4th annual river trip
The property was exactly as listed, communication with owners when needed was prompt, clean and well kept. We love the Waterwheel condos and this one was great, updated and spacious for our group of 5. We will definitely be back next year!

Peaceful and Beautiful
This property is tranquil and just what we needed to get away from the city. Coffee on the patio and sitting by the river watching the deer play was wonderful. I look forward to visiting again.

Great condo and location! Be careful with parking.
Love the condo and owners! Parking and towing are a huge issue. Be very mindful of the rules. Security and on-site management will get you towed without mercy.

Great location
This was a great property the only issue was the water shut off for a few hours and though it wasn’t the owners fault and there was nothing they could do. It was very inconvenient as we were all wet and cold from the pool and needed to wash clothes. It’s a shame to pay practically $450 a night for something like this to happen. It took about 4 hours before it got turned back on.

Family vacation - Retreat on the River
This condo was the perfect location for our family vacation! Went tubing during the day then relaxed at the river a short walk behind the condo. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Very responsive owners who went out of their way to ensure our visit was perfect. Highly recommend and plan on returning.
