Deluxe Riverside Accommodation
OwnersTodd and Diane Griscom want you to be as comfortable as possible in their vacation home. That is why they furnished the River Retreat with a long list of conveniences ranging from a 21 spice collection in the fully equipped kitchen, to the complete entertainment system featuring a Kenwood stereo system with a 5 disc CD changer, DVD player, and 100s of TV channels. Central heat and air keeps you comfortable any time of the year. Ashley's even has a washer/dryer set for your use.

And then there is the river just a few feet away. You can fish one of the best brown trout holes on the river right from Ashley's private bank. Or just watch the water roll by from your choice of an elevated deck, an elevated screened porch, or from a ground level patio.  Dine outside on the deck or screened porch. If dining out on the town is your choice, you have several good restaurants within a 15 to 20 minute drive.

The master bedroom has a queen bed, a ceiling fan, an 8 foot long reach-in closet, a suitcase stand, a 5-drawer dresser, a TV, DVD player, and it's own bathroom with a shower stall.

Yard Amenities
Ashley's River Retreat has large front and back yards with outdoor lighting. The front yard, which borders the quiet country road, makes an excellent boat trailer parking area. The back yard, which borders on the White River, has a patio with furniture and a wood burning fireplace. Regulation horseshoe pits, a big swing for the kids, a basketball goal, and a BBQ smoker make the yard a great place for outdoor family recreation.The terrace above the lower yard has another patio. The lower yard is a combination of grass and trees. A sidewalk leads down to the high water mark. You can enjoy the riverfront from both the deck and the screened porch which overlook the back yard and river. The 18' x 10' screened porch has a dinette set with seating for four persons, two ceiling fans, and patio chairs. A frame hammock on the deck makes a truly lazy way to enjoy the whole scene!
