We loved our stay at River Park Retreat! The house was very spacious for our family of four. From the high ceilings and lovely decor to the large walk in shower and fluffy white towels, we were so comfortable in this house. We loved walking one block to the coffee shop, restaurant, and the trails along the river! Also, it was very close to downtown BV, as well as a short driving distance into the mountains for many fantastic hiking trails.
