We really enjoyed the sound of the river, the quiet neighborhood, all the amenities and seeing wildlife every day. We hope to be back in the future, appreciated the Guestbook of Information and we love that there are so many great hikes nearby.

We came to River Retreat for relaxation and we got it! We enjoyed the cabin, dock, fire pit, hot tub and cold plunging in the river. It's addictive! Thank you so much for sharing such a great place! Clean and wonderful!

We came up from Tampa to celebrate a birthday on the 10th. We went swimming, zip-lining and hiked up to a waterfall. The cabin was so cozy, calm and fun! You did an AMAZING job!

Angela B - 3/11/2024
Lovely home that has been cleverly decorated. The exterior of the property was great. Loved that the home had 2 fire pits, one up by the house and the other one down at the river. The stairs down to the river was a huge plus. Home has a great interior layout and creates a cozy environment that is both fun and relaxing.
