Great private property in a quiet neighborhood. The floors are tile, so it is dog friendly. Great water pressure in the shower, nice and hot. The beds are extremely comfy with nice linens. Happily surprised to find a french press and kettle in the kitchen. Many outdoor spaces to enjoy for quiet time. There was a tasty pizza place within walking distance of the house.

Couldn’t be more perfect

We went to Riverhouse for a mother/daughters getaway and we were thrilled with this property! During our stay it was evident that the owners truly want their guests to have everything they need for a top notch stay. Riverhouse was spotless. It also had everything we needed and then some. There was even a basket of items incase anyone forgot to bring something. The decor was beautiful/simple/cozy! Beds were comfortable. It’s all in the little details, and these hosts thought of everything. They were also very communicative and checked in to ensure we had what we needed. Check in was also simple. We didn’t explore much of the area because just being at Riverhouse was enough for us. I would highly recommend staying at Riverhouse. Thank you Angela and Ricardo! You helped us make great memories!

Quiet Getaway

Decided to book our second weekend getaway at this location in the last 2 months. Second time was as good as the first! This time we were able to get out for a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy the nature and scenery. The house was spotless once again. Everything was fantastic. Everything we needed was there. Definitely booking a 3rd trip, just have to decide when. Thanks for being great hosts!

Comfortable Getaway

My girlfriend and I have desperately needed a weekend away for months and we booked River House Getaway in November. After having the highest of expectations and counting down the days, we arrived to find everything in impeccable order. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen has exactly what we needed and the living room was perfect with the toasty fireplace Lastly, the hot tub was amazing. It was up to temperature when we arrived and we enjoyed it the entire weekend. We hope to return to River House Getaway as soon as we are able to - maybe in the summer so we can enjoy a nice campfire!

Everything was incredibly well thought out. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything we needed to cook during the weekend for 4 people; the bathroom was stocked with body wash, and even razors and a hair dryer under the sink and there were games for us to play. The tv room and kitchen /dining area were well designed and super cute with amazing views and sitting in the hot tub with a great view of the snowy grounds was very relaxing.Thank you for the excellent stay and hospitality.

Great getaway, tranquil, has everything

Although the hot tub wasn’t working, they gave us a small refund. Just unlucky timing for everyone I guess with the electrical board failing which I don’t blame them for. Overall, the stay was amazing. They had everything in the kitchen, living space was great, TV surprisingly had a ton of channels, tons of board games and even my favorite - mini golf. The kayaks were a nice touch and we went on that for a little while. Fireplace was top notch, tons of outdoor activity space, nice fairy lights, great BBQ and outdoor space heater. This place would be a great getaway destination for couples, small families and even having friends over for dinner. It was the perfect size. We’ll definitely come back at another time of the year. We came during thanksgiving, but summer time would be crazy nice here There’s also a winery 20 mins away which was nice. Called hounds of Erie.

Perfect - Stunning Space, Great Location!

We were impressed as soon as we stepped through the front door. Everything was impeccably clean and stocked with anything you need: towels, board games, tea/coffee, and even some snacks as a welcome gesture! We loved the space and it was a perfect size for the two of us. Of course, the hot tub was amazing. The hosts, Ricardo and Angela, were on top of their communication and we felt well cared for the whole time from booking to checkout. Thank you both for an unforgettable stay :) We will be booking again. p.s.) Make sure to visit the Port Burwell beach as it’s beautifully quiet and sandy!

Relaxing getaway

This is what a vacation rental property should be! Angela and Ricardo have really considered everything you would want. The outdoor spaces are perfectly laid out, comfortable and well appointed. The interior is spotless, modern and the kitchen is equipped with everything you could need for meal prep. The area is quiet and you are not far from many great spots along lake Erie. I would return in a heartbeat and would not hesitate to recommend!

Wonderful Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I stayed for three nights and had a wonderful time. It was just what we needed to unwind and reconnect. The river house is charming with everything you need and the personal touches from the hosts were appreciated. Not that we had to contact the host much but if we did have a question Ricardo was prompt and friendly. The house was so clean and cozy, the beds and bed linens were so comfortable! I need the bedding for my home lol. Enjoyed a camp fire each night at the charming campfire setup. The property is in a nice quiet area, perfect to escape city life. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor space. Port Burwell beach is a 5 minute drive. We loved the house so much and plan to stay again. Would be nice for a girls getaway too. Highly recommend!!

Although there is an option to click to say you have pets, when clicked there is no mention of any pet fee. But you will get hit with one should you stay. Wouldnt be a problem if it wasnt just thrown on at the very end. Well after checkout.
