Everything was in good and clean condition. There were so many cute and welcoming touches. We asked about the fire pit and they had plenty of wood there for us. The deck was lovely to sit out on in the morning sun. We hope to be back.

The property was perfect!! Check in was easy with the instructions given by the owner. We didn’t use the kitchen much, but it was well stocked with anything we would need. We did use the charcoal grill which was in good shape and worked well. The perfect place to stay while floating.

My wife and have been to this property many times under the previous owners and now the current ones. As always, our stay is peaceful and enjoyable. The new owners have made many positive updates and changes to the cabin and the grounds. The new owners are very attentive and helpful I thoroughly recommend 3 Rivers Retreat!

Great Weekend Away!

My husband and I booked the Three Rivers Retreat for a weekend float trip, and it was perfect! We booked the float with Garrison's and for a small fee they picked us up at the front door and dropped us off after. The house was exactly what we needed for just the two of us! We can't wait to come back.
