As soon as you arrive at Riverpoint, you'll be greeted by its striking dark blue and white A-Frame exterior and charming riverfront setting. Newly renovated and designed for year-round getaways, Riverpoint blends modern comforts with the character of a waterfront cabin.

Step inside the light-filled, open-concept living room, where a cozy fireplace and oversized velvet sectional create plenty of space to relax and reconnect. Settle in for a movie on the 75-inch Roku TV or simply enjoy time together after a day on the river.

The fully equipped chef's kitchen is ready for everything from family breakfasts to group dinners. An Italian Verona electric range features dual ovens, so you can cook dinner in one and dessert in the other. You'll also find an espresso machine, Keurig, and a generous selection of cookware and baking essentials.

On the main level, two beautifully designed bedrooms each feature California king beds, wall murals, and 50-inch Roku TVs. A full bathroom with a marble vanity and bathtub is also located on this floor.

Head up the floating staircase to the second floor, where the primary bedroom offers a California king bed, 55-inch Roku TV, and dedicated workspace with high-speed Wi-Fi. The en-suite bathroom features a rain shower for a spa-like start or end to your day.

Visit the A-Frame boathouse, where canoes, life jackets, and paddles are provided for guests. The floating dock and canoe launch make it easy to head out and explore the Port Tobacco River.

Spend the afternoon fishing from a canoe, watch for bald eagles along the river, or slow down with a nap in the hammock. As evening arrives, relax in the hot tub or gather around the riverside firepit for s'mores and stories.

Adorable house was just right for my family

My family had a wonderful time in this stylishly designed home. There were so many wonderful amenities and there was really something for everyone. We especially loved the fire pit, the hot tub, and the theatre room. The hosts were so sweet and very responsive. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous home that made our group of 8 adults, 6 kiddos, and 2 dogs feel right at home. Very clean and we commented multiple times on how well-stocked the kitchen and bathrooms were. Bonus points for having plenty of *non-chipped* dinner and glassware, higher-end bathroom products, and high-quality toilet paper and paper towels. (It sounds basic, but so many rentals I've stayed at previously really cheap out on these things and it makes a big difference). This home didn't cheap out on anything. We had a FABULOUS time!

WOW WOW WOW!!!

WOW WOW WOW!!! is how I thought of this rental when I saw the listing and I knew it was going to be the place to stay. Now that we've stayed there, I can say that it lived up to all my expectations! The listing on VRBO is very accurate. The home is absolutely beautiful. It was immaculate and comfortable. The owners have put a lot of thought into making the home a place the entire family can enjoy. They were easy to get hold of when I had a question. I highly recommend.

Can't Say Enough Great Things!

Starting with the booking process to check out Alma was quick to answer questions and was extremely helpful. As soon as we walked into the property we were already wanting to plan a trip back with the kids. Every details was thought of from the basics to details that were above and beyond other properties we have booked. The canoes were great and we also brought our paddle boards and enjoyed the water. We brought our dog and the fenced yard was perfect for letting her run around and enjoy the house as well. All of the thoughtfulness Alma and her team put into this property shine through even in labelling light switches so you aren't struggling to figure things out as a guest. Every time we thought of something we might need, it was there, even a wheelbarrow to haul would from the truck to the firepit! The third floor loft kid's area made us sad w were on an adults only trip, but definitely will have us coming back with the whole family next time!
