Relaxation and Recreation on the River!

River Ranch Retreat is situated directly on the Maumee River, west of the Providence Dam, Grand Rapids, OH, and is located on coveted deep water. Dock your boat or jet skis at the River Ranch dock, bring wake boards, water skis, tubes, and enjoy over 20 miles of open water way. Boats can be launched at Mary Jane Thurston State Park Marina, one mile away. Hike or bike trails at Mary Jane Thurston Park, view Providence Dam, tour Ludwig Mill, take a boat ride on the Erie Canal. Visit the historic town of Grand Rapids, Ohio, enjoy casual or fine dining, a pizza with the family, and, of course, ice cream! Visit shops, including several antique shops, holistic and craft shops, "The Dam Gift shop," local wineries, take the kids to the play ground, hear local musicians and attend annual festivals. You'll inevitably catch a glimpse of Bald Eagles, Blue Herons, cranes, loons and jumping fish. Farmer Brett is right down the road for local produce. Enjoy watching spectacular sunsets and sitting by the campfire. This retreat is clean and comfortable to make you feel right at home.

Beautiful Property!
This house exceeded all my expectations! The only complaint I have is the bed mattress was super hard, felt like I was sleeping on the floor. I would not use this property again ONLY because of the bed. Everything else was outstanding!

If cleanliness is next to godliness then this property is a piece of heaven … with a view! Host was most gracious rescuing us, at the last minute, from an abrupt cancellation of another property. Many, many stars!!

Amazing!
I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The host left a basket of snacks which was extremely thoughtful (and there were even a couple bottles of wine in the fridge!!). The house was spotless and the location was beautiful (right on the Maumee river). I contacted the host prior to booking to ask about the location with relation to a wedding we were attending and he responded within 30 minutes. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Zero complaints. Thank you!!

This is the 2nd time my family stayed at the house and it’s just perfect. We love being on the water and making s’mores by the fire. The owners are amazing and truly make you feel at home. Highly recommend.

awesome stay!!
We thank you for sharing your home with us. We loved the location because I was visiting a friend that lived on the other side of the river and came to pick us up on her pontoon!! My husband and son got in a lot of fishing, so that was a plus!! If available we will stay with you again. Thank you again Susan DiVenuto-Young

The house was great for visiting with family. Plenty of open space inside. The space at the river was fun for all. Dining and ice cream was just down the road in Grand Rapids. We will stay again.

This was a great place to stay! We were in town for the weekend visiting family, and the location couldn't have been better. The house was clean and cozy, and the river view out back was just gorgeous! The host provides a lot of little extras to make you feel comfortable, and we had a really great time.

The view was great, home well stocked. Overall, we were pleased. Few items that could use attention; yard needed mowed, dryer took a very long time to dry clothes. Other that that we had a good stay

Amazing River Vacation!
This house was absolutely perfect for us. We are a family of four with two teenagers. We're originally from Northwest Ohio with family now scattered from Toledo to Napoleon. This location was perfect for visiting family and just relaxing. I had forgotten how lovely the river is and how pretty the surrounding little towns are. With 24 going all the way through now, the location is great. The house is very clean, extremely well equipped, and the welcome basket!!! They give you all the goodies for s'mores and wine too!! What a great surprise! If you're looking for a quiet getaway, some river fun, or just scenic views close to Toledo, this is it. I will stay here every time I visit family. Way better than a hotel! Hosts were also very responsive... Texted us after a thunderstorm with a power outage to tell us when the power would be back on and asking if we needed flashlights or candles. We were super impressed with all the extras like the coffee pods, extra blankets and pillows, and the welcome basket. They also have lots of seating outside and inside. Loved the chairs outside too. These hosts thought of everything and we can't wait until our next visit!

Beautiful River View and Awesome Hospitality!
This little house is a gem! The river views are gorgeous, but the house itself is efficiently presented, clean, and every need or want was thoughtfully provided for. If needed, response was quick. Thank you for the wonderful welcome basket, stocked with everything to enjoy the fire pit which is located on the riverside. Close to the quaint town of Grand Rapids which offers shopping, dining, and festivals. Don’t miss out on this experience!

Great place to stay at! The river is right outside where you could relax and enjoy the scenery. The living room area is very spacious with multiple areas to sit, study, read, or relax. Our host Karen effectively communicated and answered any questions or concerns we had. Overall a wonderful time!

Long weekend get-away
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at this property and would definitely book it again! The canal boat ride in downtown Grand Rapids, just a few minutes way, was a unique experience, but I particularly liked our time staying at "home" watching my kids play in the river from a shaded chair on the riverbank and catching beautiful views out the windows while eating or chatting in the evenings.
