Riverview Retreat

I have very accurate pictures listed for any guest to view. I have stated that as an artist I have many friends in the local artistic community and I cater to it. I put their talented work in the home for guests to enjoy. They have come in and helped me decorate. I believe an appreciation for the arts has to be taught at a young age. If you did not get that during your young years you may be one of the “plain and simple” crowd and not appreciate the work that was put into the house and art. I put lots of pictures up and narrative and then I leave it to guests to do the self reflection and book something plain and simple if that is what is desired. If you would like have your senses filled with creativity please book my location. I’ve gotten many notes in my guest book from people telling me they are going home with new ideas and they are filled with inspiration. That is what drives and uplifts me and my artist friends. If you are the person who needs sparse and simple but you want the hot tub too…..I’m sorry but you can see the pictures. You can’t fault me if you choose to book anyway. My life will never been in the simple and sparse. I don’t know how to do that.

Joan and her friends came and were not happy as soon as they got there. My pictures are very accurate. There were 4 of them. 4 ladies. I have 1 king bed, 1 queen bed and 1 bedroom with a day bed that pulls out to a king. I never advertise 4 bedrooms. If they each wanted their own area they did not say so and should have booked accommodations for that. They broke a picture and admitted it. I told them I would be filing the claim. I did it as cheaply as I could. I am not required to allow her to pick it the replacement. I sent her the receipt and she kept arguing with me. I did the work to reframe myself to keep the cost down and she still was not happy. If I had taken to a professional framer it would have been her whole deposit. This is all about retaliation. As far as locking herself out….. not one guest has ever had a problem but then again most people are relatively up to date on technology. My location is showcasing local artistic talent in the area. I advertise this. If you are a plain and simple person you should book plain and simple. Clearly this is what 4 ladies of a “certain age” needed. Some self reflection might have helped here.
