River’s nest is a charming 2 bedroom cottage that over looks the river. It is very clean, quaint, and updated beautifully. The covered back deck is fantastic! We celebrated our wedding anniversary and it was the perfect place to spend our time. We enjoyed the peaceful country setting while still being close to stores if we needed to run into town. It is close to local wineries and about 20 minutes away from Geneva on the Lake. Valerie is an amazing host with top notch communication. They allowed us to use one of their kayaks to enjoy a peaceful trip down the river. I can’t say enough good things about our stay! I highly recommend this cottage if you’re looking for a little getaway, or need a place to stay in or near Geneva.

We had a wonderful 4 days at Rivers Nest. We fished right on the property and made s'mores at the fire pit every night. Having an endless supply of free firewood was so nice. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals. The location is the best of everthing - beautiful views off the deck, peaceful location and very close to area wineries. Perfect spot for some family togetherness and fun. Oh and the dog loved it too - huge yard to play fetch.

Beautiful Property

Very clean property that is pet friendly. This cottage sits right on the Grand River which made it such a peaceful experience. The owners were in communication often to make sure we had everything we needed. Far enough away from things to be relaxing but no more than 20 minutes from the nearest store.

Very peaceful getaway

My husband and I and our two adult children enjoyed the covered outdoor deck, since it rained much of the time. The neighborhood is quiet, so it’s easy to hear the birds, and we even had a woodpecker with us one evening. We visited many of the nearby wineries and had a very relaxing time. Beds are comfortable, too!

My husband and I as well as our two fur-babies had a really nice time at the Rivers Nest. It was our 35th wedding anniversary and Valarie had a card and freshly made cookies waiting for us when we arrived. Those little touches go a long way. The house was clean and very welcoming. We plan to go back again and again!
