Absolutely beautiful home and stunning view. Enjoyed my stay at this amazing home. I wish it was a longer stay, but we plan to return next year since we loved it so much. Clean home and all the amenities was a plus. Our family watched the polar express together in the amazing movie room, played some pool, enjoyed a fire and took family pictures. Great family memories were made in this home. Thank you so much for being a fantastic host.

The Riverside Retreat was the perfect location for our extended family to gather and vacation together. The house is well appointed, roomy, and the outdoor space was perfect for spending lazy afternoons watching the river. We highly recommend!

If you are looking for a tranquil getaway, this is the perfect spot. We had an absolutely wonderful time at this riverside VRBO. The location, right on the water, is so peaceful and makes for the perfect setting for morning coffee. The house is beautiful and very clean. We all agreed it is even nicer than in the photos. The host was very easy to work with. And check in was very easy. Franklin is a charming town. We would definitely return to this place in the future.

This home is beautiful and so well appointed. Our family stayed here for Christmas and it could not have been more perfect. The host had decorated it beautifully for Christmas! It is evident that a lot of thought and hard work went into planning and building this home. The host was very responsive to any messages. VRBO did not send us the access code to the property prior to arrival and I contacted the host who was quick to help out. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The weather was perfect and 2 of our group even caught a few fish! We would definitely love to return.

We had a great stay in the Riverside Retreat! Everything was just as listed. The Hot tub was very nice! The kids loved the theater room and with the Starlink WiFi we could stream our favorite movies! There was ample bed space for all our grandchildren on the first floor. The second floor had two spacious bed rooms for the two adult coulples. The third floor had a huge private master suite for me and my wife. Great fishing, swiming and tubing right out behind the house. Joseph the owner got back to us in a timely manner with any questions we had.
