It was amazing. The porches were gated so I never had to worry about my dogs getting out. They could just go into the yard without being leashed up. My kids loved all the different porches to explore as well as loved the games in the basement. So relaxing and amazing.
Amazing place to stay! You need 4x4 to get up the driveway, very steep and slick

Reviewer Comments:
Good river view. The river is deep enough to swim in if you can brave the steep bank and submerged boulders. A relatively secluded cabin; no one was in the three other cabins on the short road. We took many walks on the roads without seeing anyone except deer and geese. The pillows upstairs were too thick so bring your own unless your neck is as long as a giraffe's. Drive in is fine except the last 100 yards, which is steep and starting to wash away. Very comfortable cabin, no other complaints.
Response from VrboOwner on 10 Jul, 2026
Thank you for your review and for staying with us. We are glad you enjoyed the secluded atmosphere, the river views, and the local wildlife.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the pillows. It is ridiculous how long it takes to break new pillows in.

Overall, this was a great cabin. It is beautiful and so peaceful. Deer are everywhere and they will let you feed them corn from just 1-2 feet away. Everything was clean, the hot tub, sauna, everything, which isn’t always the case at others we have stayed. This cabin had everything for the dogs and they had the best time! We were able to access the river like we thought we would be able to, the embankment is too high to fish or swim directly behind the cabin. Also, there was a burn ban our entire stay, so were unable to use the fire pit.
My family and I had a wonderful stay at the R&R River Retreat. The cabin and grounds are well-kept and very nice. We had a wonderful 4 nights. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved our stay. The cabin is very well appointed and has everything you could possible need. The driveway is a little scary at first, but after going up and down it a couple of times it’s fine. The scenery is amazing, we had a bunch of deer come by to nibble on feed bought for them. The fishing was ok, my son caught one bass (I think) and was happy. We wound up not bringing our pup, but I would rate this 5-star in terms of being dog-friendly. The entire bottom deck is gated and the gated area for bathroom-time is more than sufficient for a dog to do its business. We loved it and would love to return!

Cabin was nice and clean. Not remote at all, there is a busy campground across the River from the cabin that was very loud and you have neighbors on both sides. The cabin had everything we needed for a four day stay and was comfortable. Despite the noise we had a very nice time.

We rented R & R River Retreat for four nights and had a great time. The cabin is well-equipped, clean, and comfortable and is right on the river. Saw lots of beautiful deer. The owners even provided food for us to put in the deer feeders so we could watch them eat! Great porches. We highly recommend this cabin.

We appreciated all the little things in the cabin and the views (including the dear on our last day) were phenomenal. It was exactly what we were looking for to get away and enjoy some downtime.
The whole family went to the cabin to celebrate his milestone birthday. It was absolutely wonderful the owners did a great job with making it feel just like home. My only complaint is that the driveway is too steep for comfort.

We had a very nice stay here. It was what we expected for rest and relaxation. The beds were comfortable. We built a campfire at the firepit and made smores. We built a fire in the fireplace. The kitchen was stocked with Kerig,coffee pot, crockpot,kitchen scissors and panini maker. The only thing missing was a can opener. There was a nice screened in porch to sit and look down at the river (which has a few rapids just not time of year to be in the water). We saw 4 deer walk right up one morning and one night a buck on the property. There are crows and squirrels also. I would stay here again. 😀

We had the best time at R&R River Retreat! It was our second visit and everything was great with the cabin, well stocked kitchen, great management. And the bonus was the deer who came to the feeders.

We enjoyed our stay at R & R River Retreat. We were greeted by two "Mama Deer" when we arrived. They were so beautiful and ensured their friends new we had the goods: corn, watermelon, apples and more. Its the most deer we've ever seen in our lives. The cabin was lovely, inviting, beautifully set next to the river. Thank you for a wonderful vacation with our friends and our pups.
