beds are comfortable, too!

For an impromptu family getaway, Rivers Nest is a quaint hideaway. Nestled in a quiet spot in the heart of Genevas wine country, this cottage is a family friendly retreat. Wether it’s wine, Bourbon (Red Eagle distillery) or if you’re more of the outdoors type the re are plenty of parks (Lake Erie Metroparks) to choose from for your next outdoor adventure. Rivers Nest is deceivingly spacious and has great amenities with a huge front lawn, and an amazing covered back deck that overlooks the Grand River. Literally minutes away from some of the historic covered bridges, Rivers Nest is a great escape. Pet friendly and the host is responsive and friendly. Highly recommended.

Relaxing mid-week break

Just retired, I wanted to take a short trip to chill and decompress. I brought my close friend and my dog. Rivers Nest met all our needs. Check-in was very simple. Owner was very communicative. Sitting on the covered deck watching the birds and river was just what I needed. And of course, you are very close to many great wineries. I highly recommend.

Great Stay!

My husband and I as well as our two fur-babies had a really nice time at the Rivers Nest. It was our 35th wedding anniversary and Valarie had a card and freshly made cookies waiting for us when we arrived. Those little touches go a long way. The house was clean and very welcoming. We plan to go back again and again!
