Everything was beautiful. A few suggestions for us older guests: all stairs a including hot tub steps need no slip grip strips they are super slippery. The house also needs a fan. I was constantly opening the doors. Only one door has s screen do would stand in other door in middle of night to cool off. Yes it is menopause but would have loved a fan. Everything was marked and spotless! Would love to stay again ! 5 Stars!!

Had a great stay at Rivah Camp! I was looking for someplace quiet to get away for a few days and that is exactly what I found. The host, Erin, was very helpful in ensuring a relaxing stay and was prompt in responding to any questions I had before and after booking, or providing recommendations. The rental itself was extremely well equipped with anything you might need, from toiletries to kitchen cookware and utensils. They had both a small coffee maker and water pot for tea, which I especially appreciated. Additionally, the whole place was kept extremely clean and you could tell thought was put into making it a comfortable place to stay. The grounds themselves are beautiful and relaxing. There was no one at the cabin next door so I had the area to myself and could read out on the deck and listen to nature, and the hot tub was great at night to see the stars (and a few meteors!) The only downside was there was a bit of construction going on down the road during the day but it was far enough away to not disturb too much. Overall this location is well located and the town of Bethel is a seven minute drive with some great cafes and restaurants, or plenty of nature spots in the area for hiking, walking, etc. I miss my time there already and will certainly be staying here again when I am back in Maine!
