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.

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!

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.
