The River House, Classic historic charm!

Welcome to the River House, your ultimate group haven for creativity, relaxation, and cherished memories! Nestled along the Manatee River and historic Riverview Blvd in Bradenton, this enchanting vacation rental invites you and your companions to bask in its timeless charm and abundant space. Whether you're a group of aspiring writers, artists seeking inspiration, or retirees longing for an escape from northern winters, the River House is your perfect home away from home.
Step into the River House and let its captivating allure sweep you off your feet. Original hardwood floors, doors, and trim from the early 1900s whisper tales of history, igniting your imagination and setting the stage for the most unforgettable experiences.
Surrounded by the grandeur of ancient oaks, this serene setting offers an oasis of tranquility. The nearby Manatee River's gentle presence invites you to find solace and inspiration amidst nature's embrace. It's a haven where creativity flourishes, and the possibilities are as vast as the river itself.
In the heart of the River House lies the inviting pool area, a space designed for camaraderie and relaxation. Here, you and your group can unwind, sharing laughter, stories, and meaningful connections. With a private, fenced enclosure, the pool area is your personal retreat, where every moment is dedicated to togetherness and rejuvenation.
Indoors, the River House envelops you in comfort and warmth, making it the perfect sanctuary for your extended stay.
For the adventurous souls among you, the property offers kayaks and bikes, beckoning you to explore the region's hidden treasures and find inspiration in its diverse landscapes. After days of exploration and artistic pursuits, let friendly foosball and air hockey competitions spark joy and lighthearted competition among your group.
As the River House welcomes you with open arms, its five spacious bedrooms offer a retreat for every member of your group. From the king-size bed in the master suite to the charming twin/full bunk rooms and the inviting king and twin-sized guest bedrooms, each space is thoughtfully designed to cater to your unique preferences and needs.
Retirees seeking respite from the north's cold embrace will find their haven here—a place where the richness of history meets the warmth of southern hospitality.
The River House beckons you to write your own story, paint your own masterpiece, and revel in the joys of togetherness. Named for the river that flows nearby, it embodies the essence of creativity and connection, inviting you to create cherished memories that will endure for a lifetime.

Perfect rental for a few families to share

Our stay was great and the layout of the home was perfect for a few small families to share. The walkability to the riverfront was perfect for catching the 4th of July fireworks displays. We really enjoyed our stay.
