Again please refer to your Guide Book for a full itemized list of What to Pack/Items Not Allowed**


WEDDINGS/EVENTS NOTICE: We are not an official "venue" and we do not provide outside furniture such as tables and chairs other than what you see in our photos. It is on you to plan, provide and set up anything you would like to use for your event as well as have it removed prior to your departure. We do have a list of local caterers, florists, bakers and table/chair rentals available upon booking to help with your planning.


INTERIOR OVERVIEW:

Our property features a Main and Guest house which are bundled together when you book (Can NOT be rented separately)

The Main House is 2 stories built on the side of a long gradual hill overlooking the large spacious yard. The main floor features a large fully stocked kitchen which is open to the Main Living Room and Dining areas that overlook the gorgeous panoramic view of the tree tops. The outside patio deck and gas grill are also located right off the main kitchen. The patio deck is equipped with two large umbrella tables with seating for 14. The Lower Level is ground to the large back yard and the large outdoor fire pit. It is complete with a small kitchenette and great views of the river as well. The Guest House directly next to the Main house has 4 additional bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a small kitchenette along with it’s own concrete driveway. NOTICE: there are a handful of bedrooms that have to be passed through in order to exit the building/access a bathroom. All Doors are able to lock in order to create a flow of traffic of your choice for your groups convenience. See our floor plans in our photos for the layouts of the pass through areas. If you’d like a larger version of the floor plans please let us know and we’ll send you a copy no problem.

Together both the Main and Guest house can comfortably sleep 28 in beds, 6 on futons, 32 Max Occupany. Both houses combined create a very large vacation home offering a total 11 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 3 kitchens, large deck, patio and fire pit.This property offers much privacy for larger groups to easily spread out.


WE ARE NOT HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE:

Please note the house is not handicap accessible by any code or standard. We have however had a number of guests with limited mobility say they found it very well suited for their needs but they likely did bring a shower chair and had some assistance during shower time, etc. Note there are 2 steps at the front door entry of the home. Based on previous guests feedback they consider the house to be "handicap friendly" noting it has proven to work well for them. One main reason our guests rent this home is that the first floor/street level of the Main house is all one level and has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms,1 half bathroom, direct access to the Main Kitchen, Living room and back Patio overlooking the large yard and river view. From the feedback we’ve received these features are perfect for guests who may need a walker or wheelchair to get around or have trouble with constant elevation changes. With almost everything they need all in one level of the home it’s the ideal location for them without the worry of getting around in an unknown home. They’ll be in the heart of the main gathering areas. The hall bath does have a wider door than average. The hall bath also has a standard tub/shower that is not set up to be handicap accessible. Please review the floor plans and pictures and feel free to contact us for further information. Again our home is NOT handicap accessible nor has it ever been. We’re simply providing you with information previous guests have given us over the years and their experiences when navigating our home.

Family reunion
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.

Christmas reunion
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.

Mom’s 80th Birthday Bash
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!
