for a good book.

Winter at BeachRiver is an invitation to slow down. Settle into a comfortable reading space, enjoy coffee, tea or hot chocolate, and spend time with your book in the company of fellow readers.

The screened patio will be our main reading space, with Adirondack chairs, cozy blankets and river views. You can also find your own corner in the great room, beside the bedroom fireplace or outside around the fire pit. Between chapters, there is room to rest, warm up in the sauna and take in the river.
