Wedding weekend

We stayed at the River House for a long weekend with extended family while in the area for a wedding at Manor at Mountain View. The location was ideal. The weather was hot (90s) but the covered porch with overhead fans, water views and adequate AC were all great for relaxing and catching up.

Family Hershey trip

So happy we decided to rent this brb for our hershey park trip instead of a hotel. Everything about this property was great! Wonderful mesmerizing views and comfortable accommodations all in one! Pam was a great host and was able to meet all of our needs or questions we had during our stay. I highly recommend staying here, it meets the needs of anyone really, big groups/small groups, and its a quaint cottage surrounded with all the beauty in nature:)

Fabulous retreat

Our family and friends stayed here for 3 nights while visiting local colleges. It was a wonderful retreat. We grilled overlooking the river and sat around the fire pit watching the sunset. The house had everything we needed and more. Pam was an excellent host and everything went very smoothly. We’s absolutely return.

A group of friends spent the weekend here. The place is awesome! Pam provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. The property is beautiful with so many extra amenities including kayaks, life jackets, tubes and a wagon full of firewood for the fire pit.

Wonderful week!

We stayed for a full week with the full house of 11. The bedrooms were a little tight with 3 kiddos in sleeping bags on the floor, but everyone had space. Pam was very helpful! When we had an issue with one of the air conditioners, it was fixed within 24 hours. The dining room was the real star. Lots of room to eat, draw, and play cards. Wonderful floats and kayaks for the river. Pam really thought of everything we needed for the house, including condiments, toiletries, and pots & pans. We had a wonderful week!
