Welcome to On The Rocks, a stunning coastal-style retreat nestled along the serene riverfront. This spacious three-bedroom home offers the perfect combination of comfort and charm, making it an ideal getaway for families, friends, or anyone seeking a relaxing riverside escape.

The first floor features an inviting open-concept living and kitchen area with coastal-inspired decor. The fully stocked kitchen boasts modern appliances, ample counter space, and everything you need to prepare delicious meals. A large sliding glass door opens to a screened-in porch, offering breathtaking river views and the perfect spot for outdoor dining or lounging. Also on this level, you’ll find a cozy bedroom with patio access and a full bathroom for added convenience.

Upstairs, the master suite provides a private retreat with a king bed, an ensuite bathroom, and a private balcony overlooking the river—ideal for sipping your morning coffee or enjoying a quiet moment. The second floor also includes a third bedroom, thoughtfully designed to accommodate guests of all ages with two built-in twin bunk beds and an additional king bed. A full bathroom and a laundry area are also located on this floor for your convenience.

The outdoor living spaces are truly exceptional. Step out onto the multi-level patio to find plenty of seating options for entertaining or simply soaking in the natural beauty of the river. The firepit adds a cozy touch, perfect for roasting marshmallows or enjoying an evening under the stars.

Whether you’re lounging on the screened-in porch, relaxing by the firepits, or waking up to the calming views from the master suite, On The Rocks offers a riverside retreat that’s as tranquil as it is inviting.

Beautiful Home
We had a lovely stay. Very nice layout and the riverviews were amazing! We really enjoyed it overall. Only recommendations I’d make is to add a toilet paper holder on the 1st floor, have maybe less cups/dishes so it leaves some open cabinetry for storing pantry items, and to make sure dishes are clean (we discovered many in the dish drawer that were crusted with food). But certainly wasn’t a big deal, we would stay here again all over again! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
