Wonderful location.
House was super clean and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. Even little things like pizza cutters and wisks. The stream was beautiful and the property is well kept. Honestly, we might make a yearly trip to this location since it met all of our needs.

Beyond my expectations
This place was amazing! We stayed for a long weekend for the north country trail run, while celebrating the last weekend before back to school. The screened in porch is just heaven, could relax while my 18 month old played and older kids swam in the river, and see them the whole time. It was just perfect all around. I already booked for next year!! We will be back every year!

Amazing, clean, relaxing. Incredibly kind hosts. I've stayed at a lot of cabins, and short term rentals and this is by far the nicest. I hesitate to share a positive review because I want it to stay a secret but that's just not fair. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Great experience
Fantastic cabin with nice views and peace and quiet. Great time for the family with nice memories for all. Sitting on the back porch in the morning and in the evening was a big seller for everyone. High speed internet was great. Matt was great and was on site whenever we needed help with anything. He went above and beyond, fantastic host. Looking forward to booking again.

One of the top vacation rentals I have ever used. Super clean and everything you would want. A very well built home in a great location. They have thought of everything and there are no surprises. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this listing and I look forward to going back. Once word spreads on this property, it's going to be tough to find an opening!

Great men’s weekend location
Place was great, the studio was a bonus! Clean with lots of space. Summer, may want to pack a box fan for the studio space, but even without it was a great space. A lot of echo in the main cabin, but that’s just the nature of log homes.
