Great spot for our extended family of 12 - quiet, plenty of parking, places available to retreat to when you wanted some time for yourself, plenty of yard space for kids to play. Check-in super easy with a door code, modern kitchen with everything needed to cook. And can't forget about the pool and hot tub!

What an amazing weekend! The house was perfect for our large party. Little tight in the kitchen but we made it work. The yard and pool are the perfect spot to hang out. Will definitely keep this house on our list of favorites!

Overall we had an amazing time! It is a relaxing spot and the pool was just what we all needed. The kitchen had everything you needed. There is shopping close for all of your needs! You do need to bring your own linens and the river was not passable for us to kayak down to the attached pond but it didn't matter because we had so much fun in the pool! Marie was very responsive and kind. We will be back!

Truly an amazing stay for our family! The interior of this home had a calm and cool ambience; perfect for a much-needed getaway. Each bedroom hosted it's own air conditioning unit that did keep the whole house cool in this crazy heat. The stunning pool is the heart of this home! We all enjoyed floating, laughing, and cannonballing the afternoon away. There is a covered mini-outdoor pavilion which was ideal for our shade-loving family members. Gardens were blooming and beautiful. Thank you Marie for adding the personal touches, we appreciate it !

This was the fourth year we have gone to this house, and we have already booked it for next year. We love it and look forward to it. The hostess is helpful and quick to respond to our questions. It is perfect for our family. Our family consists of my husband and me, our two married daughters, their husbands, and their daughters (ages 4, 7, and 8). We gather fairly frequently at home, but it is usually to attend an event, so we don’t have time to catch up with each other. Our “vacation house” allows us time to chat, laugh, be silly, play games in or around the pool, make S’mores, and maybe even sing around the fire pit.

We really enjoyed the space, inside and out. There was several seating areas outside. One by the pool, one in the garden area and one by the fire pit. Just fantastic!The pool and the grounds were very well maintained. Outdoor lighting was well placed. The kitchen and dining areas were larger than it looked in the photos. 6 chairs at the dining table. We expected 4...bonus! Washer and dryer..bonus! The livingroom was large but more seating is needed to accommodate a big group. We used an available fan to circulate cool air from the livingroom into the dining room and kitchen. Overall we loved this home. We enjoyed every minute of our time there.

Our extended family loves Marie's place! The cousins love soending alone time in the kid cabins, and the dining room table is great for a rousing game of Monopoly Go. Nice huge TV makes movie nights fun, and the pool can't be beat. Thanks for a great visit!

Friends and family vacation

Great spot plenty of space in the house for everyone. Nice kitchen and livingroom obviously the salt water pool was great. We spent out nights near the fire pit and gazed at the stars. They really shine bright with no light pollution around here. Recommend having your monitoring coffee near the river access for a relaxing start to your day.

Great Experience

Had a wonderful July 4th week with family. The pool was a big hit with the whole family and made for a refreshing time on a hot week. The river out back provided some quiet time for doing a little fishing. Only down side was that there wasn't a dishwasher, but that was quickly remedied by a quick trip to the grocery store to buy paper plates and utensils! Even though you feel like you are in a very rural area, which you are, stores, restaurants, and amenities are only 10 minutes away!. A great place for a relaxing vacation!

Birthday celebration

The Arcadia River House was even nicer than the pictures on VRBO. The listing stated a full size fridge outside by the pool and is was a mini fridge and the kayaks would not hold the air. Would be nice if the owner disposed of garbage, people at the transfer station are not very friendly or nice! Other than that we loved our time there and are considering going back next year!

Bugs, so many bugs

This property backs up to a river and we expected that there would be bugs on the outside of the property. Strangely enough there were many more more bugs inside the house than outside. There were so many bugs flying around the food in the kitchen and dining room that it was almost unbearable. I woke up on the second morning to use the bathroom and the sink was absolutely covered in dead gnats! The only saving grace was the pool area where we spent most of our time. Except at night because none of the light bulbs worked. This is dangerous, especially for families with small children. The gate to the pool area is broken so if a child were to get out unattended it would be very hard to find them. Never again, especially not at this price point. I expected better for the price.

