Could of been better

Could of been cleaner. Taking shoes off every time in house was a major inconvenience. Figuring out AC and fans could of been easier with instructions. BBQ and pizza oven along with bathroom window was filthy with spiders and webs. The flies that came in late afternoon was terrible they surrounded the door-thousands of them. Would of be nice to know that the nearest store was miles away. The yard and river were beautiful. the current is way too strong to go into.

Peaceful escape

We enjoyed our stay despite the rain. I needed to get away from work and recharge and this was the perfect place to do so. Having the river so close is amazing and my husband caught and released a fish. The dogs had a good time too. We would definitely stay here again.

GORGEOUS Family Reunion for 3 Generations & pups

This River Haven House is an absolutely breathtaking property! Grandparents (in their 80s) enjoyed walking down to the river every morning & enjoying riverfront view on the hammock. Grandkids loved hanging out in the HUGE game room in the garage with ping pong & foosball tables. Pups loved running on the big grassy area. We just wished we picked a cooler season, so we can enjoy the incredible yard more. And there a heavenly chicken coop on site nestled by a bamboo forest and water fountain. Highlight of our stay was when property manager asked to come by to feed chickens and brought us FRESH EGGS!!! Love the "from farm to table" experience.

Gorgeous property

We spent a very hot weekend here and enjoyed every minute. The property was super clean and had everything needed to make it fun for all ages. The lush green landscaping made it feel like a luxury resort. We would definitely want to visit again soon.

Wonderful stay!

We had a amazing stay celebrating my husband's birthday. The property was even more beautiful in person the home was very well stocked from exta blankets to wonderful fresh egss. The beds were very comfortable too. We felt like we were in our own little private park even our pups had a amazing time exploring the property. We hope to return soon this place is pretty magical from the soothing sounds of the river to the frogs at night we live in the city and this was just wonderful to get away from all that noise but still close enough to run into town or have food delivered. My husband is already taking about returning so he can campout in the tent next trip. The landscape is so lush and well maintained we were even lucky to spot in one of the trees a hawk and babys you will never get bored of the views I promise!

A Gorgeous Property and Lovely Home

Pulling through the gate, we were amazed by the beauty of this property. The landscaping and outdoor space is absolutely gorgeous. There is so much space to enjoy - we sat by the river, swayed in the hammock, relaxed on the lawn, played volleyball, bocce ball, and Frisbee. The house is well-kept and very comfortable. We had 2 teenagers with us who thoroughly enjoyed having their own space (away from us parents in the main house!) which was the bedroom and bathroom built in to one of the garages. The garage space is set up as a fun, sitting, hang out area. Complete with couches for plenty of seating, a big screen TV, a ping pong table, a Foosball table, refrigerator, fire place, and play area/supplies (for younger kids), the girls were quite happy! We all spent a good amount of time in there having a competitive ping pong tournament. The home has all the fixings for enjoying the outdoors - multiple BBQs, fire pit, pizza oven and wood (supplied). Communication with Sentia and Vahe was great. They were incredibly responsive and helpful. The Kern River is literally at the end of the property and part of why we selected this property. We were able to bring our dog and always appreciate pet-friendly accommodations.
