Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gloria A. 3 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay very much. Matt was a perfect host and even mailed my daughter's hair dryer that she accidentally left at the house. We liked the house even more than we thought we would. It has neighbors but feels private. It was clean and comfortable. The dog yard is phenomenal! It has a doggy door in to the screened in porch and most evenings we could leave the door into the house open so they can go in and out as they please. The hot tub was new and leaked so we were only able to use it once but it will be really nice for the future. I gave 4 stars b/c we really wanted to use the dock and water but no one warned us the ramp is way too steep in winter pool to climb up once you're down unless you're a super strong climber. We did not get to kayak or any of the things we were looking forward to. With that said, we will definitely stay here when the water level is higher during summer pool. ##### Gloria A.

This property is Top Notch. Very clean and decorated beautifully. Loved the layout of the house with so many different areas to enjoy. Easy to access by road and close to the dollar general if anything was needed. We were able to access the property by boat as the water level was still good.

Our family enjoyed this lake house so much even though it rained on and off most of the time. The paddle boards and kayaks were great and also a paddle boat was available. We were able to make s’mores around the fire pit one night. Perfect setting! Also have a great fenced in area for dogs or small kids. Owner was very accommodating and the house was especially well stocked with basics compared to other Vrbo’s we have rented..

This was the perfect little place for all of us. One of the biggest perks is it only had about 20 steps to the lake, which made getting to the lake easy for our parents. We had a great time just hanging out at the house when we weren’t on the lake. ##### Amy A.

Matt was so nice and accommodating to us. We actually lost power due to a storm and he showed up and hooked up a generator for us! The dock is kinda small if you have a really big group but they have a fabulous lily pad you can use that we spent the whole weekend using! Great place!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b47fc5c8-2b86-44a7-bcb3-98687aca788f-1749666611390.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Savanne H.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every detail about the property. ##### Kim W.

Our kids had a blast swimming off the dock and the boat ramp across the cove was convenient and easy to use. ##### John W.

Our stay at Riverbend Ranch Lake House was disappointing. The property had known air conditioning issues that led to multiple interruptions throughout our trip for attempted repairs—disrupting nearly half of our stay. The owner provided a very small partial refund for the two nights without air, but showed little remorse for the inconvenience and disruption we experienced.The listing advertises accommodations for up to 12 guests, but the living room lacked adequate seating, and the dock only had two chairs. There was no dog swim ramp as listed in the description, and several listing photos were misleading or inaccurate. I would not recommend this property. The listing needs to be updated to reflect the reality of what’s being offered. Not worth the money. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3cc3c3b0-0717-4429-a5f3-7d28f1ee58e2-1752162938902.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/85a37f9f-103d-429f-9c50-9ddfb46661ca-1752162940166.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/17527d5d-4296-42f7-accb-96fa17e214f5-1752162939929.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3664f9c9-a263-4be7-bd6d-cb1f82903085-1752162940003.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Becky M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terri J. 15 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Everything about accommodations & interaction with host was excellent. Would have given five stars had we been able to easily access the dock to fish & enjoy the water toys avail. The water was so low the ramp to dock was dangerously steep. That’s on us - we should have checked ahead. 2 of our brave young adult were able to climb to the dock to use canoe.That said, the porch, tree swing & fire pit (with complimentary s’more fixings!) and perfect weather made it a snuggly family weekend. We’d love to come back in late spring or summer to get the full lake experience!Thank you Matt for hosting us! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2fe87734-a22c-45b1-bdd3-479c0a913d66-1760495172938.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Terri J.
