Moldy bathroom, dirty kitchen.
Very dirty kitchen and bathroom. Serious amount of mold in bathroom. I think there are issues with the shower and toilet drains. When bringing to the attention of the host, he declined to clean. VRBO saw my pictures. Said it was not an issue. There was another mold in the bedroom. We would not use the shower and put towels on the floor in bathroom. Host refunded all our money, and vrbo canceled the listing. We went elsewhere the next day.

Wonderful River Retreat
This is our favorite VRBO property. Absolutely beautiful setting with magnificent views of the Delaware River. Great accommodations that are maintained with care and attention. Also, great location close to New Hope and Lumberville on the PA side of the Delaware River and Lambertville, Stockton and Frenchtown on the NJ side.

River Retreat
If you are looking for peace and solitude - this is your spot! The back porch overlooking the river and all the wildlife is spectacular. The location was close to New Hope, Frenchtown, Lambertsville, Peddler's Village - so made venturing out very easy. We also discovered a walking trail alongside the property. Stuart was extremely easy to communicate with and if you are looking for privacy - he kept to himself. My mom and I never even saw him or his wife. Honestly I don't know how you can get a better location for a get away. We would highly recommend this home to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and river life as much as we do!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The porch was a fantastic place to start and end the day. We enjoyed the wildlife too. The host was very responsive to our needs and provided everything he could. The place is conveniently located near New Hope and Peddlers Village while providing privacy and quietness. Thanks, Stuart!

A Truly Magical Retreat
Stuart's place was the perfect spot for our family's short vacation. We were traveling during a major heat wave and were always very comfortable indoors with the air conditioning and ceiling fans, and outdoors due to the shade from trees and the large, covered deck that faced the river. Check in and check out were very simple, and Stuart was very easy to communicate with at every point. We had everything we needed for prepping simple meals, making coffee, reheating leftovers, etc. The location was great for it's proximity to many activities and restaurants in nearby towns such as New Hope, Lambertville, etc. All in all, this spot was a truly magical retreat and I think anyone would be happy to just stay at the property and enjoy the serenity. The nearby visitor-friendly towns are an added bonus. A few other reviews had mentioned bugs and I think that might depend on the season and how careful you are about not leaving the doors open.

Beautiful Location; Wonderful Accommodations
The River Retreat is very aptly named. Located on a secluded section of the Delaware River with a large back porch to take in the wonderful river view. The accommodations were excellent as was the communication provided by host Stuart. The River Retreat provides easy access to historic towns on both the New Jersey and Pennsylvania side of the Delawaeincluding Stockton, Frenchtown, Lambertville, New Hope, and Lumberville. We have already booked another stay for September. Paul F.

Very Nice Retreat
River Retreat was a perfect stay for us as we attended a sibling/cousin reunion across the river. The Cottage feel stay was quiet, peaceful and fully furnished. K-cup coffee and maker even. We did try to adjust the thermostat on the wall but ended up using AC window unit which was fine—suggested to leave an outside broom to sweep off deck. (I'm a floor person).

Great Location
River Retreat is a great secluded location with beautiful gardens, river views and access. The apartment is cute, and provides everything needed. The only negative was cleanliness. I am meticulous, and it was not up to my standard. Also, there were many bugs inside, after killing these, we did our best not to let any more in. I understand it is difficult to keep them out being by the river, when going in and out the door. Power washing the outside under the porch roof might help. Otherwise, we enjoyed the location very much.

Peaceful spot by the Delaware River
A real Zen property a few feet from the water’s edge. Watch the water flow by while you sip your tea. Bring your bikes for the lengthy bike trail running along the river, and just a few hundred feet away.

Great weekend retreat
Located right on the Delaware, with a deck that overlooked the peaceful waters and some quacking ducks - this was a very tranquil and rejuvenating experience for me. Just a short drive away are two townships, Lambertville and New Hope (on the PA side) that are known for their beauty and quaint (old and classy) feel. And so many trails all around to walk or bike or explore. And did I mention Peddler's Village is not too far away, either

Very quiet
We enjoyed our stay. There were some ants in the bathroom and one bed had very sour linens. Luckily, there were clean sheets in the cabinet and we changed them and were good to go. Stuart was very nice and quick to communicate and un-intrusive. We would stay there again.

Wonderful!
We really enjoyed this VRBO. We came to run a 5K in the area. Fantastic location, close to Peddlers Village, Lambertville, Frenchtown and New Hope. The rental was so lovely. A very relaxing porch facing the Delaware river. The place is so charming! Such interesting attention to detail in the way that it is decorated. The hosts were very helpful in connecting us with good places to eat. We did not have time to take advantage of all of the places to hike. We plan on coming back. Truly lovely.

Hidden gem with a beautiful view and close driving to attractions.
So glad I chose Stuart's apartment, it was perfect for our weekend wedding. Scenic Delaware Rive drive to get there then enjoy the same view from the porch. It is just like the pictures. Local restaurants nearby as well as Peddlers Village, the New Hope Railroad, the quaint towns of Stockton, NJ and New Hope, Pa. Stuart was always available by phone and we did meet him in person. All of our comforts were met. Highly recommend River Retreat !
