Amazing!!
We had an amazing stay at Jhonny’s Rivermist Retreat. It is clearly observed that Jhonny had put a lot of thoughts and efforts in to the place. All the watercraft’s available are great to enjoy, the river behind is beautiful and bliss for swimmers. Kitchen is fully stocked as mentioned in listing. We would be definitely coming back!!

Fall retreat!
This cottage had everything we needed for our stay! The river was quite peaceful, we were there in the fall so probably not as busy as in the summer. The cottage was the perfect size for our group with everything being new and updated. Great stay, we hope to be able to enjoy it again!😊

Quiet location on a beautiful river, this location is perfect for whatever you’re looking for. My group spent time enjoying the canoe and kayaks, and even set up our own croquet set in their large yard. I highly recommend a weekend here. 10/10

Hi there! I am just a guy that loves his family time and the cottage lifestyle...

Why they chose this property

Growing up we never did much as a family, my parents were often working trying to provide and they were not the camping or cottaging type anyways. It has always been a goal and a dream of mine to have a family cottage so when you wanted to escape the city or have a weekend to yourself you could.
When I began looking for a place of my own I came across some really interesting spots and not all of them were practical to say the least. So once I came across this place and how private the area is yet so close to everything important I was immediately drawn in...I vividly remember sitting on the dock with my real estate agent watching a boat drive by and them waving to me while I listened to the water crash into the dock and shoreline... it was then that I knew this place was perfect!
I have steadily been improving this property ever since to make it more than just a summer and weekend get away. It is now a 4 season retreat that can be enjoyed anytime and if you are looking for some privacy and peace and quiet then this place is where you will find it.
Since sitting on that dock for the first time I have had so many wonderful days and weekends watching the kids of all ages in my family play and enjoy themselves together...something that I never had growing up. These are the most precious memories that I own now. I hope that you discover them too...
