This was our second stay at Rocky River Lodge, and it was every bit as wonderful as the first! We rented both cabins with my side of the family and had such an amazing time together. The setting is just perfect—nestled in the mountains and right on the river. We spent our days canoeing, kayaking, and tubing, and our evenings roasting s’mores around the fire and laughing together under the stars.It’s such a special place for making family memories, and we’re already talking about when we can come back again. Everything was clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained, and the owners clearly put a lot of care into making it a welcoming getaway. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful and fun mountain escape!

This place is beyond fantastic! The view of the water is unbelievable, the place on the creek to swim and tube is terrific, and there are loads of activities. This is a gem of place to stay!Literally the only downside I can think of was that we couldn’t figure out how to get good old fashioned cable on any of the TV’s. There were like 900 bizarre channels but the classic cable TV package could not be found, so trying to watch playoff baseball and football required a laptop and an HDMI cord.That’s literally the only low note I’ve got - I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Our family of 17 stayed at Rocky River for the first time this past weekend, for a 4 day, 3 night trip, our first family trip in 10 years. Our stay was absolute perfection! The lodge easily accommodated us (the grandparents), 3 sets of parents, each with 3 children - ages infant to 18 years. We all slept very comfortably, in our own space. The lodge is stunning, with everything we needed. We brought food and drink, including the makings for smores by the firepit. Although it was cold (of course), a few of our crew got in and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful river, both swimming around in it and then taking the "littles" out one at a time, in the canoe that was provided with the lodge. We enjoyed everything the ideal home had to offer and the memories our family made will last lifetimes. We can't thank the owners enough, for sharing their home with others, to allow us this special time as a family. No one wanted to leave and we are already trying to pick a date for next year's trip for an even longer stay!There is absolutely no way to be disappointed in choosing to stay at Rocky River.

Yes we enjoyed the Scenic view everything was great except some of the throw pillows and the big swingon the patio was filthy. We had to flip over the padding in order to sit on it. I left a cardboard box inside the house we forgot to remove it I apologize for that.We was on the road when I realized we forgot to put it on the back on the truck. We cleaned the house and put everything back like we found it.Thank you for sharing your home with my family Lawanda

We definitely enjoyed our stay. There were beds for 7 adults and 8 kids and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The location on the river was perfect for the kids (ages 5 - 16)... beach area, shallow water and deep water. We were able to float down the river and come out at the house. We enjoyed both the short and long floats down the river. The hot tub was a nice plus. The hosts were very helpful and answered our questions and requests quickly. We are hoping to come back again next summer! We would definitely recommend this cabin.

Beautiful location

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. There was 14 of us that stayed three nights for a prayer summit. It was beautiful, inside and out! There were plenty of kitchen items, and the layout worked well for us! The kitchen supported several woman cooking and prepping, with lots of counter space! The water was amazing and we enjoyed the river and all the animals! The owners were very communicative and helpful!! We would definitely use the home again!!

Great cabin with lots to do!

The cabin was well suited for our big group of friends. The big hot tub, basketball court, volleyball court, and the river provided us with lots to do outside on top of the spacious inside area. The house was well stocked with kitchen items and lots of beds. No regular, unbroken ping pong balls were available though.

Good stay but bad experience w/ follow-up

We enjoyed the cabin. We found some fun things to do in the area. It takes a very long time to get to the house from the front gate but there isn’t anything you can do about that. The river was beautiful to watch and listen to and we spent a good bit of time in the cold water. Our growing family was able to comfortably stay in the rooms and have our own space while also able to be together in the common areas. We planned to leave a better score but ran into some problems after our stay. We were charged for things and spoken to disrespectfully. A teenage member of our family is non-verbal and has special needs. When she first saw the river, she was very excited and jumped up and down on the balcony really hard. Immediately following her jump, the lights globe below her crashed to the floor. We thought it was already loose, voluntarily told the owners that it broke, and planned to pay for the broken piece. When speaking to the man who owns the cabin, he told us multiple times that what happened didn’t actually happen and that they replaced the entire fan so we would be paying for the entire fan/light kit plus labor. Everything we did was done w/ integrity but it seems like Ian has some trust issues with visitors. He all but called us liars. Sarah did a great job making us feel welcome and communicating while we were at the cabin. We were excited to find a place that we could return to year after year but we don’t plan to get tangled up with Ian again.

Life Long Memories

Wow! Just wow! This place is incredible! The direct private access to the river provided our group with hours upon hours of fun! We felt like it was all the best parts of camping without having to “rough it.” The bedrooms on three different stories of the cabin gave each family some personal space while still feeling connected and open. The kitchen is fully stocked and had everything we needed to make lots of family meals. There is something for everybody here! Our littles enjoyed playing in the warm sun along the sandy river shore, our older kids spent hours tubing, rock hopping and rope swinging into the river and playing volleyball and basketball. The adults enjoyed fishing, kayaking, relaxing in the hammock swings and soaking in the hot tub. Our entire group drove to the tubing out in spot and tubed 2 hours down the river which was a blast. We were so thankful for the special memories made in such a gem of a location!

Wonderful weekend!

Once again we spent a wonderful weekend at Rocky River. It's the perfect place for a group gathering. There's ample space for all to spread out, and also enjoy meal times together. This year the weather wasn't so great but we didn't mind hanging around the well appointed cabin. Sarah and Ian are the perfect hosts and will do everything they can to help with anything that might come up. We keep on coming back every year because it's a perfect fit for our group. I highly recommend Rocky River for your next family gathering.
