July 2026

We loved our stay at Riverbank Retreat and would gladly return! Our group of 10, including two great-grandparents with limited mobility, was very comfortable. The main-level master and minimal stairs made the home easy to navigate, and it never felt crowded. The home was spotless, welcoming, and even better than described. The kitchen was great for cooking together, and the Blackstone griddle was a wonderful surprise. The setting is absolutely beautiful. We loved listening to the river, relaxing on the porch swing and under the awning, and making s’mores at the fire pit. The wildlife was incredible—we saw deer daily, wild turkeys with poults, an eagle, hummingbirds, goldfinches, geese, blue bill ducks, butterflies, and more. The hosts were responsive, check-in was easy, and the welcome bag with water and granola was a thoughtful touch. Our only suggestions would be stainless steel cookware and glass drinking glasses, which are just personal preferences. Highly recommend!
