Relaxation and Recreation on the River!

River Ranch Retreat is situated directly on the Maumee River, west of the Providence Dam, Grand Rapids, OH, and is located on coveted deep water. Dock your boat or jet skis at the River Ranch dock, bring wake boards, water skis, tubes, and enjoy over 20 miles of open water way. Boats can be launched at Mary Jane Thurston State Park Marina, one mile away. Hike or bike trails at Mary Jane Thurston Park, view Providence Dam, tour Ludwig Mill, take a boat ride on the Erie Canal. Visit the historic town of Grand Rapids, Ohio, enjoy casual or fine dining, a pizza with the family, and, of course, ice cream! Visit shops, including several antique shops, holistic and craft shops, "The Dam Gift shop," local wineries, take the kids to the play ground, hear local musicians and attend annual festivals. You'll inevitably catch a glimpse of Bald Eagles, Blue Herons, cranes, loons and jumping fish. Farmer Brett is right down the road for local produce. Enjoy watching spectacular sunsets and sitting by the campfire. This retreat is clean and comfortable to make you feel right at home.

4th of July Weekend

We really enjoyed the river access and brought our ski boat to the house. The views from the back of the house were great and being able to boat from Grand Rapids to Napoleon was ideal. We even stopped in at Lallys Marina next door for a ski rope and bag of ice.

Home Away From Home

This is our second stay at this property and we loved it! The owners are incredibly thoughtful and we loved the basket of goodies! We were there during a very hot time of the year and the air conditioning was great. The house is very clean and there's plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and relax. There are several places to eat within 15 minutes or so, and the kitchen is well appointed if you want to make easy meals at the house. We really enjoyed sitting in the back yard watching the boats on the river and taking in the beautiful sunsets.

Comfortable getaway

The house was great for visiting with family. Plenty of open space inside. The space at the river was fun for all. Dining and ice cream was just down the road in Grand Rapids. We will stay again.

Clean and Cozy

This was a great place to stay! We were in town for the weekend visiting family, and the location couldn't have been better. The house was clean and cozy, and the river view out back was just gorgeous! The host provides a lot of little extras to make you feel comfortable, and we had a really great time.

awesome stay!!

We thank you for sharing your home with us. We loved the location because I was visiting a friend that lived on the other side of the river and came to pick us up on her pontoon!! My husband and son got in a lot of fishing, so that was a plus!! If available we will stay with you again. Thank you again Susan DiVenuto-Young

Beautiful Property!

This house exceeded all my expectations! The only complaint I have is the bed mattress was super hard, felt like I was sleeping on the floor. I would not use this property again ONLY because of the bed. Everything else was outstanding!

Solitude and serenity on the river

Nice, peaceful, relaxing. Hosts went over and above. Only problem was the steps down to water and firepit and carrying things down, especially firewood. Safe neighbothood for someone traveling alone.

Amazing!

I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The host left a basket of snacks which was extremely thoughtful (and there were even a couple bottles of wine in the fridge!!). The house was spotless and the location was beautiful (right on the Maumee river). I contacted the host prior to booking to ask about the location with relation to a wedding we were attending and he responded within 30 minutes. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Zero complaints. Thank you!!

Amazing River Vacation!

This house was absolutely perfect for us. We are a family of four with two teenagers. We're originally from Northwest Ohio with family now scattered from Toledo to Napoleon. This location was perfect for visiting family and just relaxing. I had forgotten how lovely the river is and how pretty the surrounding little towns are. With 24 going all the way through now, the location is great. The house is very clean, extremely well equipped, and the welcome basket!!! They give you all the goodies for s'mores and wine too!! What a great surprise! If you're looking for a quiet getaway, some river fun, or just scenic views close to Toledo, this is it. I will stay here every time I visit family. Way better than a hotel! Hosts were also very responsive... Texted us after a thunderstorm with a power outage to tell us when the power would be back on and asking if we needed flashlights or candles. We were super impressed with all the extras like the coffee pods, extra blankets and pillows, and the welcome basket. They also have lots of seating outside and inside. Loved the chairs outside too. These hosts thought of everything and we can't wait until our next visit!
