'River's Edge Retreat’ with Kayaks & River Access!

Great home for a family vacation

We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed this home for our family. We have 4 grandchildren between the ages of 2-9 and adult children and their spouses and it was a great home for a family. The basement is perfect for many ages to enjoy. We wanted to enjoy the river water more, but there were many jelly fish while we were there. However, we did enjoy kayaking one day. The owner was very responsive to our questions and the house was clean and had great spaces indoors and outdoors. We appreciated the kayaks, lifejackets and other outdoor games.

Nice spot for quick getaway

Overall, it was a great place to stay. It had plenty of room for an extended family weekend trip. The crab pots and docks made water fun easy. The amount of kayaks and life vests were awesome. We didn’t use the inner tubes, bikes or helmets, but it was nice to see those were an option. The kids loved trying to catch crabs. The basement amenities and large backyard were also fun. The kitchen has everything you need to cook with/utensils wise. The option to bring a dog was super helpful and much appreciated. Something that can’t be helped but should be noted is the almost constant barking from the dog kennel across the water. You can’t see it, but it starts to get old if you are hanging out outside. You can’t hear it inside though, so that’s a plus.

Family vacation 2024

Owner was very accommodating. Property and house was very well kept. Owner allowed us to use the boat lift for my boat for the week. Family had a great time. Thank you again for using the boat lift for my boat!

a Great family friendly place to stay - with an Owner and Neighbors that were super nice!!

This place was fantastic for our family vacation. Our 6 kids, 3 grandkids, 2 elderly moms, and 2 dogs really had a blast. It was the right blend of entertainment and downtime. It also allowed you to really be able to just sit back and enjoy family time and recharge the mechanism. The morning view with a few cups of coffee on the deck really helped to start the day. The house is spread out enough to be able to find a quiet spot for a bit, or for everyone to gather and hang out and enjoy the GKids being able to just be kids. The yard was big enough for us to play Cornhole, KanJam, and even have a baby pool for the GKids to sit in and enjoy. Unfortunately we were not able to swim in the river (Sloop Creek) because of the Jelly Fish (June-July), but we were able to fish and cool off when needed with the little baby pool tube we brought or stepping inside for a game of pool, darts, or XBox. This house comes with a gas grill/griddle combo that was used every day. It was clean and perfect for everything we cooked for both breakfast and dinner for 13 of us. The kitchen and grill were fully stocked with everything you need from utensils to pots/pans and cutting boards. We ended up adding a small fold up table in the kitchen for all of our snacks. We put it between the wine opening table and the back sliding door to form an L between the 2 tables. Fishing from the dock did not produce as much as we hoped for, but we were able to cast the lines out, let the GKids fish some and we did catch one good size Eel and a lot of crabs. We did not use the crab pots, but there are some there to use. The wind at night was perfect for keeping the bugs away, and watching the sunset over the next door neighbors corn field was great. Occasionally you will get some deer coming by, and maybe even a stray dog named Percy. If you want him to leave, say Percy go home, he obeys pretty good. Thanks Eric for all of your answers and being readily available to reach, we had a blast!!
