Great cabin
Perfect cabin for our family vacation. Right on the water and a short drive into town. Booking was super easy and communication with owner was great. Unfortunately, was unable to fish behind house because water too high and moving WAY too fast. We have a fantastic time anyways. Thanks!

These were perfect accommodations for our 3 night stay. Rustic, on the river, actually able to access the river and catch fish. We drove over 6 hours for our stay and would do it again. Stunning views, massive trees, good fishing. We were very pleased!

Great Stay
The house was a little dated but very clean! The kitchen was well equipped, and the house was well stocked with everything we needed to have a great stay. The location of the house was perfect. The view of the river from the deck was great. We had an awesome time. Will attempt to stay here again in the fiture.

Very relaxing zen feeling listening to the river water. Very nice screen in deck and open deck.
Very clean. My husband and I slept in the twin beds as we usually sleep in a king bed. I toss and tirn a lot so we thought the twin beds would work best. The beds were comfortable enough. My sister in law slept in the queen bed and said it was pretty soft. We think the mattresses need to be flipped/turned. The ceiling fan in the twin bed room made a lot of noise so we couldn't use it while sleeping. It should be replaced. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful View!
The place is as described in the listing! Property manager was very helpful with all our questions. It has an amazing view and the home has all the essentials you need for your stay. A few things we would suggest, is a new BBQ pit, we made that one work but it was falling apart. Home could use a good dusting, other than that the home was very clean and sanitized. Beds were very comfortable and had plenty of blankets for the cold nights. My boys even bragged about how comfortable the beds were! The did do some fishing and caught some trout in front of the cabin, if that is an interest to you. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!

We absolutely loved staying here. The property was extremely clean, the view was fantastic and had great access to the river. Would definitely stay here again. The only thing is it's hard to find from the road if you come in in the dark.
