Had a lovely 2 night stay in one of the Riverview retreat cabins. The cabin was cozy and clean, and came with a BBQ on the deck for any cooking needs. Will be back in the warmer weather!

Ryan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the quiet atmosphere. The different sleeping options they had to offer. Beautiful scenery. Great care takers. Patrick and Cathy are awesome host. The place offers plenty to do, from nature walks, canoe rides, biking, swimming in the river and beautiful nature all around. Highly recommended. Great pricing.
Connie, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We only stayed one night before catching the ferry back to St. John but really enjoyed a quiet evening on the deck of the hut overlooking the river. We would definitely stay there again.
Niels, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very relaxing, cozy accommodations, very clean washrooms, friendly and helpful owner. Area is beautiful, a hidden treasure.
yvonne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, the owners were very nice and so were other people staying. The cabins were a great overall option to tenting, but if you have kids afraid of bugs, you should probably look at a hotel or an inn elsewhere. Honestly, for what it was, the price was a little high in comparison to orher accomodations in motels with AC and full service, but i crack that to the demand due to Warf Rat Rally. Ill definitely consider it for next year.

Robert, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The A-frame we stayed in was dirty, spider webs, etc. not been cleaned for a while. The bed had an extremely terrible mattress. The mice nibbling away on the wood at night didn't add to the experience
