Beautiful home on Rifle River! Enjoy kayaking, outdoor fire, wildlife viewing

Enjoy this peaceful cottage with a park like setting on the Rifle River. Take in beautiful views of the river and wildlife.

We have several kayaks that guests can use to enjoy a relaxing trip down the river or one of the several lakes nearby.

There are two fire pits, a larger one by the river and one next to the house with firewood provided for your use.

The house is beautiful furnished, with a fully equipped kitchen. There are two comfortable queen beds and twin bunk bends with plenty of room for all to enjoy.

A great place to just get away from everything. The house was very well kept with all needed amenities. The kids loved the water access and fire pits. An hour drive brings you to plenty of options to enjoy yourself.

We just love this home more each time we stay! So comfortable and relaxing. The 'feel like' temperature outside was '14' but the home was warm and cozy. We watched the wildlife attracted to the bird feeder as well as the flowing river. Everything imaginable to prepare and cook a large meal.Thanks for renting to us.

The property was awesome. It was extremely clean and listing was spot on in description. We enjoyed the Rifle River along the back of the property and the multiple fire pits. It was so quiet and relaxing it was just what we all needed for a perfect fall weekend getaway. Besides the campfire and river the available kayaks were the next best thing. Kellie and Eugene were great hosts and and responded quickly and promptly to any questions prior to booking and after booking. The place was great and we as a family are already talking about going back at some point in the near future.

Everything was wonderful at this house! Having the water right outside was a huge plus and provided fun during the day thanks to the ample supply of kayaks. We loved the firepit at night and appreciate the supply of firewood. The inside decor is charming, kitchen has everything you need, beds were cozy, and couch was comfy. Our family of five (including three teenagers) were all very happy with our time here and would return again.

Cabin is located on prime spot with beautiful view of the Rifle River. Cozy and quiet; exceptionally clean; well-stocked kitchen; beds very comfortable. Rained on and off the whole time, but it we still enjoyed campfires at night, and the raindrops falling on the river added to the serenity of this beautiful cabin. Highly recommend; will return this summer or fall to enjoy the river.

We had a wonderful, relaxing time. The property and home were exactly as described in ad and then some. Great place for family time and enough to keep my grand-daughters busy. We saw an eagle, deer, chipmunks, a family of geese, ducks and more. Loved the campfires by the river!

This was perfect for a weekend escape from Detroit. The kids loved the sledding hill and we loved that the windows in the dining room look out onto the hill so we could watch them play without having to go out every time. The rooms were clean, the tv worked well and the kitchen is well stocked. It is quiet and peaceful we enjoyed our time quite a bit.

Amazing visit! Was looking for a weekend getaway with the fam and got that plus what felt like more. My kids loved the hill to sled on, I enjoyed keeping the winter fire going, and my wife and I took it all in while recharging on the river. Appreciate the sharing of this opportunity.

I loved the fact everything was very nice and clean. View was wonderful. Would absolutely stay there again. Lots of stuff to do and you can tell owners take pride in there house and surroundings. Only thing would have been if grandson could have gotten in water a little easier. But I have stayed in several rentals and this one I would highly recomend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was clean quiet and very relaxing! Being able to enjoy the river was a bonus. We were also able to see some wildlife (squirrels, a cool frog, deer, and some cranes fishing in the river). The highlight was the bald eagle that perched in a tree looking for fish in the river. Everything was as described in the listing. Look forward to coming back again.
