Beautiful cottage and setting with lots of outdoor activities available!

The Riverside Retreat was just that...at Retreat! The home is very comfortable and well equipped. There were lots of little touches that the stay even more enjoyable. The ease of access to the river, the cycling/walking trail, and great restaurants was outstanding. Would definitely go back! Thank you for a great experience!

Perfect Location

There are not enough superlatives to describe this home. Literally steps from the little Miami trail. Three separate lovely outdoor spaces to hang out/eat meals. Was so fun sitting there watching people go by on the trail. The house inside is beautiful and there were so many nice extra little touches Throughout the house. Super clean. Even a fancy LED board with scrolling information. Just a short walk on the trail to acute little town of Loveland. We only stayed two nights, but wish it had been longer as it was relaxing. We never even ventured down to the river but having private access from the rental is another major bonus. Highly highly recommend. We will definitely be telling our friends about this place and if ever in the area will stay here again for sure!

Family wedding

Excellent little house right on the bike path - very clean with large bathroom and full kitchen. Used both the patio and covered front porch for relaxing, depending on the weather! Walked r bikes from the back patio right onto bike path - so convenient for walking or biking. Would definitely stay in this house again

Beautiful Home!

We loved our weekend stay at Riverside Retreat! The house had all the essentials including bath and kitchen items. The home sits just feet from the walking path, it was easy to take my little one for a stroller ride! We loved being close to the river. It was a relaxing and peaceful weekend! We will be back!

Comfortable and cute

We stayed here for a couple of nights while visiting family nearby. Everything was as described - clean, comfortable, and you could tell they really valued their customers - they left lots of goodies and treats for us and we really appreciated it. Would definitely stay here again!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The short walk to town and the location of the bike trail made the location very convenient for our stay. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the snacks that were provided and were very impressed with all the toiletries, cooking utensils, and blankets. We hope to come back again soon. We would highly recommend the Riverside Retreat.

Perfect retreat when visiting the northern Cincinnati area.

The River Retreat was a perfect place for me while visiting son and family in the Montgomery/Indian Hills area. It is located adjacent to the Little Miami River bike trail which is highly trafficked by bikers, runners, walkers and dogs! Easy walking distance (via the bike path) into cute Loveland which has a great selection of nice restaurants, pubs, music and a weekly farmers market. It’s a very quiet place with just a few neighbors yet only minutes away from 275 and 71 so easy access to almost anywhere in greater Cincinnati. Great for a single person or couple for an extended stay with 2 extra bedrooms for guests if needed (granddaughters in my case). The only real drawbacks are no closets or dressers in 2 of the bedrooms and in nice weather, lots of people going by on the bike path (lots of fun for people watching but not a lot of privacy on the back patio). Most importantly, it was clean and well furnished. I will be planning on staying there again for my next extended visit to my family.

Exceeded expectations

Our family had a wonderful stay at Riverside Retreat. The house was perfect for our family of 4. Everything was so well maintained. The property and river access was such a nice bonus, my kids loved going down to the rocky beach. Also loved the proximity to town, we were able to walk to dinner!!

Amazing location and great outdoor space

The home is perfect for a relaxing weekend. We enjoyed the outdoor patio for drinks and then a short walk into the adorable downtown Loveland area. so many great restaurants to choose from and also enjoy the bike path. The check-in was great and the interactive tablet they have in the kitchen has all the information for a great stay. My family members were all planning to visit the area and rent the house in the future.

Great place by the River

This is a beautiful property right by the river and an extremely short drive to down town Loveland , enjoyed having the bike trail literally in the back yard. Would stay here again. The rules for the house are hardcore but understand since it is managed by a third party company.

Excellent Stay, Lovely House with a Great Location

Had a great stay at this beautiful little house. The location is secluded but reasonably close to anything you could possibly need. Perfect for cyclists since the Loveland bike trail is literally a few steps away from the back door. Would highly recommend checking this little retreat out for a weekend getaway.

Cozy Location in a beautiful nature setting.

Overall, my wife and I loved our stay at the Riverside Retreat. We were in town for a wedding, and the proximity to Loveland was fantastic. The house was very clean, and it was important to us that we were able to bring our dog along for the trip as well. The property manager was very responsive to any emails that I sent. We absolutely loved sitting on the covered front porch and birdwatching each morning. Plenty of deer also made appearances through the yard, and we heard barred owls nearly every night. The WiFi was fairly spotty, but this may be due to the significant rains that were had during our stay. The Loveland bike trail is right in the backyard and is very busy on weekends so just be aware of this feature. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!

Cozy location to get away from city life

We had a very nice stay in this well kept home. The decorations were very charming, and the kitchen was well stocked with spices and cooking needs (pots, pans, etc). The house backs up to a very nice trail for walking, running, or biking. Would definitely recommend this property to others.

So peaceful

We (4 adults, an infant and a doggo) stayed at the riverside retreat over the weekend as we were in town for a family event. It was PERFECT for us - more than enough space, gorgeous surroundings, easy access to everything and we especially appreciated the bonus surprises- a pack and play for the baby, and a dozen yummy cookies the owners left for us! Clearly the owners take great pride in their homes and truly welcome you like family! Being right on the walking/ biking trail was especially nice as we were not only able to take advantage of it easily (with and without the dog) but it also made for great people watching during our morning cup of coffee. We’ll stay here again when we’re in town!

AWESOME!

My wife and I wanted to stop in Loveland on our way down to Gatlinburg, TN. We bought kayaks from Mark at Loveland Paddle Sports the year before and wanted to float the Little Miami so we figured this would be the perfect opportunity. We are so glad we did! The float was great as we expected. What we were not expecting was to have such an enjoyable time in the town of Loveland! Honestly, looking back, I wish we would have stayed one more night. The location of this rental is PERFECT! We literally walked out the door and were just a few steps from the walking/biking trail that leads right in to the center of town! If we find ourselves in the Loveland area again, we will certainly rent this property again.
