The location of this property makes is the best part. Complete privacy. Short walk to the river behind the cabin. The back patio felt cozy and gave us a great place to hangout in the evenings.
The property was nice, quiet and clean. The river was not quite as close as I expected and we had to climb down a few rocks to get to the water, but it was definitely doable. It was very pleasant to sit at the river's edge - made for some nice photos. Could use screens on some of the windows (kitchen, side door, downstairs bedroom). Would have been nice to have cushions on the outdoor seating area (as pictured). I don't know if the separate building (sleeping area) was included. I couldn't find a key or any information on the website. Overall, we had a nice relaxing visit at the Sandy River Retreat.
We enjoyed our three nights on the Sandy River. The house is very comfortable, spacious, and clean. The large kitchen is supplied with good quality cookware and lots of basics like oil and seasonings. Wifi was consistent and strong. We missed having reading lamps next to the beds and sofa. Although we stayed there during a hot spell and the house wasn't air conditioned, the fans kept us cool. The deck was great for morning coffee as well as dinners outside. The short walk to the river requires a bit of careful stepping over the rocks, but it's a great spot by the rushing water to watch birds.
Overall place is cute & relaxing. However, river not safe for kids. Pictures were not all accurate, much smaller in person. Beds were ok. No AC so be prepared. Additionally, there were some items damaged so I let them know asap. We did what we could with what we had. The hot tub needed to be cleaned but try telling four kids no...lol. no cusions on fire pit seats. Overall, we were safe, relaxed, and enjoyed the peacefulness of the river sound.
We absolutely loved this property, it feels remote while also being so close to so much. We thoroughly enjoyed the creek access and hot tub, as well as the big open living space. Weâd absolutely stay again!
We had a great experience staying here in August 2024. The house is recently updated and had everything we needed and more. The separate "bunkhouse" was a bonus. Spent a lot of time along the river and in the hot tub. There was a county-wide fire ban this summer, so we didn't get to enjoy the fire pit, but we thoroughly enjoyed everything else the property had to offer. When we had a question, the host was very responsive. Much appreciated. Overall, we had a great time and would stay here again!
