This River Retreat is in a super location, minutes off the highway and only a short drive to New River Beach etc. Very quiet spot. Lots of space between these two attached cabins. 3 Bathrooms) Loved the layout. Bedding is primarily cotton which I much prefer to polyester sheets. The dining table is awesome.....extra large! We fit a family of ten around it easily. The cabins are really cozy, especially at night. The hosts had an outdoor bean bag game which was a big hit with our four year old, although some of the bean bags are coming apart. The cedar walls throughout add so much to the atmosphere of the place. The large veranda's are great too.
The issues we had were:
-the water......I understand the water has a high iron content so the owners have a softener installed. Something is not working properly with this as there is a very strong salt taste making the water not usable. We weren't informed of this until after we checked in and even then were told it was drinkable. We tried it but couldn't even use it for coffee. Had we known we would have brought lots of water with us.
-There is currently a strong sewer gas type of smell in one of the bedrooms and the utility room where the washer is located. Not sure if toilet seals just need replaced or if it's coming from the washing machine.
-the dishwasher is not functioning properly. It leaves a film on everything so we basically had to wash by hand or re wash. The cover to the soap dispenser doesn't close in it.
-Water also froze going into the newer cabin overnight early October and there was a small leak in a rain in a hall between the older cabin and the newer cabin.
