Jessie Street home
Loved our stay! Would rate it 4.5 stars. Location excellent, home amazing. Note: our grandkids however were a bit too young (4 of them under 5 years) to put alone in the kids‘ bunk room in basement- thought bunk room would be upstairs with adults near by. Parents took turns sleeping in bunk room. Overall a good weekend.

Incredible location
My wife and stayed here for a couple days with our two children and a group of friends and had a blast. The place was spacious and very well maintained. Clean, very clean. Brockville has a ton of stuff and everything you need is nearby. You can't beat the location/setting. Right on the water with a beautiful view, the hottub was magical, and dock to hang out and fish on. My son caught lots of fish. Very cool history to the place as well. Its 200 years old but also feels modern. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a proper getaway. I'll definitely be booking again, our family loved it.

Gorgeous Getaway
I stayed at the Riversise retreat with my family for Thanksgiving and it was amazing. This house has everything you could need. Stunning views and a beautiful waterfront. The beds were SO comfortable and the rooms were cozy & perfect for our group. The basement is incredible for the chilly Fall evenings where we played pool and the kids watched movies on the massive T.V. The home is in the best area of Brockville (as someone who is from Brockville), and so close to the downtown core. Everything is a 5-10 minute walk, shops, grocery store, parks, etc. We will absolutely be back! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Disliked: Check-in
Beautiful house on the water
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and even extended for an extra (5th) night. This home is set in a very beautiful location and is exactly as shown in the listing. This is a very quiet residential area and is perfect for a relaxing stay. The town is in walking distance with all that you need for supplies, restaurants etc. The only disappointment was the check-in process - purely due to incorrect information provided by the property manager. However, the owner was quick to rectify this and went above and beyond to make it any enjoyable experience for us. We wound definitely recommend this property and if we are in the Brockville area again, would definitely return.

Hidden Gem!
I hesitate to write a review because I'm looking forward to booking in the future and dont want it to be taken. We has 2 families staying there. 4 adults and 6 kids. The space was large enough for both families to have space. The kids loved staying in the bunk room and both sets of adults were happy with the bedrooms. All the bathrooms were comfortable, clean and appear recently renovated. We spent most of our time outside fishing off the dock, swimming (water was cold, but it's still May), or hanging out in the very large hot tub. Also we enjoyed watch all the differnt boats go by. The location in Brockville was very quiet. One aspect that we all enjoyed was that the location makes everything you need walkable. There's a grocery store around the corner. Our favorites were Richard's coffee house, 1000 Islands Brewery, and the saturday market. 5/5 and gold stars. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Stunning Views from a Beautiful Home
The house was all we hoped for and more. It was such a lovely and comfortable home for our combined families to enjoy for a long weekend. So many rooms allowed us all to spread out, and the entertainment space in the lowest level, with huge TV, bar seating and pool table was great for us all to gather together. Bedrooms were very comfortable and the younger ones especially enjoyed the bunk bed room. Bathrooms were nicely updated and 11 of us managed just fine with 2.5 baths. Kitchen had all we needed and had the most stunning views. The whole back of the house offered the most gorgeous views and sunshine. Several access doors to the backyard, dock and river. We loved the large hot tub, morning coffee on the deck, and hunting for sea glass at the water’s edge. Also enjoyed the house’s proximity to walking trails, the grocery store and town shops and restaurants. It was perfect spot all around! We also appreciated the personal communication from the owners and that they provided many things we needed (towels, tissues, toilet paper, hand soap, etc.).

Family gathering
Some of our family members stayed at this beautiful home when visiting Brockville for my grandson’s baptism. The house was even more beautiful than pictured, and very well furnished and equipped. We also enjoyed the central location, just a short walk from downtown. I’d love to stay there again and would recommend to others.
