The outdoor space was incredible (if only the weather had been better!). There was plenty of space inside as well. We mostly sat in the gorgeous sunroom. We will be back again for sure!!" - "We were a group of 6 adults and the River House was an excellent location for our work in New Glasgow. 15 minutes away it was nice to have a place to be removed and relaxed. Communication from host was top notch. We had some weather before our stay and it was communicated well. The long driveway hadn't been plowed and step cleared prior to our early evening arrival, but it was done within an hour of us arriving. Would highly recommend for a group. It is lovely in the winter and looks to be even more so in summer/fall season."

MAIN FLOOR: It has 2 private bedrooms (king bed and queen bed) and semi private loft (super comfy lazyboy double pull out with blow up pillow top) and super comfy lazyboy double pull out in living room.

3. LOWER LEVEL has a full standard bathroom, a huge recreation room, an awesome bar/kitchen, 1 bedroom, a workshop room that can be used as you see fit, and comfortable blowup beds if needed.

This home was completed in the summer of 2012. It was designed to create a unique space that inspired relaxation and serenity. Built to entertain large groups or a quiet weekend away for two, this property has it. With fine finishes and stunning views of the famous Northumberland Strait, you will not regret a weeks visit to this magical beach front home.
With the main level of this home perched high above the dune, you can sit on the very large wrap around deck, sipping cocktails with plain view of the entire beach and a close eye on the kids. The over water sunrises and sunsets are some of the most beautiful in the world. The vibrant and crisp colors of turquoise water meeting the golden sands and brilliant greens surround this property.
Inside the home you will find a magnificent chef's kitchen that faces out to the ocean in an open concept great room that graces two thirds of the floor space on the main level. With 17 foot ceilings and a 14 foot high stone fire place, the beauty is not limited to the beach. With dark walnut floors, bright white heritage trim, multi colored slate flooring and stone throughout, the colors are as vibrant and brilliant inside the house as out.

The main level rental is roughly 2500 square feet including the loft that overlooks the great room. The master bedroom features a king bed, wood lined ceilings, contours matching the roof lines and an exquisite view of the ocean through your private doors to the large wrap-around deck. The room also features a 5 Piece bathroom with two person jacuzzi, custom built walk in shower, and double vanity.

The main level guest bedroom features a queen size bed, roof contour lines, large closet and large bright windows. This bedroom has a 3/4 bath (toilet, vanity, shower) just outside of its door which is at the end of a private hallway. A linen closet can be found tucked in the corner here so one can slip in and out of the bathroom or grab sheets or a towel going unnoticed by anyone in the great room.

The loft with semi-hidden stair case behind the fire place makes for a suitable, cozy third sleeping area on the main level. It is open and perched high above the main living room. I would not recommend it for the elderly but is fine for kids and adventurous types. It is good for a young couple or the last people up! It has its own skylight which provides a bright and well-lit environment during the day but won't bother you in the morning or at night. There is a chaise lounge with pull out bed. This bed features an automatic blow up pillow top that makes for a very comfortable, double mattress size sleeping arrangement.

The sun room in the front is part of the great room but in its own alcove at the front of the house. The deck on the exterior wraps all around this room so from the inside out, it's as if this extends the interior floor space another 900 square feet. With two doors from the sun room to the deck and another double door off the dining area, guests can move freely from inside to out. In the sun room there is a large sectional couch facing out to the ocean with a 180 degree view of the Northumberland. This couch also has a pull out, blow up pillow top, double sized bed in it. This makes for another great sleeping area with an impressive view of sunrise and sunset from your bed. For the early riser, this is a great place to be woken by the sunrise and be the first one on the beach for a morning jaunt.

The beach stone fire place, dining area and large chef's kitchen with bar style island are all in the great room proper. The kitchen sits on the backside of the room viewing out to the ocean so the chef in the family can enjoy a view of the water while they prepare drinks or dinner behind the island. The fireplace is visible from all angles in the room and faces towards the dining area and sunroom in the front. There is seating surrounding the fire place which makes this a great place to retire to after dinner for conversation or to enjoy the main room TV that is on the wall next to stone column. The dining area is off to the side of the great room and has a set of double doors leading to the deck which creates a wonderful view for dinner with a full wall of windows to compliment.

The main level has a laundry/mudroom, 3 central vac outlets including a sweep away in the kitchen, the main level common bathroom down the hall to the bedrooms and the entry way leading to the mid level main entry. The main entry sits between the two floors with a grand ceiling height and closet space to greet your guests and give you a place to remove shoes and hang jackets before proceeding to the main or lower level.

The lower level has a closed-in entry way with an alcove. The entry, lower stairs and the alcove itself are all completed in slate for durability and aesthetics.

The house has been set up that the lower level is partially closed off with a set of double doors found at the foot of the stairs. These double doors, when open, create an opening to the remaining space of this level. This level includes another full kitchen, bath, bedroom and great room. This space is available for rent along with the main floor. The bedroom and bathroom are off to one side of the basement with the kitchen, sun room and recreation room all in one. The rec area is frequently used by guests (great place for kids on blowup air bed). This level has two doors to the exterior and also features a great view of the Northumberland Strait.

The deck features two 6 person tables, a BBQ and several lounge chairs for guests to enjoy the sun and view of the beach. It has a large set of stairs down to the front lawn with the beach only a few steps away in your bare feet. The house is surrounded with a wooden beam wall that has gently sloping stairs to the front lawn and entrances.

The back yard is steadily becoming more landscaped with lots of parking and lawn. The sides, front and rear of the house have full thick grass for kids to run around and enjoy the spring summer and fall. The path to the dune stairs is filled out with poplar trees and sapling birch. Sea grass greets you on top of the dunes to welcome you to a walk down the weathered wooden stairs to arrive on the golden sands. Take your lawn chairs down for the day and leave them there to return later for the nightly bon fires with the beach community. Fire works are common here and singing can be heard from the deck on some occasions.

Unfortunately it is difficult to allow pets due to allergies and potential damage to the beautiful walnut floor.

Private chefs, cleaning services and baby sitters may be arranged to come into the house if the guests so desire. If you have any other questions please ask.

- "Amazing house, huge living room and beautiful beach. Water was 20C (70F). Mark was a great host!!" - "My family of 11 enjoyed a week here. The home is as advertised but really more beautiful in person. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was especially well equipped which we appreciated. The beach is fabulous and we enjoyed daily swims. The water was even warm enough for the adults. We would definitely stay here again." - "We had extended family gathered together in one place for a week and we all enjoyed ourselves.
