Really cozy & well kept home. Unfortunately water table too low to put in kayak at house, but dock great to sit on & chill. Deck is terrific—has covered & uncovered sections which is really sweet. Easy drive to excellent hiking. All amenities also easy access by car.

Beautiful Scenery, Amazing stars

We had a fun filled, rain with sun and rainbows weekend! Beautiful lawn for kids and dog to play. Loved the cover porch for games and meal time. The beds were cozy and had everything we needed. Close to good fishing spots and hiked nearby in the fall foliage. Fire pit was nice at night!

Great property

The property was really nice. Waterfront was great, having the use of kayaks and canoe was great, the house and amenities were really nice, and everything was so clean. One of the surprising things this time around for us was there really weren’t any chores to do before we left which was a nice change from previous rental we have been too. The property owner was very responsive. Great relaxing stay!

Good cabin

Great first impression and comfortable house. The river where house was located was a bit of backwater-not the most scenic view of River and not the best fishing section. The sliding glass door did not slide well and was hard to open/shut especially for the kids, and thus got left open sometimes. All in all, a pleasant well-stocked place to stay.

Great stay

House and property were beautiful ! We had a plumbing issue and it was addressed immediately . The sliding glass door is difficult to open and close . The kayaks were hard to take out and it was very muddy and shallow .( I think because we are only in April !) I’m sure it’s a lot easier in the summer ! But once in and got going we caught a fish !

Cozy Cottage

Property is nice and recently redone. Location is great for river access and central to Downsville. The ability to use on site kayaks and canoe is great. Host communication is excellent and Justin was accommodating. Only 2 wall unit ACs with 2 bedrooms not having anyway to cool or move the air around. Borrowed a fan from a friend. Bathrooms could use a little more counter/shelve space for toiletries. Would definitely recommend this location for a Downsville retreat!

Escape from NYC

This house was truly an escape to nature. The view from the backyard looks like a painting. We kayaked daily during our stay. The equipment for kayaking is on the property with life vests! Justin, thought of everything! We saw an eagle ( amazing). The lake is beautiful! We got some great pictures. The fire pit at dusk while making s'mores was idyllic. The home was clean and Justin provided everything you will need. Additionally the communication was effective and prompt! Parents creating memories for their daughters...Priceless!

Such a welcoming and comfortable place!

Trout River House is such a welcoming and comfortable place! Despite the fact that the weekend we visited was a very hot and rainy one, we got to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, as well as the mountain views, right from the back deck overlooking the river. The deck roof provides more than ample coverage for the spacious dining table and chairs, the propane grill, and several Adirondack chairs. All of the appliances we used --- including the refrigerator, the oven, the stovetop, the coffee maker, the dishwasher, the microwave, the Smart TV, and the grill --- worked perfectly. Each of the three bedrooms is equipped with its own cooling unit (complete with remote control), as is the common area. Everything in the house is clean as a whistle! On our way out of town we stopped at the Downsville Diner, a very friendly place that served us generous and delicious breakfast specials. We highly recommend a trip to the Trout River House!

An absolutely wonderful place to stay. Communication with Justin was great. the cottage was very clean and cool as the temperature outdoors was 90 plus. The beds are comfortable and the big shower was delightful. Being at the end of July, the river was low but the view is fantastic. A blue heron came each evening to feed. Location to many hikes,etc is a bonus. Would definitely return to this place. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.
