This property was fantastic, very clean and well maintained and the views from the porches were amazing. Way more than enough room and parking for our group of 8 and we loved the location and proximity to some great restaurant options. It was a very easy drive to Amelia Island where our event was held. We loved every minute we stayed here and would highly recommend it. Hope to be back next year!

Our multi-generational family enjoyed a wonderful, comfortable stay at The Riverhouse. The home offered space and activity opportunities that appealed to each age group and included a large room for the entire family to gather for meals and fun. The outdoor areas were great too. We took full advantage of sitting out watching activity on the river and conversing around the fire pit. This home met all our needs and expectations. We would readily go again.
