Amazing Getaway
The house was amazing and the perfect size for a large group we had 4 children under the age of twelve and thirteen adults. We all were able to get a room to ourselves and not feel like everyone was on top of each other the whole time. It was a perfect secluded spot great for a now 4 year old birthday party celebration. Very much recommend spot and we will be coming back!

Perfect family reunion place!
18 of stayed for three nights. Three folks had mobility challenges. So all three were able to have their own bedrooms on the main floor, where we all tended to gather. There was plenty of space for the rest of us to spread out, cook, play outside, roast marshmallows, rent a kayak, play games, tell stories, etc. What a lovely, comfortable place! And Darius was always very responsive to any questions we had. I definitely recommend this place.

Family and friends getaway
The accommodations are perfect for a large group. We had several people who ranged in age from 20’s to 70’s and everyone had a blast!! This was a milestone birthday celebration and there was plenty to do for all. The property manager was very friendly and quickly responded to any and all communications. We did have to bring a charcoal bbq grill for our cookout because the rental only has a propane flat-top griddle but this is mentioned in the rental details so it was no surprise. Also mentioned is the fact that many of the bedrooms are walk throughs. This means that people will have to pass through a bedroom to get to the restroom or to another room. Not an issue as long as you don’t lock the door. We will definitely plan another trip here because we had such a great time!!!

We enjoyed our stay. We found the house to be clean and just like it was represented. The house is arranged for maximum occupancy but, not necessarily maximum convenience. Kitchen and living room areas are nice, the deck and outdoor areas are very nice. We had 27 people and we felt like we used every single available bed. We did not have anyone sleeping on any couches.

Family Stay for a Wedding
This house was perfect for our family that came from different states. We had a wedding rehearsal dinner here and the kitchen, family room were fantastic and the outdoors deck provided a beautiful view of the river. We even had a fire to enjoy in the fire pit. The owners were responsive right away and great to work with. Thank you to Carlos for all your help. We will be back again.

Great layout for large family like ours. Nice big kitchen/living room/deck for all to get together, but when someone wanted privacy, there were plenty of separate rooms for that. Weather cooperated to allow lots of fun in the large back yard/river area.

We had a fantastic time at The River Haven. There was plenty of room for everyone and the beds were comfortable. Sitting by the river was so relaxing. We especially loved the sound of the waterfall and watching the ducks swim by with their little duckling family. It was such a sweet time; a great venue for memory-making and family FUN!

Perfect location and setting
We booked for a Corporate retreat and it was perfect. Great location, great space and enough rooms for everyone. The lay out is a little weird but we designated the pass through rooms as “dead zones” and kept them as quiet spaces and no one slept there. Great spot!

Very nice, quiet location. The house and guest house are great. Deck is very nice. Plenty of seating for everyone. Kitchen had plenty of room for our meal preparations. Check out was the easiest of any property I've stayed out. We had 14 people, 11 bedrooms needed. Bathroom access is a bit of a maze, but it works. Thank you for a great stay!

The River House met our needs.
The house met our needs as a place for our family to gather and we had a great time. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, ext. The houses accommodated our family of 22 well with enough beds and bathrooms. We were able to wade in the river, had a big deck to gather on and room to get some space when needed. Although we never got around to using it, the fire ring is a nice feature as well. The downside: this house is not in the hill country. It is actually in a kind of scruffy spot directly across the road from an industrial facility. The layout of the two buildings were oddly configured with some windowless rooms and several bedrooms that were pass throughs for others to access bathrooms. There is at least one inaccuracy regarding the bedroom accommodations (i.e.: no futon where there was supposed to be one). And some maintenance is needed throughout: sliding glass door is barely moveable, a clogged drain, a broken door that my brothers fixed… Additionally, there are a few hospitality related policies- like only providing 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom- that were inconvenient and kind of stingy. In the end, the property worked out fine but I wouldn't stay again.

Best Family Vacation Location EVER!
We had 21 in our group and this was the best location ever! There were plenty of rooms and bathrooms, which was our first concern. But we realized the kitchen in the main house upstairs and the kitchenettes in the downstairs of the main house and the guest house, were great. The main kitchen was well stocked with the pots and pans, kitchen utensils and appliances needed to accommodate all of us. In addition, there were plenty of trash bags (and we required a lot), dish soap, laundry soap, etc. Having 3 refrigerators was helpful when we loaded in the groceries the first day. There were plenty of towels and washrags (not supplied in all rentals). There was a nice washer and dryer provided (which is helpful with large groups such as ours). The river level was low, which was excellent. The kids were able to play safely in the water. We had planned several outings but everyone said they would have been happy just to stay at River Haven the entire time. The fire pit (although hot in mid-July evenings) was perfect for s'mores. The yard was perfect for games. And the water was perfect for getting cooled off. We were very pleased with this accommodation and so will you be if you choose River Haven.
