What a beautiful, quiet getaway! Great place for young families. The river is shallow enough for even little kiddos to touch the bottom and the current is slow enough you don't have to worry about elementary ages playing and exploring all day. Hosts are responsive and kind. I definitely see why so many people come back, year after year.

We all loved our stay, such a beautiful home and amazing property right on the river. Our dog couldn't get enough of playing in the river and we enjoyed floating in tubes from Rifle River park on Greenwood right back to the house in about an hour. Such a great place to vacation!

The property was well maintained and there was plenty of wood for late night bonfires. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed our stay for the 5th year. We will be back!

This was our second time staying here. It has all of the comforts of home. Our fur baby really enjoys the river. We did see some squirrels and a couple rabbits along with some chipmunks. The highlights as far as wildlife were the eagle that flew over the river and the muskrat that came up on the bank and filled up on the grass. We had a great time and would visit again.

10/10 perfect spot!

I absolutely loved my stay here. It was quiet, peaceful, the river was beautiful. The house was clean, comfortable and a very homey feeling. I 100% plan to come back again. I would say to anyone with small kids and animals to be careful at night, there was a pack of coyotes running around nearby.

Great Clean Home

This is a fantastic property with the river just steps away in the backyard. We loved being able to swim and relax right at home. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, yet conveniently close to a small grocery store and Dollar General

Another Perfect Stay!

This was our second time staying at this beautiful property in just six months—and once again, it did not disappoint! The setting along the Rifle River is absolutely peaceful, quiet, and stunning—exactly the kind of getaway we were looking for. The place is spotless and incredibly well-kept, with everything you need for a relaxing stay.What truly sets this VRBO apart, though, are the hosts. They are hands-down the best we've ever had—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. Any time we had a question or small concern, they replied almost instantly, making us feel completely taken care of.We’re already looking forward to our next trip back. This is quickly becoming our go-to spot to unwind and recharge. Highly recommend!

Third Time is a Charm!

We just love this home more each time we stay! So comfortable and relaxing. The 'feel like' temperature outside was '14' but the home was warm and cozy. We watched the wildlife attracted to the bird feeder as well as the flowing river. Everything imaginable to prepare and cook a large meal.Thanks for renting to us.
