The River House/Stunning Riverfront/Scenic Views/Water Sports/Steps to Marina

The River House is a stunning riverfront vacation rental on the serene shores of Fox River. This stylish home boasts spacious bedrooms, beautifully finished and decorated dining room, impressive kitchen and absolutely breath taking views from the living room through huge glass doors. Warm and inviting interior of the house gives a relaxing vibe. With open floor plan, living area features comfortable seating, large screen TV and a cozy fire place. The fully equipped kitchen has all essentials for your cooking and dining needs at the large table that can seat up to 8 guests. The bedrooms are spread out over both levels, with two bedrooms on the main floor and two on the second. They are beautifully furnished with high quality beddings. The bathrooms are very clean, feature a bathtub with a shower on the first floor, shower on the second and plenty of fluffy towels.

The highlight of this waterfront house is the expansive two level new deck with hot tub where you can soak and relax, while enjoying scenic views.
Deck area with luxury furniture is just perfect for having your morning coffee or evening cocktails. Stepping down you will find the convenient outdoor kitchen with barbeque, fridge as well as a stoned fire pit area surrounded by eight comfortable chairs (fire wood provided).

The Waterfront Paradise is located in a family oriented area, allowing you to truly disconnect from daily hustle. However, it is still within minutes of Port Edward restaurant, local pubs, famous Old Town of Algonquin with gorgeous promenade and other attractions, stores and restaurants. There is also Fox 14 Marina within a few minutes walk from the house where you can rent a pontoon boat to cruise around, enjoy water fun and sunset with night sky perfect for stargazing. During the winter season one can go for an ice fishing on the smoothly frozen water.

The home had everything we needed and more! Having the river right out the back door and downtown shops just a quick walk away was perfect.

This was an amazing girls weekend despite the storms. The property was clean, bright and beautiful. The host was very responsive to questions and check out was easy. Neighborhood was friendly and just a few minute walk into town. We would definitely stay here again.

Exceeded our expectations
Great communication and wonderful experience at this riverfront house! Even though the property is not pre setup as childproofed (as advertised), it was easy to childproof ourselves. No complaints and we’re recommending this property to friends in the area
