A Gorgeous Riverfront Renovation Minutes From Downtown Cedar Falls

The Wildflower Riverhouse is a riverfront home nestled in a secluded neighborhood minutes from downtown Cedar Falls.

There’s lots to do at The Riverhouse. Brew some coffee and take in the stunning river views from nearly every room. Roast s’mores by the outdoor fire pit. Throw a fishing line off the dock or take the kayak for a sunset adventure. Relax with a book in the sunroom with panoramic views.

Whatever you decide to do at The Riverhouse, we invite you to find home in the wild.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
As parents ourselves, child safety is incredibly important to us. The Riverhouse includes the following features for child safety:
- A retractable baby gate at the top of the stairs in the loft area.
- Child safety locks on both the main entrance and sliding glass door leading to the sunroom.
- You will notice an additional entrance to the lower level of the home, but we have restricted access to that entrance via locked doors inside the home.
- Life vests hanging in the lower level laundry/storage room.
- Baby gate available in the lower level hall closet to use as needed.
- An exterior camera is mounted on the back deck. It is used to monitor the water level on the river for safety.
