The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, living room, sunroom, stainless kitchen and a full length porch with outdoor dining for 10.

Mothers' Day weekend family trip
This is a beautiful and spacious home with river access and porch for sunning and relaxing. We spent 2 of our 4-night hiking trip here. The owner went out of his way for us, lighting the fire pit, and bringing smore fixings for the kids (12 and 13). Inner tubes and kayaks were available, and despite the cold temp., the kids tubed down the shallow river and were in heaven! Spotlessly clean, and we were thrilled to find Rummikub in the game cupboard. Quiet, private area.

Absolutely fabulous
We wanted a change of pace/ scenery and found exactly that. If you’re used to the noise of a freeway then you will love the sound of the capacon river flowing right out front of this beautiful home. Glen did everything he could to make sure we had everything. House is very nice and comfortable.everything you need to enjoy a getaway is provided.The view of the river is priceless. Saw several eagles fly by and numerous other wildlife that made it spectacular. Bring binoculars to really enjoy the views. Glen gave us info on the local butcher and various places to check out. Local butcher does have best burger in town. We decided to grill all of our meals instead of going out.The fire pit by the river was where we spent our late afternoon and evening enjoying the outdoors. Simple,serene and very peaceful place. Highly recommend for a getaway. We stayed 3 nights. Would return in a heartbeat but will stay longer. Many thanks to Glen for his hospitality. He checked in a few times to make sure everything was going well. Absolutely perfect.

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home on the river. Glenn is an amazing host that goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. He even gave my boys a tractor ride! The house felt new and so did everything inside. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks Glenn!

Clean and cozy river cabin
Really lovely cabin that feels like new inside and out. Great covered deck that we enjoyed even during a rainy weekend. Extremely helpful and welcoming host who has all the extras for stay already included like paper towels, linens and a kitchen utensils. The river view is beautiful and it’s a quiet and relaxing spot. Would absolutely stay again!

Fantastic private stay with great hosts
Our stay at River Perch was fantastic! It was a perfect retreat for us to watch the leaves fall and take in nature for a few days. The kitchen was gorgeous and very well stocked and WiFi/internet access was strong enough for us both to work remote with no issues. Glenn went the extra mile, with recommendations to one of the best burgers in the DMV, firestarters and smores supplies for the firepit by the river, and literally when returning a few forgotten items left in the cabin. Thanks for such a wonderful stay and making our anniversary feel special!

Sits right in front of a beautiful river. So peaceful! Glenn was so great. He brought girls s’mores and us some fresh veggies from his garden. He sat down and talked with us and shared stories! The house is so nice and the porch is amazing! Highly recommend!

Idyllic River House Close to DC That Checked All Boxes
This might be our favorite VRBO stay ever! From start to finish our River Perch vacation was perfect. We contacted Glenn on a Thursday about a last-minute getaway trip, and by Friday afternoon we were on our way. Glenn is the PERFECT host. Speedy responder, charming and informative, helpful and kind. The house was exactly what we expected but better. It is a brand-new renovation that was spotless and had the appliances and amenities to make your stay easy and comfortable. From an easy to use gas grill, to a beautiful gas oven with griddle, a spotless fridge with water dispenser and ice maker and efficient and easy to use dishwasher. Brand-new washer/dryer, filled river tubes. Lovely decor, comfortable, new bedding in all the bedrooms, ceiling fans and efficient AC for August. Plenty of starter everything (tp, paper towels, garbage bags, spices, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, hand soap, general cleaners, beach towels, extra outdoor chairs for the river, firewood, fire-starters, lanterns, s'more-starters) we did not need anything. Bring your favorite spices, but you don't need to. We grilled every night and made a fire in the fire pit nightly. Glenn set us up on a guided hike and gave us so much helpful information about the area. The river is 50 yards from the deck/house where we spent most of our time. Adirondack chairs are new and good quality, River Rats to float on, bring your fishing gear and explore. IMPRESSIVE and MAGICAL. Can't wait to return
