Beautiful sunsets from the hot tub!

Cute place, clean, very well-equipped and comfortable. Very nice view/access to the river - we enjoyed some really beautiful sunsets from the hot tub! Loved the pet-friendly option as well - our vacations are so much more relaxing when we aren't worried about leaving our girl behind. :-)

Pictures Undervalue the Experience

Pictures were actually worse than the property looked in real life. Wonderful cabin stocked full of all the amenities and thoughtful adds. A shed full of accessories for boating. Several kayaks and a water cycle were included. Complete peace and quiet on the river every night. Relaxing in the hot tub under the stars was unforgettable. The ONLY complaint is how hard the water is, how it smells like sulfur. A home filtration system would be an amazing addition and pay dividends in satisfaction.

A great place to stay

I stayed here for a golf weekend and was very impressed with the house. Everything was very clean and the hot tub was perfect after a day of golf. If it's a clear night, turn off all the lights and enjoy the stars. The renting process was easy and Dorene was great to work with. Highly recommend would definitely stay here again.

Great relaxing cabin.

Wonderful rustic cabin. Was great for our dog as it is all fenced in with a gate, so he could not wander off. Sitting in the hot tub overlooking the river was wonderful. Central to all locations in the area. Would like to come back for a few days in the summer...

Great location, great experience!

I booked only a few days before hand and Dorene was great answering questions via email right away. River's Edge was exactly what I hoped for. My kids loved the hot tub and being close to Indian River was beautiful. The place was very clean and the décor made you feel at home. I definitely hope to make this a yearly visit!

Wonderful getaway

Beautiful river view, close to everything yet private and quiet. Swans floating by all day and a pair of bald eagles fishing right in front of the cabin! Large bedroom, comfortable bed and very nice cabin decor. Very well stocked kitchen and baths. Jacuzzi was great after a day of skiing. Perfect for the two of us and our doggo.

Everything you need and more

We had a great time and wished we could have stayed longer! Everything you need is there and we felt right at home. My Father fished from the dock, we had a nice fire (wood provided), really enjoyed the hot tub and visited local places we used to frequent years ago when my Parent's had a place in the area. We will definitely book again in the future!
