The Upper Deck on Riverview

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY:
You’re up high looking over the river with some good privacy features. The cabin has spacious ceiling heights and feels light and airy. Bedrooms are at opposite ends of property and the master bedroom on the riverside has an ensuite tiled walk-in shower. Large lawn gently slopes down to the river’s edge where if the levels are right, you can cast your line there.

Rent our next-door sister cabin 'The Lower Deck, to expand your group size and experience."


**Please be sure and click through all the photos and read the full description as we think it will answer most questions you have in advance or will need prior to packing up and heading our way. But please, feel free to reach out with any questions. We love them.
Rental Prices are dynamic. This means that the prices vary – determined by software – dependent on area inventory, day of week and time of year.


ABOUT THE WATER:
This river is very cold and swift even in August. (Makes for great cool breezes on summer evenings). It is tail waters from two dams and levels fluctuate daily. You may or may not be able to easily stick your toes in the water. Anglers' and Jack's Resort rents John boats and trout guide services economically. Boats can take you to confluences of other creeks where you can swim. Really fun!

This property is EXACTLY as pictured!

This property is EXACTLY as pictured! It has a beautiful waterfront view and we were able to fish right off the bank. It is about 18 minutes from Blanchard Springs Caverns and was easy to locate using the directions from the owner. (GPS acted a little weird as they said it would.) We only got to stay a couple nights because of work, but will definitely be back. There are tons of hiking trails as well as horseback riding and zip lining available within a 20 minute drive. I highly recommend this property!

Loved the river. Great home!

Overall the home was very nice, with a great view, water access, and very friendly neighbors. This is a pet friendly home, so if you are allergic to inside animals take this into consideration as there is lingering pet hair. The master bed mattress was very very firm and could be softer, so if you have a bad back make prior arrangements to your stay. Other than the pet hair and firm mattress, overall this home was a nice home in a great location with very friendly neighbors and a great view.

Just what we needed!

The Upper Deck was exactly what we were looking for...relaxing, quite, not our home. We have not travelled in this pandemic until now, we wanted something that felt like a getaway, yet not over crowded, with hopefully nicer weather than what was at home. This met our needs. The tranquility of the river at the yard edge was peaceful, the sunshine that graced us on the deck warm and relaxing. The home itself is welcoming, extremely clean and equipped. We actually only ate out twice, Wings and Snacks and Tommy’s Famous Pizza. We enjoyed ice cream in the park, and got to enjoy some musicians that were playing. We spent some time around Mirror Lake, and found easy to manage trials. One afternoon we made the short, curvy drive to Melbourne, some amazing scenic sites, I would imagine during fall are shockingly beautiful. If you are looking for a place to slow down, breath, and just enjoy family time the Upper Deck is the place!!

River view & location are awesome!

We travel to Mountain View each year and exclusively stay with Ivy Vacations given the service is unmatched. Each property has always been great, and The Upper Deck did not disappoint! My husband and I stayed here for 5 days and it served well for our much needed retreat. We spent most of our time at the house since it was clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The deck was my favorite location to bird watch or just watch the river go by. We definitely recommend the property and would actually love to return for a stay with our daughter.

Great views! Great area with quick access to everything.

Nice house. Fairly clean (just dog hair here and there, and on some blankets). Great views! Great area with quick access to everything. Definitely check river water level if planning to fish out back.. The water was very low and a good 6ft drop from edge of yard down to river.
