Outside The Box

We have gone on a girl's trip for 25 years. When I first saw this lake house, I thought, "this isn't us". But I kept going back to it for some reason. The moment we stepped in the door, we knew. It was amazing! The decor made me feel like I was inside a Pier One Import's store. From room to room, all the touches to this house are beautifully placed. The area is quiet, close to anything you might need. Castaways up the road is a fantastic place to eat! We stepped outside the box this year, and you didn't disappoint Kim! The Riverview Retreat was just what we needed!

Pre Thanksgiving get together

We celebrated with our 100 year old Mom, our 2024 pre Thanksgiving dinner. Doing our stay we also had Molly’s pizza, dinner at Sweetwater restaurant and visited Tanners Orchard We sat in the sun on the deck and watch the sunset, did some fishing, used the hot tub and went for walks. Our stay in a very uniquely decorated house was excellent. Kim, our hostess was always connected to making sure we were comfortable

Perfect Getaway

We were looking for a quick end-of-summer getaway for our family and the Riverview Retreat did not disappoint. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 and our dog loved the fenced-in yard. The HyVee with Tesla Superchargers was a quick 20-minute drive and made it easy to charge up the car while picking up essentials. We found plenty of quick trips to local museums and gardens, plus lots of options for dining out. We took the kayaks out on the water which was relatively calm even with recent storms and the lake area was only 5 feet deep as far as we went out so easy for the kids. We also appreciated the completely reasonable cleanup requests from the host -- no need to repaint the house and cook dinner for the next guest here lol. We would definitely return in the future if the opportunity comes up, especially since we didn't get a chance to try the hot tub!

Unique feels with this riverside cabin

These owners have thought of everything, from snacks tucked in a coffee nook in the upper bedroom area, to every sort of outdoor feature you can enjoy in summer or winter. This was my favorite place to stay that I have ever been to. I felt transported to another culture of river cabin elegance with a unique flare. This is definitely a place to revisit again!

Christmas Holiday w Family

Great safe yard space for our dog- wonderful spacious bedrooms with great bedding- slept so well at night. Loved the coffee station to get us going in the morning and the living room overlooking the River was a great place for us to gather before our family holiday events. Nicely located between Chillicothe and Peoria. Would love to see it in the summer with all the trees in bloom! Love the outdoor porches and balconies outside!

High School Best Friends Reunion

What a wonderful property. The view of the river is fantastic and the sunrise each morning was breathtaking. We loved the art work in the house and had a great time discussing the pieces. It adds a special touch to this rental. The owner was easy to work with and very helpful We hope to return soon and not wait 50 years.

My Favorite Place of all time!

Of all the places I've stayed at on this and that other evil BnB site, (Ha!) this is by far my favorite place as far as furnishings are concerned. Every square inch of this place is filled with original local art. It is majestic! It is astounding! It is truly unique in the best of ways! Being an artist myself, my hats off to the owners for supporting artists! And the deck? Epic!
