About this property

River Retreat with private apartment and deck on the beautiful Delaware River

Tranquil and relaxing best describes the lovely getaway treasure. Bordered by the
fully wooded Bulls Island State Park and the Delaware River with easy access to hiking, biking, kayaking and much more. Sit on the deck and watch the river and wildlife (there is a baldheaded eagles nest nearby, lots of dear, beaver, river otter, etc.) At sunrise the sky and river have a fantastic salmon-pink hue.

We had a lovely stay for a quick girls weekend. The location was very convenient to new hope/lambertville and the waterfront stay was very relaxing. The deck area was perfect for dining, relaxing and hanging out. The fire pit area was very well set up. The beds were comfortable and everything very clean. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at River Retreat! We stayed for a little over two weeks with our baby and had a great experience. The apartment is cute, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable longer stay.The views are absolutely beautiful and our favorite part was sitting out on the porch, relaxing and taking in the scenery (do make sure to keep all the doors closed and there are a lot of flying things) Our host was kind and responsive and was always happy to help with any questions we had throughout our stay.The location is also fantastic. The whole area is so charming, with Stockton, Frenchtown, and New Hope all nearby and plenty to see and do.

Enjoyed the stay. Stuart was a great host. Loved the amenities and being right in the lake. The porch was wonderful in the morning for coffee. So many things to do nearby. The canal path was perfect for a stroll along the river Would definitely stay there again if in the area.

Even in the heart of frozen winter the River Retreat proved to be a welcome respite from the world--that includes everything from the private view of the Delaware River, to the nightly sounds of owls. Can't imagine how nice it would be the other seasons!

Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and the beautiful vistas. I agree that the grounds need some attention. I was in Israel visiting my grandchildren when the war broke out. Canceled flights made it impossible to get out of the country until the end of June. I had a lot of catching up to do but have made good progress. I have even been able to get the dock back up.

This River Retreat was exactly that — such a well appointed lovely haven. Even though it was still winter, the weather was warm enough to enjoy the lovely hammock swing on the deck. Stuart was incredibly responsive and very accessible regarding any possible question or need. Since the River Haven sits between Frenchtown on one side and Lambertville and new Hope on the other, fabulous food and lovely boutiques, and everything else. These small towns offer are a short drive in either direction.We very much enjoyed our too-short stay and look forward to returning in the hopefully near future.

About the host

Hosted by Stuart

Host profile image

I am a retired environmental physician. I love nature and spend a lot of my time hiking, biking and kayaking around this area. I am blessed with a beautiful home and property and I love sharing it with guests from around the world.

Why they chose this property

This part of the Delaware is one of the nicest areas of the Country. The beauty is in the natural vistas. There is so much to do and yet doing nothing is blissfully enjoyable.

What makes this property unique

This property is surrounded by the Delaware River in front, Bulls Island State Park forest area on the left and a lovely hiking/biking path behind. The property is at the end of a private dirt lane. It has two pond areas, one with a waterfall feature. Lots is of sitting areas and fire pits. It’s bucolic and serene.
