Home away from home
We (4 adults), stayed here for a wedding. We also brought our dog. It had a very homey feel. Clean, comfortable and perfect location. I do have to say, and this isn't about the owners, but the neighbors somewhere have 2 dogs that surprised us twice. Came from the river up to the house. We had a full day to enjoy the river, even the dog got in! It rained a couple of days. There are games and dvd's to keep you occupied. Beds were comfortable! Would absolutely recommend this location. Thanks for a great stay!

Peaceful and relaxing!
Everything was wonderful at this house! Having the water right outside was a huge plus and provided fun during the day thanks to the ample supply of kayaks. We loved the firepit at night and appreciate the supply of firewood. The inside decor is charming, kitchen has everything you need, beds were cozy, and couch was comfy. Our family of five (including three teenagers) were all very happy with our time here and would return again.

Peaceful Winter Retreat
Cabin is located on prime spot with beautiful view of the Rifle River. Cozy and quiet; exceptionally clean; well-stocked kitchen; beds very comfortable. Rained on and off the whole time, but it we still enjoyed campfires at night, and the raindrops falling on the river added to the serenity of this beautiful cabin. Highly recommend; will return this summer or fall to enjoy the river.

Fantastic, relaxing weekend
This cottage was perfect for my family (me, my mom, my grandparents, and two dogs). The property is beautiful and secluded with only one neighbor (and you can barely see their home). The picnic table by the river was so nice to sit at in the morning while the dogs enjoyed the breeze. The cottage itself was very clean, organized, and well stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, etc. The living room is spacious enough that we still had plenty of room to maneuver even with two dog beds on the floor. The couch is very comfy - I took 3 naps totaling 8 hours on our second day! We ventured to Tawas one day and enjoyed an afternoon exploring. If we had more time we would have done more nearby but with a short weekend our main goal was to disconnect and relax. All four of the humans and both of the dogs agreed that we want to come back as soon as we can in the spring! Thank you for a wonderful weekend :)

Fabulous location, property, amenities etc. I plan on coming back. We have a small request that the owners supply ice cube trays and a lighter for the fire pit. Not being a smoker we had to utilize our Girl Scout abilities. Thank you paper towels and grill. Everyone had fun during our adventure to the rifle river.

Even better than the listing
This property was even nicer than the pictures! The outside was well kept and nicely landscaped. Easy access to the river. Picnic tables and firepits by the river and by the house. Lots of wildlife and the bird feeder brought many birds, squirrels,and chipmunks. The inside was VERY neat and clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of dishes and good pots and pans. The neighborhood was quiet. We were just a few minutes from town that had many places to get supplies. Ower got back with me when I had a question very quickly. It is a very nice home.

Beautiful view of the river
My family and I enjoyed our stay in August. The weather was pouring rain when we arrived and when we left, which made the roads less enjoyable to drive down and I was really glad we were in a truck. Also, I do agree with other reviews that mention that the surrounding neighborhood is a little sketchy but once you get to the house it's much nicer. Even though we didn't have much time outside the view from the kitchen table is beautiful. The house was very clean and the air conditioning worked perfectly on the hot August days. The beds and furniture are very comfortable and my husband loved the rocking chairs on the porch. The owner was very quick to respond when I messaged her about an issue (we blew a fuse, oops!). The only thing that would make this property better would be an easier access to the water. It was a little tricky climbing up the bank with wet feet. Overall we loved our stay and I would book again.

Cozy hideaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was clean quiet and very relaxing! Being able to enjoy the river was a bonus. We were also able to see some wildlife (squirrels, a cool frog, deer, and some cranes fishing in the river). The highlight was the bald eagle that perched in a tree looking for fish in the river. Everything was as described in the listing. Look forward to coming back again.

Gorgeous scenery!!
The property and the house was perfect for me and my wife and two young sons. The owners are very responsive to any issues. We loved the setup! Very clean, secluded, and super relaxing! The handmade rocking chairs under the awning in the front seemed to be made perfectly. And the river frontage cannot be beat!! I will be looking to book again soon! Thank you Kellie for your quick responses! You made our trip unforgettable!

Beautiful home and property
The house was very clean and roomy. It had everything we needed. The kayaks were a lot of fun, although I didn't paddle too far upstream. The river's current was faster in that area as compared to other places I used to canoe downriver. I enjoyed the water very much. We had a campfire almost every night. The firepits were large and the wood was provided. We saw deer everyday. There were two spotted fawns that would come down to the river daily. The property was rural and quiet. It was a nice get-away from suburbia. We had a wonderful time and hope to return for another vacation in the future.

Secluded Getaway
This place was incredible! Had it just been my husband and myself, it would have been a glorious, peaceful retreat. As it was, our grandsons (4 of them) and their Mom joined us. It was like we were invited to stay at a friend's home. The place was immaculate; there were all kinds of amenities, the furniture was comfortable and of good quality, stocked kitchen, etc. There were kayaks for all to use, a gas grill, firepits with firewood supplied for burning; outdoor chairs and even marshmallow sticks. Our hosts were gracious in their provisions and we were very pleased with the view and all it had to offer. The kids had movies for one cloudy day, as well as games. Being right on the river was a joy. We will definitely come back!

Peaceful and beautiful
I didnt want to leave! The house we stayed at for only 2 days made it easy to feel like it was our second home. It gave a cozy feeling that we enjoyed. The land is absolutely beautiful! We got some tubes and floated down the river, saw some wild animals and enjoyed each others company. We needed a break from reality and this house gave us what we needed! Next time we will stay longer to kayak and play cornhole. I am already looking forward to planning another trip there. I love how quiet it is. The couch was huge and comfortable we had options of what we could watch when we snuggled ip at night. The beds are comfortable as well. I am very happy with everything the house and land offered. Thank you Kellie!
