“The Rivery Retreat” offers what most 3rd party platforms that take high service fees, such as VRBO and Airbnb, do not! They simply don’t have the ability to make each stay special with any sort of unique abilities to offer a variety of optional “Add Ons” or customizable retreat activities!
Customize your stay- Add a Specialty Basket for breakfast, lunch/picnic, or dinner/homemade goodies, or charcuterie board for easy snacks/appetizers before going out to dinner or having around the pool! We can stock your fridge with all your favorites BEFORE your arrival! Celebrate special occasions with a custom floral arrangement/s! Include hot tub package/s per your preference. These offerings are great for “retreat stays” (snacks or meals between activities), or for “grab & go!”
Reach out to discuss the possibilities for a personal Chef, catering and serving for your stay. We have a team of excellent Chefs, variety of meal plans, from simple to high end upscale, and catering options! Ask for our suggestions to compliment your schedule / budget!
Make your stay special with an experience personal and per your own tastes and preferences.
Our guests RAVE about our custom “Add On” offerings! (*Noted in hundreds of 5 Star reviews!)
