River Retreat with private apartment and deck on the beautiful Delaware River
Tranquil and relaxing best describes the lovely getaway treasure. Bordered by the fully wooded Bulls Island State Park and the Delaware River with easy access to hiking, biking, kayaking and much more. Sit on the deck and watch the river and wildlife (there is a baldheaded eagles nest nearby, lots of dear, beaver, river otter, etc.) At sunrise the sky and river have a fantastic salmon-pink hue.

Great Location
River Retreat is a great secluded location with beautiful gardens, river views and access. The apartment is cute, and provides everything needed. The only negative was cleanliness. I am meticulous, and it was not up to my standard. Also, there were many bugs inside, after killing these, we did our best not to let any more in. I understand it is difficult to keep them out being by the river, when going in and out the door. Power washing the outside under the porch roof might help. Otherwise, we enjoyed the location very much.

Peaceful spot by the Delaware River
A real Zen property a few feet from the water’s edge. Watch the water flow by while you sip your tea. Bring your bikes for the lengthy bike trail running along the river, and just a few hundred feet away.

Great weekend retreat
Located right on the Delaware, with a deck that overlooked the peaceful waters and some quacking ducks - this was a very tranquil and rejuvenating experience for me. Just a short drive away are two townships, Lambertville and New Hope (on the PA side) that are known for their beauty and quaint (old and classy) feel.
And so many trails all around to walk or bike or explore.
And did I mention Peddler's Village is not too far away, either

Very quiet
We enjoyed our stay. There were some ants in the bathroom and one bed had very sour linens. Luckily, there were clean sheets in the cabinet and we changed them and were good to go. Stuart was very nice and quick to communicate and un-intrusive. We would stay there again.

Wonderful!
We really enjoyed this VRBO. We came to run a 5K in the area. Fantastic location, close to Peddlers Village, Lambertville, Frenchtown and New Hope. The rental was so lovely. A very relaxing porch facing the Delaware river. The place is so charming! Such interesting attention to detail in the way that it is decorated. The hosts were very helpful in connecting us with good places to eat. We did not have time to take advantage of all of the places to hike. We plan on coming back. Truly lovely.

The ultimate in self-care!
We have stayed at the "River House" many times over the past few years. Stuart & Pat are excellant hosts, and the apt is every bit as advertized and more! Quiet, relax, recharge, reconnect. Our favorite get-away. You know we'll be back!!

Just right for us
Quiet, peaceful, exceptional river views. Accurate description and comfortable space including room for adult kids to come and go. Hosts were attentive, accommodating and helpful. I would stay here again. It’s a bit distant from small towns for restaurants and shopping.

Hidden gem with a beautiful view and close driving to attractions.
So glad I chose Stuart's apartment, it was perfect for our weekend wedding. Scenic Delaware Rive drive to get there then enjoy the same view from the porch. It is just like the pictures. Local restaurants nearby as well as Peddlers Village, the New Hope Railroad, the quaint towns of Stockton, NJ and New Hope, Pa.
Stuart was always available by phone and we did meet him in person. All of our comforts were met. Highly recommend River Retreat !
