"The cabin is cute and clean. Beds were very comfortable. The best mattress I have ever slept on in 70 years. The only negative was there were persimmons all over the ground in back and outdoor table. Otherwise a great stay."

"It’s a very nice little cabin in the secluded woods. It’s right against the white river but there’s no good access to the water. We still had a great time fishing just up the road and would definitely stay again."