BEWARE: No towels or sheets!

Overall the house was nice. Kitchen well stocked. It's really fun to kayak on the river right behind the house. Very quiet location, great pool. But the owner was extremely difficult. Beware the house has ZERO sheets or towels. That is not an exaggeration. No hand towels in bathrooms, no kitchen towels. NOTHING. So if you happen to have 8 beds worth of sheets lying around and 20 towels, you're all good. For the other 99.999% it's extremely irritating. What's more, the house description and the welcome package DID NOT mention this, despite the owner saying they did (she was wrong). The ONLY mention was #19 in the legaleze of the rental contract. We had to buy all this stuff, and she didn't reimburse us $1. Which is also an ecological disaster for each guest to need to do this. Also one of us left an important keychain at the house and it took 20 days for her to send it, despite knowing its importance and being reminded multiple times.

Fabulous pool in a private area.

We had 11 adults in our group. Although there are things to do in the area, the highlight of this rental is a fabulous, deep, saltwater heated pool, which was well-maintained. There’s a shaded sitting area and many other seats in the sun. There is also a hot tub although it was pretty warm the weekend we went. There are lots of sitting areas all over the property, including a large lower deck, and a smaller upper deck. Behind the house is a river that was a little difficult to kayak due to the fallen trees. It was peaceful to sit by, however. We cooked and grilled all of our meals there except for one meal out. There are lots of beautiful trees, shrubs, and flowers on the property. The mosquitoes were pretty bad, but we brought lots of bug spray. There’s a large, smart TV in the living room that we used for gaming in the evening. Just across the street is a lovely hiking area. It was so humid that weekend, so we really appreciated all the air conditioners. We ran out of a few essentials, but there are plenty places to shop nearby. You must supply your own towels and sheets, so I would clarify before you go to make sure you have the proper sizing. Overall, we had a great weekend, and I would definitely go back here again.

Decent but wouldn’t stay again

I booked this for my family as we were in town for a wedding by the coast. I saw the comments about bugs/spiders and figured people were being dramatic, plus I wanted a big enough space that we wouldn’t be on top of each other for the long weekend. There were in fact a ton of random bugs in the house, maybe it’s a Rhode Island thing? The house was broom clean but to be honest the cleanliness state was embarrassing to bring my parents to, not a huge deal but cobwebs on the walls, spiders in webs in the corners, thick brown scum lining in the hot tub, that sort of thing. On top of this, the rule book they send is extensive and anxiety inducing, it lists bold, red font $500-700 fees for things like turning the heat up in the hot tub, not covering the grill, leaving any trash, not showering before entering the pool, etc. The two cottages are not heated at all so we could not use them. The pool, while noted as heated in the listing, was not heated and had multiple dead frogs and mice in it when we arrived. You also have to bring your own sheets and towels to the property. Overall, we cleaned out the pool and enjoyed it, and the space was large enough for us, but I would not book again

Friends weekend

There were no major issues, but I do want to give a heads up to future guests: bring something to protect/cover your food because there is a pretty serious ant problem. Within minutes of setting our pizza box down on the counter, the pizza itself was COVERED in ants. A few of us also found ants crawling on our clothes when we were food prepping in the kitchen. So just be aware of that. There also seemed to be a wasps nest near the hot tub that we disturbed when taking the cover off, so we didn’t have a chance to use the hot tub, but if you do choose to use it then please be aware of those buggers. Lastly, large flying bugs always found a way into the home and so did a terrifying Japanese camel cricket. You’re staying in the woods so don’t be surprised if the same large bugs & spider-like cricket join you on your vacation lol. The plus side to all of these large bugs is that not a single one of us got a mosquito bite and we were outside for most of our time there, so yay for silver linings! Lol Overall, bugs aside, we really enjoyed our stay. The pool was the most relaxing pool I’ve ever been in-likely due to the warm temperature- we spent hours just soaking in the pool. The house was fully stocked with whatever we needed kitchen wise, except for baking sheet pans so bring those if you think you’ll need em! Thank you to Marie for sharing her home with us :)
