The River House - Fly Fishing Paradise

Hi Jamie. Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you found the house clean, spacious, and perfectly located for your adventures. It’s fantastic that you and your dog were able to enjoy the nearby hiking trails. We always aim to make check-in and communication as seamless as possible, so we're glad that stood out to you. You and your pup are welcome back anytime! Best, Trish

Hi Jeanne, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. It means a lot that you noticed the comfortable beds, the renovated bathrooms, additional closets and the wonderful spot on the Ausable River, close to all the amenities of the area!! And yes, that family really does come back - and still do. This cabin has been an important part of our own family’s life for many years, and we love that it has become part of so many other families’ traditions too. We’re sorry the stay didn’t fully match what you were hoping for, and we appreciate your honest feedback. About the oven: the knob can stick a little when you first turn it on, but once it catches, it works perfectly. We’ve added a note about it in the kitchen section of the arrival notes. We’re also adding a good tea kettle, which is a great suggestion. Wine glasses are a bit of a running story here. We’ve stocked nice sets several times, but they tend to break and quietly disappear, so we’ve kept things simple. The house does have instructions for the wood stove and a guidebook with our favorite local restaurants, shops, and fall foliage spots. We’re sorry you didn’t come across them, and we’ll make sure they’re easy to spot for future guests. As for the road, traffic comes and goes with the seasons. Leaf-peeping season is our busiest time of year, so you may have visited during one of the rare stretches when traffic is higher. Most of the time, all we hear is the river! As far as the path down to the water, it is a part of the natural, wooded character of the property, and we’ve chosen to keep it that way. I believe our photos and description show this. At its heart, this is just a lovely, simple cabin in the woods, built for families and groups of up to eight who love being close to the North country attractions and the nature it provides, playing in the river, skiing, hiking, biking and evenings around the and playing game. We know that kind of rustic stay isn’t the right fit for everyone, and we hope every guest finds the place that suits them best. Thank you, too, for the helpful note about ticks. That’s great advice for anyone visiting the North Country with a furry friend. We hope the fall colors were as beautiful as you hoped, and we love too! We truly appreciate you staying with us. Best, Trish

Hi Deidra, It was a pleasure having you and your family stay at the Riverhouse, being exposed to Mother Nature in a winter wonderland is the bomb- totally agree. Please come back anytime. Happy New Year! Best, Trish

Hi Cora, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you chose our Riverhouse for your visit to the Adirondacks and we appreciate you bringing your dogs to stay. We’d like to clarify that the pet fee is not a pet deposit and it is not refundable. The fee helps cover the additional cleaning required after pet stays, which allows us to continue offering a pet-friendly home. We’re truly sorry to hear about the incident with your dog. While we understand that was stressful, pets remain the responsibility of their owners during their stay with you. As a small, locally owned rental property in the Adirondacks, we work hard to maintain our home and support our caretaking and housekeeping team. For these reasons, we’re unable to return the pet fee. We appreciate your understanding and wish you all the best. Best, Trish and Mark
