The cabin is filled with music, board games, and puzzles. The retro decor is super cool!
Very relaxing ..we wish the shower water was hot, not warm…there’s a lot of iron in water. Puzzles galore, lots of books, enjoyable. Saw old neighbors as we had a place on the river…fun
We were cozy and comfortable in and charmed by this rental, and crazy about the river access, including the deck right on the river bank. The house is beautifully decorated with lots of great details to notice and a wealth of games and puzzles. Highly recommend!
This was our first (definitely not our last!) girls’ weekend and we couldn’t have picked a better place. We found Retro on the Beach to be very clean, well stocked and furnished. It was perfect!
Great location with easy access to the river. Nice to have an extra refrigerator and access to a washer and dryer. Very short distance to Honor and surrounding attractions. Kitchen was well stocked. Very nice back yard
Mid-century modern meets up north cabin on the river. Lovely space with plenty of room for our family of four. We relaxed on the deck on the river, played games while listening to the wide range of records available. Great spot with a great feel. We will be back next year!
