Justins river house is a cute, quiet getaway with an amazing view. We brought our boats and were pleasantly surprised how easy it was to load and unload so we were able to enjoy the peaceful river. We caight a few decent fish as well

Beautiful Decor and Scenery The River House was absolutely gorgeous. The check in process was easy. Justin promptly responded to our question about accessing the shed where the bikes and kayaks were stored. The house is beautiful and well stocked with everything one would need for an extended stay. The location was very quiet and peaceful. The cleanliness was excellent; no complaints at all. My husband, who’s extremely picky, said he would definitely stay again. That’s high praise indeed!

Peaceful location Clean, well stocked house. Comfortable bed. Host was very responsive and helpful. Lots of equipment for outdoor activities on the river. Unfortunately my arthritic knee had difficulty walking down and up 45° kayak launch wood ramp. Slippery and steep so i was unable to use the kayaks. Enjoyed the screen porch with beautiful view and lots of birds! Friendly neighbors!

A Lovely Surprise Had it not been for a wedding in Bushnell, we never would have booked in this area. My sister in law told us about VRBO and The River House was one of the first ones we saw. It had everything we were looking for in an area that turned out to be full of natural splendor. Justin, the host, was responsive to our inquiries. The house was spotless. The bed is very comfortable. The yard just invites you to go sit down by the river. We totally lucked out!!!

Peaceful Retreat This house was a quiet and peaceful gem of a location. The house itself was more spacious than anticipated and very clean, functional, and comfortable. While we didn’t have a lot of time to take advantage of all the recreation opportunities, we did have a very nice kayak trip on the river. Hope to go back again when I have more time.

A Lovely Spring Break and Bike Trip We enjoyed the quiet location and natural setting of the River House. It was great being just a few minutes from the beautiful bike trails. Justin was a great, easy to communicate with host. The house had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. We look forward to a return stay.
