Had a lovely 2 night stay in one of the Riverview retreat cabins. The cabin was cozy and clean, and came with a BBQ on the deck for any cooking needs. Will be back in the warmer weather!

Loved the quiet atmosphere. The different sleeping options they had to offer. Beautiful scenery. Great care takers. Patrick and Cathy are awesome host. The place offers plenty to do, from nature walks, canoe rides, biking, swimming in the river and beautiful nature all around. Highly recommended. Great pricing.

Overall, the owners were very nice and so were other people staying. The cabins were a great overall option to tenting, but if you have kids afraid of bugs, you should probably look at a hotel or an inn elsewhere. Honestly, for what it was, the price was a little high in comparison to orher accomodations in motels with AC and full service, but i crack that to the demand due to Warf Rat Rally. Ill definitely consider it for next year.

The A-frame we stayed in was dirty, spider webs, etc. not been cleaned for a while. The bed had an extremely terrible mattress. The mice nibbling away on the wood at night didn't add to the experience
