We truly enjoyed our stay! God blessed us with the ability to enjoy family, see the Ark and creation museum. The view of the house, hot tub, walking along the river and ride bikes was wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked with everything to make breakfast and dinner. We took a portable pickle ball set and played in the evening. Great getaway
The house was great, the coffee was a very welcome nice touch, and the house is perfectly situated for a Perfect North Slopes ski trip. Everything in the house worked or functioned perfectly and the welcome book was full of very useful information. This is our go to spot from now on.
Great location with incredible views! The deck could use some upkeep as it is getting some wear, but overall the property is wonderful. It was perfect for our three generation family mini vacation!

So glad you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for the wonderful! Our home does have standard stairs since itโs a three-story layout, with the main living area on the second floor. This makes it perfect for taking in those beautiful river views. Weโre happy to hear that didnโt keep you from enjoying your time here.
Cute, clean and welcoming home. It was the perfect place for a girls' weekend to recharge and have a little tubing shenanigans at Perfect North. The host's communication was to notch. Thank you.
The Riverview Home provided us the luxury of plenty of space and was comfortable and inviting. We were in the area to visit with family and this was an ideal location for us. The decks were the โgo to spotsโin the evening. Morning coffee was enjoyed on the big front deck watching river activity and some beautiful sunrises. This trip was very relaxing!
Plenty of space for everyone in our family having 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms was a big plus! Clean and had a well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed watching the river activity but busy road noise at times.
Wonderful host. Beautiful view, beautiful outdoor space with hot tub. Exceptionally clean. Super quick responses from host. Easy process. Awesome experience.
The house was clean and welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were clean and comfortable and the view was amazing! I would definitely stay here again!
It was great to come back to where we grew up for the weekend. Sitting on the deck overlooking the river for morning coffee was breathtaking! Thank you for a gorgeous place to stay!

We're so glad you had an amazing stay! We'd love to have you back to make more memories!
This was our first VRBO experience. The chair lift on the stairs was great for my mom. We really enjoyed the front balcony in the mornings and the evenings. The view of the river was excellent! I loved the proximity to the park and went over every morning of our stay to walk and run. The suggestions in the book provided were wonderful! We would stay here again!
