Communication was great! It was quiet location, end of lane. We stayed in heat of summer but I bet the fall and winter are beautiful. Place could use some updating. Window a/c’s were quite loud.

Clean and Comfy Cabin by the River

This location was great for our small crew of kayakers and eBikers. There were plenty of places to drop in kayaks along the river, and the eBike trail at the end of the driveway went for many, many miles.Stuart was very helpful and quickly answered all of our questions. The gardens were beautiful, and great to hang out by the fire when night time came.

Lovely place

The place was just like it shows. Very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. It was a surprise to find coffee and tea there which was nice to have to not worry about going out to get since our visit was a short weekend stay.

Just right for us

Quiet, peaceful, exceptional river views. Accurate description and comfortable space including room for adult kids to come and go. Hosts were attentive, accommodating and helpful. I would stay here again. It’s a bit distant from small towns for restaurants and shopping.

Wonderful River Retreat

Perfect spot on the Delaware River to celebrate my birthday and kayak and raft several laps on the Tohickon Creek whitewater release. Also rode our bikes to New Hope. House had everything we needed for an enjoyable 3 day weekend.

Relaxing retreat with the Delaware River as my front yard.

Perfect getaway from the chaos of Covid-19. Bike path to Frenchtown in one direction, Stockton in the other. Wrap around deck to sit outdoors and enjoy the river and greenery all around.

Incredible River View

Just spent two cool, rainy nights here and it was still an incredible stay. The river was very high from all the rain and it was a delight to sit and watch it go by. The covered deck is comfortable and well appointed, the bedrooms were lovely, the kitchen small but perfect for our needs . Close to New Hope for dinner and window shopping. We will be back!!

Great Location

River Retreat is a great secluded location with beautiful gardens, river views and access. The apartment is cute, and provides everything needed. The only negative was cleanliness. I am meticulous, and it was not up to my standard. Also, there were many bugs inside, after killing these, we did our best not to let any more in. I understand it is difficult to keep them out being by the river, when going in and out the door. Power washing the outside under the porch roof might help. Otherwise, we enjoyed the location very much.

Moldy bathroom, dirty kitchen.

Very dirty kitchen and bathroom. Serious amount of mold in bathroom. I think there are issues with the shower and toilet drains. When bringing to the attention of the host, he declined to clean. VRBO saw my pictures. Said it was not an issue. There was another mold in the bedroom. We would not use the shower and put towels on the floor in bathroom. Host refunded all our money, and vrbo canceled the listing. We went elsewhere the next day.

My family stayed here for a wedding in newtown. What a lovely apartment! It was a rainy cooler june weekend so we didnt get to enjoy the outdoor space as much but parts of the patio/deck was covered which was great. The pingpong table and some porch areas needed a sweep but otherwise it was delightful, clean, cozy. We’d stay here again.

Misleading Listing

The beds and covers were dirty. Same for pillows and carpets. I have been renting from vrbo for ten years, it is the first time I have rented such a dirty house. I ask vrbo to help me pay all my payments back.

Lovely first family getaway!

We brought our 11 month old on her first family weekend trip, and this place was perfect. We love New Hope and know it well, and this was a nice distance from there to accommodate naps and doing some sightseeing. Super close access to the canal trails, and the most awesome porch. We spent most of our time out there when at the rental!

Two night stay to bike ride the canal trail

We found the perfect place to take our e bikes on the canal trail. The access to the trail was just a short bike ride down the driveway to the access point to the Canal Trail. The Apartment was fantastic, clean and comfortable and a fully stocked kitchen. We had our dinner on the extremely large porch enjoying the view of the river and wild life. We lucked out in seeing a Bald Eagle swoop down and catch a fish. The next day we went for a 4 hour ride on both sides of the canal trail, drove to the Lambertville Station Inn for dinner. Finished the evening with a drink on the porch watching the river. A great experience and wonderful time. We will be going back.

Beautiful Delaware River Stay

Beautiful location on the Delaware River. Lots of cute local browsing & shopping areas to enjoy. Great local eateries to choose from. Best part is you are right on the Delaware for waterfront views and activities! Host was great and communicated with us easily. We look forward to returning during the summer months!
