We had a great time visiting family at the River Nook. We had fun cooking family dinners together. The gas fireplace made it really cozy. Will definitely rent the River Nook again

House was beautiful and had a great view of the river. Although we were a few minutes from downtown Lancaster you felt like you were in the country. A couple of things that would have made our stay perfect: TVs in at least the master bed if not all of them and we never found steak knives.

The property is beautiful and located in a very quiet neighborhood. The property was clean and in good condition with little extras in the kitchen such as a coffee bar with all the amenities. The check in experience for a first timer using Vrbo was a bit frustrating. The code for the front door was not working and had to wait outside for 40 minutes trying to reach the owner. But with that being overall a good trip.

Great Place for Mini Vacation

The property was fun. All of the beds were super comfortable, and had nice, soft, and stylish linens. The soaps, shampoo, and conditioner provided were lovely. The fridge had a few condiments in it, and the coffee bar was well stocked. Everything was as expected based on the listing. The hosts were available for any issues that arrived. We had none. The back room with a TV, lots of windows, games, and a piano was our favorite room! We had wet and windy weather. It was nice to enjoy a fire, and be inside while looking outside. When it was not raining, we enjoyed the swings, and skipping rocks at the river. The one nice night, we enjoyed dinner on the patio. We look forward to a future visit, and will recommend it to our friends. We enjoyed the local downtown shops.

A beautiful place, easy access to the river, the pool was fun to swim in, very relaxing, and local to everything. We visit Dutch Wonderland it was only 10 minutes away. This place is kid friendly our 5 year old had a blast. Would definitely put this place in my save spots to go back to.
