About this property

Serene Waterfront Retreat with Stunning Views, Cozy Comfort, & Outdoor Adventure

Imagine waking up to the soft murmur of the river as it flows just outside your window, with sunlight gently filtering through the trees, welcoming you to another peaceful day at River's Edge. As you step out onto the deck with a cup of coffee in hand, the fresh morning air and stunning views of the river and surrounding forest create an immediate sense of calm and serenity. The beauty of nature surrounds you, offering the perfect start to a day of relaxation or adventure—whichever you prefer.

For those who love the outdoors, River’s Edge is a playground. Spend your mornings exploring the area with a paddle along the river, where you might spot wildlife or simply enjoy the stillness of the water. If you’re more into hiking, nearby trails offer the opportunity to reconnect with nature as you explore the lush, scenic landscape. For those looking for a slower pace, grab a book and find a cozy spot by the water or on the expansive lawn, where you can enjoy a peaceful afternoon in the sun. The property’s large outdoor space is ideal for playing lawn games, having picnics, or letting the kids run around and enjoy the fresh air.

As the afternoon rolls into evening, gather with friends and family on the deck for a barbecue. With the fully equipped kitchen and grill just steps away, preparing meals is easy and enjoyable. Imagine dining outdoors with the river as your backdrop, the colors of the setting sun reflecting off the water, filling the sky with shades of pink, orange, and gold. It’s the perfect setting for creating memories with loved ones, whether you’re sharing stories over a meal or simply soaking in the tranquility of the surroundings.

After dinner, take advantage of the cozy fire pit. As night falls, there’s nothing quite like sitting around the fire, roasting marshmallows, telling stories, and watching the stars appear in the clear night sky. The sound of the crackling fire and the gentle rustling of the trees make for an unforgettable experience. It’s moments like these that make River’s Edge feel like your own personal retreat—a place where time slows down and every moment can be fully savored.

Inside, the comfort continues. After a full day of exploring and relaxing, retreat to the spacious living room where you can unwind by the fireplace or enjoy a movie night with the family. The plush seating and cozy atmosphere make it easy to kick back and relax, whether you're chatting with friends, playing a board game, or simply curling up with a good book. The large windows ensure that, even indoors, you're always connected to the beautiful nature that surrounds the property.

When it’s time to turn in for the night, the bedrooms offer a peaceful escape. With soft linens and comfortable beds, you’ll drift off to sleep easily, lulled by the sound of the river just outside. Each room has been thoughtfully designed to create a restful, calming space, making sure you wake up feeling refreshed and ready for another day of exploration or relaxation.

River’s Edge is the perfect blend of comfort and adventure, where every day offers the opportunity to do as much or as little as you like. Whether you’re here for outdoor activities like kayaking, fishing, and hiking, or just to unwind with a glass of wine by the fire pit, this property offers an experience that feels both luxurious and down-to-earth. It’s the kind of place where you can create lasting memories with family and friends or simply reconnect with yourself and the natural world.

At River's Edge, you'll find everything you need for the perfect getaway. Whether you want to immerse yourself in nature or simply enjoy a quiet retreat, this property is designed to give you the best of both worlds.

Cozy Getaway

This sweet cottage overlooking the water was the perfect place to get away for the holidays. The place was immaculate, and had everything we needed. It was only a short drive to the grocery store and restaurants, but nestled in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the beach and trails. We got snowed in, which was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Tristan Sheard

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Tristan, and I’m really looking forward to welcoming you to River’s Edge! I’ve always had a deep connection to Saint John—it’s where I grew up, and I’ve spent countless hours enjoying the natural beauty of the rivers and forests here. Hosting at River’s Edge gives me the chance to share that same experience with others, and it’s something I genuinely love doing.

There’s something special about being able to offer people a place where they can unwind, get back to nature, and just take a break from the hustle of everyday life. Whether you're here for a quiet retreat or want to explore the outdoors, I love helping guests make the most of their stay. It’s always a pleasure hearing how much they’ve enjoyed the peaceful setting or discovering a new favorite spot.

For me, being a host is all about creating a welcoming environment where people can feel at home. I’m always happy to help with recommendations or anything you need during your visit. I can’t wait to share River’s Edge with you!

Why they chose this property

I chose this location for River’s Edge because it perfectly captures everything I love about Saint John—the peaceful riverfront, the lush greenery, and the sense of escape from the busy world. This spot feels like a hidden gem, where the only sounds you’ll hear are the rustling of the trees and the gentle flow of the river. It’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel relaxed and connected to nature.

What I enjoy most about this area is the balance it offers. You’re surrounded by natural beauty, with opportunities for kayaking, hiking, or simply sitting by the water and soaking it all in. Yet, you’re still close enough to town for convenience. Whether it’s grabbing fresh seafood from a local market or visiting some of Saint John’s unique historical sites, you get the best of both worlds here—seclusion and nature, with just the right amount of local charm.

There’s also a real sense of community in this neighborhood. Everyone’s friendly, and there’s a welcoming, laid-back vibe that makes it feel like a special retreat, whether you’re here for a weekend or longer. It’s this mix of peaceful surroundings and the warmth of the area that makes River’s Edge such a great place to stay.

What makes this property unique

What makes River’s Edge truly unique is the blend of natural beauty and comfort it offers. The property sits right on the river, giving guests uninterrupted views and direct access to the water, which makes it perfect for those who love to kayak, fish, or simply enjoy the calming sounds of nature. There’s something magical about waking up to the sight of the river in the morning or watching the sunset from the deck in the evening.

What sets River’s Edge apart is how it feels both cozy and spacious. Whether you're gathered around the fire pit under the stars or enjoying a quiet moment on the deck with a cup of coffee, there are plenty of spots to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the large windows bring nature in, making sure you’re always connected to the stunning outdoors, even when you’re curled up by the fireplace.

Another unique feature is the privacy it offers. You get that true “away-from-it-all” feeling without being too far from town if you need anything. The combination of serene nature, the riverfront location, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes River’s Edge a standout destination. It's a place where you can fully unwind, reconnect with nature, and create memories that stay with you long after your stay.
