This place is a unique, very private and beautiful safe haven, and yet minutes away from shopping, coffee, shops, and restaurants, the bike trail, the river walk and only 15 minutes from downtown.

Please note that we are very proud of our precious beehive located away from the house or any living area (on the north side of the driveway). Their presence is hardly noticeable but their work is well appreciated. They are wonderful pollinators and …. I can go on forever. They’re particularly fun to watch in the evening.

Our guests are welcome to respectfully enjoy all amenities except the steel shop area in the far south west corner of the property. My favorite is drinking my morning coffee at the fire-pit listening to and watching the chicken before I collect their fresh eggs to make my favorite omelette.

- "This River Haven House is an absolutely breathtaking property! Grandparents (in their 80s) enjoyed walking down to the river every morning & enjoying riverfront view on the hammock. Grandkids loved hanging out in the HUGE game room in the garage with ping pong & foosball tables. Pups loved running on the big grassy area. We just wished we picked a cooler season, so we can enjoy the incredible yard more. And there a heavenly chicken coop on site nestled by a bamboo forest and water fountain. Highlight of our stay was when property manager asked to come by to feed chickens and brought us FRESH EGGS!!! Love the "from farm to table" experience."
