River Retreat with private apartment and deck on the beautiful Delaware River

Tranquil and relaxing best describes the lovely getaway treasure. Bordered by the
fully wooded Bulls Island State Park and the Delaware River with easy access to hiking, biking, kayaking and much more. Sit on the deck and watch the river and wildlife (there is a baldheaded eagles nest nearby, lots of dear, beaver, river otter, etc.) At sunrise the sky and river have a fantastic salmon-pink hue.

We were looking for a peaceful retreat along the river we have loved for many years. River Retreat provided that for us. We biked 40 miles along the towpath. Fished near Bulls Island. Ate at wonderful restaurants nearby. Sipping coffee in the morning listening to birds, crickets and watching the gentle river. Thank you Stu.

Beautiful Delaware River Stay

Beautiful location on the Delaware River. Lots of cute local browsing & shopping areas to enjoy. Great local eateries to choose from. Best part is you are right on the Delaware for waterfront views and activities! Host was great and communicated with us easily. We look forward to returning during the summer months!

Clean and Comfy Cabin by the River

This location was great for our small crew of kayakers and eBikers. There were plenty of places to drop in kayaks along the river, and the eBike trail at the end of the driveway went for many, many miles.Stuart was very helpful and quickly answered all of our questions. The gardens were beautiful, and great to hang out by the fire when night time came.

Wonderful River Retreat

This is our favorite VRBO property. Absolutely beautiful setting with magnificent views of the Delaware River. Great accommodations that are maintained with care and attention. Also, great location close to New Hope and Lumberville on the PA side of the Delaware River and Lambertville, Stockton and Frenchtown on the NJ side.

Quiet, peaceful, exceptional river views. Accurate description and comfortable space including room for adult kids to come and go. Hosts were attentive, accommodating and helpful. I would stay here again. It’s a bit distant from small towns for restaurants and shopping.

Peaceful spot by the Delaware River

A real Zen property a few feet from the water’s edge. Watch the water flow by while you sip your tea. Bring your bikes for the lengthy bike trail running along the river, and just a few hundred feet away.

Great weekend retreat

Located right on the Delaware, with a deck that overlooked the peaceful waters and some quacking ducks - this was a very tranquil and rejuvenating experience for me. Just a short drive away are two townships, Lambertville and New Hope (on the PA side) that are known for their beauty and quaint (old and classy) feel. And so many trails all around to walk or bike or explore. And did I mention Peddler's Village is not too far away, either

Beautiful Location; Wonderful Accommodations

The River Retreat is very aptly named. Located on a secluded section of the Delaware River with a large back porch to take in the wonderful river view. The accommodations were excellent as was the communication provided by host Stuart. The River Retreat provides easy access to historic towns on both the New Jersey and Pennsylvania side of the Delawaeincluding Stockton, Frenchtown, Lambertville, New Hope, and Lumberville. We have already booked another stay for September. Paul F.

Hidden gem with a beautiful view and close driving to attractions.

So glad I chose Stuart's apartment, it was perfect for our weekend wedding. Scenic Delaware Rive drive to get there then enjoy the same view from the porch. It is just like the pictures. Local restaurants nearby as well as Peddlers Village, the New Hope Railroad, the quaint towns of Stockton, NJ and New Hope, Pa. Stuart was always available by phone and we did meet him in person. All of our comforts were met. Highly recommend River Retreat !

Very Nice Retreat

River Retreat was a perfect stay for us as we attended a sibling/cousin reunion across the river. The Cottage feel stay was quiet, peaceful and fully furnished. K-cup coffee and maker even. We did try to adjust the thermostat on the wall but ended up using AC window unit which was fine—suggested to leave an outside broom to sweep off deck. (I'm a floor person).
