We stayed the weekend of Hurricane Isaias, so it was wet and wonderful. Sharon went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. The home is lovely, clean, and the communication was great. We had a great vacation. 10/10

Upon arrival, it was obvious that this is a well cared for property. Everything was very clean and very welcoming. The home and the outbuilding has just about anything you would need for a comfortable stay. If there is anything that you might need, the host communication is excellent and very accommodating. We did not use the hot tub but did put our feet in the South Fork water flowing beside the house to cool off a little. This was an excellent choice for my husband and me to stay for the convenience of hiking trails for me and motorcycle and mountain biking trails for my husband.

This was the perfect extended weekend get away for our family. My husband loved riding his motorcycle along the windy and scenic roads while my daughter and I enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the hot tub and the beautiful view of the river and farmlands. The robes that are provided are a wonderful addition to use when coming and going from the hot tub. My daughter accidentally left behind a pillow and hoodie and Sharon reached out to us and mailed them to us at her own cost!

Home away from home

Our stay at the River House was everything we hoped it would be for our Thanksgiving visit. It’s a tranquil setting along the river and plenty of amenities for the kids and adults. Sharon and Bob are consummate hosts. We hope to stay again on our return visit.

Host was very accommodating. Hot tub was perfect for soothing sore bones after riding motorcycles all day.The fire pit next to the babbling brook was a great place to relax with friends. The house was spotless and the large leather furniture was comfortable. Would definitely come back.

Fabulous family time!

We spent each morning sipping coffee in the Adirondack chairs by the river. One day we set up our easels along the river and painted. The fire pit was another favorite of ours! We had a wonderful time!

Back of the Dragon

Rode the Back of the Dragon, and paddled at Hungry Mother. Had a great time visiting Marion and Tazewell. The property was lovely and quiet. Very enjoyable. Our host went above and beyond when we had a bit of car trouble too.

Fantastic Spot

House was in the country but less than 15 mins from restaurants and shops. The host was quick to respond to questions and had little touches around the house to make our stay easier (I.e. fire starters and lighters for the outdoor fire pit, stuff for s’mores in the fridge, etc.). The kids enjoyed fishing in the creek, relaxing in the hot tub, and playing pool. I definitely recommend this spot.

Beautiful River View!

The river and amenities were amazing. Firewood and supplies for s'mores, pingpong in the barn, pool table in the basement. An absolutely beautiful property. Lots of different areas to sit outside, both covered and uncovered. Very comfortable outdoor furniture. The host was amazing - helped us with some questions we had about the area. A great place to stay!

Wonderful weekend getaway!

The property was exactly as was described: beautiful location, comfortable. Communication with the owners was very fast & super helpful. The owners take great pride in their home & have gone above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The home was very clean & well taken care of. We really appreciated the small touches that were supplied by the owners like ample paper products, trash bags, s’more fixings & even shampoo & soap in the event you forgot to bring some with you!😀

Family getaway

The property and accommodations were better than expected. The home was beautiful, clean with all the amenities needed. It sits on a flowing river surrounded by wildlife. Every day we would see an abundance of deer and birds. My boys loved the pool table and played every night. They also enjoyed riding bikes and playing ping pong. There a several spots along the river you can fish, Hosts were quick to respond with any questions and checked on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. If we are in the area again will definitely try and stay here if available.
