I booked a two-night stay at The Riverbend Retreat for my husband and two sons. All three of them raved about the location and cleanliness of the home. They said that if they return to that area for another fishing trip, or if our whole family ever has the opportunity to all go together, we are booking Tim’s home, without hesitation, if it is available. Tim was a wonderful host, and we highly recommend him and his perfect retreat.

As good as advertised

Great place to just relax on the river bank. The house and property are both kept very clean. It’s in a great location if you’re chasing after some trout.

Men's Retreat

The house was perfect for accomplishing what we set out to do. Proximity to the river was ideal and the deck large deck made watching the river roll by very comfortable.

Great fishing weekend

We have stayed here several times. It fits 2 families very easily. We fish straight from the bank with our waders on, and usually do pretty well! We love this spot!

Great host and great stay

Had a great experience and would recommend to anyone coming to the area to fish. Caught fish wading right out the backyard. Talked to a few locals who reaffirmed our best fishing was right at our VRBO. Clear check in and check out instructions. Would come back.

Family Fishing Trip

We picked the perfect place to spend our White River fishing trip. The house was accurately described on VRBO and we lacked for nothing. My grandsons were able to fish within view of the deck and fish were abundant. Above all the house was clean and comfortable.

Great getaway

This is a great place to vacation especially if you’re wanting to do trout fishing, which can be done behind the house in the White River. Tim Taylor is an excellent host, as he provided everything we needed. We all caught loads of trout. We will definitely be coming back!
