DON'T STOP AT THE DOTS...SHOW/READ MORE FOR THE FULL SCOOP!
The space
🛶Dock & boats are stowed away for the winter. No dock means no boats and no river access from the house, but you can often still access the nearby River beaches in the spring & fall. Generally, availability is highly seasonal, sometimes available July-Aug only, sometimes extending mid June-mid Sept, but always subject to weather, river & dam conditions, which change year to year. We never know exact dates until much closer in...no guarantees, and Summer 2026 involves a newly constructed riverbank/dock system, so we have less certainty about dates of availability than usual.

Walkthrough:
On River Time’s main living area is up a flight of steps. Off the living room, there is a kitchen and dining room to one side. On the same level, there are two bedrooms, one a master with a full bath, and a hall bath. There are steep stairs to a loft bedroom (open to living room-no wall). Out the front door, there are two levels of decks and stairs to the large greenbelt (no fences) yard. House is approximately ~1100sf.
*Please note:
--Home has outdoor security cameras directed at the driveway/entry.
-Very rarely, the neighbor to the left of house when facing river uses the front lawn easement to access their house. They have the right to do this. Please pay attention when occupying the lawn and allow them to roll through.
-There are steep steps to the loft, and the loft is open to living room – no wall.
-Airbnb categories: Countryside, Cabins, Vineyards, Amazing views. Grain of salt...other than "Vineyards," "Amazing views," and "Cabins," these categories do not fit this home.
-The lower yard furniture may be put away in winter.
