The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, living room, sunroom, stainless kitchen and a full length porch with outdoor dining for 10.

This property was the most wonderful “home-away-from-home.” The interior was flawlessly clean, welcoming, and had all the amenities and necessities a family (with two kids and two dogs) could need! The owners of the River Perch on the Cacapon were gracious hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We truly felt comfortable and relaxed the whole time.

Simply put, this property is amazing! The scenery and surroundings are so tranquil and beautiful. My family and I enjoyed making s'mores at the fire pit, while listening to the river. We also enjoyed tubing and fishing the river as well. The house itself is well equipped and has all the modern amenities you could want or need. The host is easily one of the best hosts I've had in all of my travels and vacations. He is extremely attentive and responsive and gives great advice and recommendations on what to do in the local surroundings.We loved every aspect of our vacation at this beautiful location and we plan on making it a yearly trip!

Glenn was super communicative and answered all our questions beforehand. He was so nice and even provided s'mores kits and brought us some of his garden's produce as we were leaving. The property is wonderful and at a perfect place on the river. You can ride the rapids over and over on the provided tubes or put in further up and take a leisurely float to the house, which we did many times. You can hear the gentle rapids on the porch, and it's very peaceful. The house itself has literally everything you need including a hose under the porch to clean off after the river, a washer and dryer, a fully appointed kitchen, toilet paper and paper towels, and plenty of river towels. Glenn told us many cool things to do in the area, but we were having so much fun at the house that we only left once to go to a restaurant he recommended, Bonnie Blue. It was delicious. We will try to come back next year!

The visit was amazing! Although we had high expectations based on previous reviews, we were not disappointed. The house is very modern and spacious. The deck and the view of the river can't be beat and we wouldn't change a thing. We also got to meet Glenn who was incredibly responsive. We'll definitely be back with more family.

Beautiful getaway!

We had a wonderful 5-day getaway at the River Perch! The three kids spent hours on the river each day, we went tubing and kayaking, we got to see our dog enjoy her first real swims, and then we got to relax in the very cozy, very clean house with the beautiful front porch view of the Cacapon. Glenn made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay and was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot for a trip away!

Glenn, the host was truly the best. Accommodating in every way. The house was clean, spacious and located on a manicured lot. The view was awesome. Right on the river. We ate every meal on the outside covered deck. Every aspect of our stay was awesome. Our only regret was we had to leave. I can't say enough good things about this awesome property and host.

We absolutely loved the River Perch! The house was perfect and the location overlooking the river was amazing. Glenn was the best host. Our trip was short and sweet but he made sure we made the most of our time there. He recommended a wonderful hike, set us up for tubing, told us where to get the best burger (it was the best), and showed us a great spot for a sunset hike. It was an unforgettable trip. We loved it!

Little piece of heaven on the river!

River Perch was amazing! We had a wonderful family long weekend in November with our two labs. Even in November, the kids and dogs had a fantastic time in the water- tubing, fishing and wading. The river was relatively shallow- no deeper than thigh high on my 12 year old. My husband tried to fish, but after 3 days gave up. Super quiet, clean, remote and has everything you need. The Wi-Fi was strong and reliable and the TV was fully equipped with all streaming apps. The fire pit was stocked with firewood and the gas grill was super convenient. We would have loved to use the two chimneys in the chilly evenings but they appeared to be decorative. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook with- knives, cutlery, pots, pans, cookie trays, and even some basic spices. The coffee pot (not Keurig) , toaster and microwave were also helpful to have on hand for movie night and breakfasts. Place was super clean, newly renovated with a clean, modern feel- just beautiful! And the hosts could not be lovelier. Glenn answered all our questions and even left us s’more kits and a bottle of wine for our arrival. Check in was a breeze, instructions provided were easy to follow. The little town of Yellow Spring is about 4-5 miles away and has a Dollar General, gas station and a few smaller shops in case you run out of the basics. Could not recommend this place more! We hope to be back in the spring!

A perfect stay in a serene setting

We had an amazing short stay at River Perch. Glenn is an exceptional host and the home is perfectly appointed for a relaxing stay. The house is newly remodeled and they did an amazing job. The view of the river is stunning from both of the living areas and the deck is perfect. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and was very clean. The 3 bedrooms were set up wonderfully and there were plenty of towels (and beach towels!). The river was so fun and a great spot for bird watching. We ate some s’mores down at the river over a fire which was a perfect end to an absolutely lovely stay.

This is absolutely the best rental we have experienced through VRBO so far. Mr Glenn was the best host and communication was prompt. The house is lovely and the river is even better.

My family had a lovely time. The house and location were just right. Big, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. Enjoy the river from the covered front porch or walk over to the riverside and sit near the waters edge. Large fun tubes available to float in the cool water. Bring a mask and snorkel and look for crayfish in the rocky shallows. We visited nearby markets in Capon Bridge and Wardensville for fresh produce and interesting local crafts. Some of us brought mtn bikes and road some nearby trails.

I booked this home for July 4 for four nights with my son mainly for fishing and the close proximity of the river. Our stay turned out to be so much more. Glenn and his wife are excellent host. We got to see their family fireworks, use their kayaks, tube down the river and Glenn showed my son how to do some fly fishing. They were also very knowledgeable as to where to venture nearby for food and unique gift shopping. The home is lovely, very clean, recently remodeled and well kept. The river is so clear we could see fish and crawdads everywhere.. It was a great retreat to return to nature. It’s nice that you can’t see any other homes and this area is very quiet, but there are people nearby so you’re not completely isolated, which was comforting for me. I definitely plan to stay again, it’s a very special place.
