River Retreat with private apartment and deck on the beautiful Delaware River

Host very laid back. Well laid out apartment. Great view of the river.

My family stayed here for a wedding in newtown. What a lovely apartment! It was a rainy cooler june weekend so we didnt get to enjoy the outdoor space as much but parts of the patio/deck was covered which was great. The pingpong table and some porch areas needed a sweep but otherwise it was delightful, clean, cozy. We’d stay here again.

4/5 stay…..If you’re looking for an affordable place to stay for a quiet vacation this place is for you. Closest towns are around 20 minutes away and you’re right at the River front with a nice view and access to the river. On the other hand, one thing to be mindful of it the amount of bugs on and around the property!! When we first arrived we we confused as to where the entrance was and all the windows on the first floor(the location of the rental) were open! There were spider webs everywhere among the house and the entrance doorway had a new spiderweb across it every morning/night. We found multiple insects inside the house and it made it uncomfortable to sleep. The table was also horrendously dirty when we wiped it down. And water took a while to heat up. We also had trouble with the AC. At first we thought most of the issues were because we were one of the first people in a while but there were guests the morning we arrived at apartment. It was a quiet area and we enjoyed the stay as much as we could but I have to be honest I’m not sure if I’d stay again.

Beautiful location! Very relaxing.

Enjoyed the stay. Stuart was a great host. Loved the amenities and being right in the lake. The porch was wonderful in the morning for coffee. So many things to do nearby. The canal path was perfect for a stroll along the river Would definitely stay there again if in the area.

Coming in from NY, this homestead was a perfect home for lengthy discussions and reflections. The home was emaculate and comfortable. Stewart, the host, was very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely follow up with a return visit.

Really lovely stay. The grounds and river a restorative and peaceful.

Loved this Riverside retreat home! Very clean, lots of room, and the kitchen had coffee, cream and sugar. Host was very accommodating and friendly. Absolutely loved the area - such a beautiful and peaceful location with a lovely porch and great view! Very nice additions included a fire pit , swing chair, and ping pong table! Would definitely return and recommend.

Stuart was cool and very helpful! He came down to change the thermostat batteries after I’d arrived. The residence was very clean and well stocked, just as lovely as the photos had shown (albeit the dead plants outside because we came right after winter). Loved visiting Lumberville General Store for breakfast, Peddler’s Village in Lahaska and Lambertville/New Hope (both only 18 minutes away!). Beautiful riverside view as well and walking distance via towpath to Bulls Island bridge. Bedrooms are super cute!

This River Retreat was exactly that — such a well appointed lovely haven. Even though it was still winter, the weather was warm enough to enjoy the lovely hammock swing on the deck. Stuart was incredibly responsive and very accessible regarding any possible question or need. Since the River Haven sits between Frenchtown on one side and Lambertville and new Hope on the other, fabulous food and lovely boutiques, and everything else. These small towns offer are a short drive in either direction.We very much enjoyed our too-short stay and look forward to returning in the hopefully near future.

Property was cleab and welcoming.Host was very nice.

Even in the heart of frozen winter the River Retreat proved to be a welcome respite from the world--that includes everything from the private view of the Delaware River, to the nightly sounds of owls. Can't imagine how nice it would be the other seasons!

The apartment is clean and well equipped for whatever your your adventures might lead to...and there is plenty to do in the immediate area. That said, it was tough to tear ourselves away from the beautiful view on the deck! Stuart is a phenomenal host.

Beautiful location and comfortable, homey spaces. My kids loved the river!

Everything was great. Very comfy and restful

The perfect place for a retreat.

We were looking for a peaceful retreat along the river we have loved for many years. River Retreat provided that for us. We biked 40 miles along the towpath. Fished near Bulls Island. Ate at wonderful restaurants nearby. Sipping coffee in the morning listening to birds, crickets and watching the gentle river. Thank you Stu.

Great once again

I rented this place according to pictures and reviews. This house apartment was filthy. I had to clean refrigerator before i put my food in. Kitchen appliances filthy, dirty spots on kitchen walls with some thing stuck on it. Black mold in 1 bedroom and bathroom. Dust on everything. A small used peice of soap for us to reuse in the shower. Icing on the cake was when my son found a mouse in his bed, and mouse droppings on the extra towels we were to use! I suffer with a serious immune deficiency from a stem cell transplant, and the conditions of this unit are dangerous for me to be around. The picture shown must be very old, because there is no clear view as shown, its covered in vines. I have stayed in many vrbo's, this was the worst. The add says to treat this as if it is your house, I do not live like this, its unacceptable.

The beds were a bit uncomfortable, but overall the property was well taken care of!

Very relaxing.

Communication was great! It was quiet location, end of lane. We stayed in heat of summer but I bet the fall and winter are beautiful. Place could use some updating. Window a/c’s were quite loud.

The Riverside was beautiful! The grounds could use a little maintenance but otherwise great location.

The beds and covers were dirty. Same for pillows and carpets. I have been renting from vrbo for ten years, it is the first time I have rented such a dirty house. I ask vrbo to help me pay all my payments back.

Just what I expected. Great view and many things to do on both sides of the river. Next time I will bring my fishing poles !!

We brought our 11 month old on her first family weekend trip, and this place was perfect. We love New Hope and know it well, and this was a nice distance from there to accommodate naps and doing some sightseeing. Super close access to the canal trails, and the most awesome porch. We spent most of our time out there when at the rental!

We found the perfect place to take our e bikes on the canal trail. The access to the trail was just a short bike ride down the driveway to the access point to the Canal Trail. The Apartment was fantastic, clean and comfortable and a fully stocked kitchen. We had our dinner on the extremely large porch enjoying the view of the river and wild life. We lucked out in seeing a Bald Eagle swoop down and catch a fish. The next day we went for a 4 hour ride on both sides of the canal trail, drove to the Lambertville Station Inn for dinner. Finished the evening with a drink on the porch watching the river. A great experience and wonderful time. We will be going back.

This location was great for our small crew of kayakers and eBikers. There were plenty of places to drop in kayaks along the river, and the eBike trail at the end of the driveway went for many, many miles.Stuart was very helpful and quickly answered all of our questions. The gardens were beautiful, and great to hang out by the fire when night time came.

My wife and I stayed at River Retreat for four nights following our wedding. This hidden gem was exactly what we wanted. The home is comfortable and very quiet.

Beautiful location on the Delaware River. Lots of cute local browsing & shopping areas to enjoy. Great local eateries to choose from. Best part is you are right on the Delaware for waterfront views and activities! Host was great and communicated with us easily. We look forward to returning during the summer months!

The property is lovely, peaceful, and secluded. The owner was very responsive and helpful. I can’t wait to visit again!

We had a great stay. Gorgeous view and the place had all the accommodations we could want. Very close to some wonderful restaurants and the walking trail made for a fun afternoon.

Had a great timeA nice house with a beautiful view of the river

The neighborhood feels remote, while not being far from New Hope-Lambertville.

Very dirty kitchen and bathroom. Serious amount of mold in bathroom. I think there are issues with the shower and toilet drains. When bringing to the attention of the host, he declined to clean. VRBO saw my pictures. Said it was not an issue. There was another mold in the bedroom. We would not use the shower and put towels on the floor in bathroom. Host refunded all our money, and vrbo canceled the listing. We went elsewhere the next day.

We have a plesant stay. We enjoyed everithing
