Easter Cabin Weekend

Every year for Easter my childhood friends and I gather together, and force our kids to hang out, play games, dress up & take pictures. This cabin was absolutely perfect for all of those things. Would rent again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was amazing, had great amenities, and had access to classic creek swimming. Host was very accommodating and answered all of our questions very quickly. Driveway caused our car to bottom out twice, would recommend not taking cars with less than normal ground clearance, only reason the stay was not perfect was the driveway, which was only a minor negative to an other-wise perfect cabin get away!

Relaxing

The booking was no hassle, easy and every question was answered quickly. The views are spectacular, we had an extremely relaxing time. The home is cozy and immaculate. The day we were leaving we found our car had a flat tire, called the owner and she sent someone who had an air compressor and had us on our way in no time. We highly recommend not just this rental property for the views and the beautiful nature hikes but the owners as well.

Beautiful Cabin

We stayed at this beautiful cabin for a week. It was very private and secluded which we definitely loved. My sons loved fishing in the river. They caught several different kind of trout and some small mouth bass. It's a great place to relax and enjoy nature and the beautiful river. Cheryl was a great host. We needed the outside trash cans to be emptied before the end of our stay and Cheryl was easy to get a hold of and made sure the cans were emptied immediately. We definitely hope to return next year.

Lovely stay!

My family and I enjoyed our stay here. We loved the privacy and peacefulness of the property. The cabin itself is incredibly spacious and comfortable for large groups. Having the river so close was one of our favorite parts! Despite the weather raining us out for a few days, we still enjoyed every minute. The beds were comfortable and having a fan in every room really made a huge difference on the 90 degree days! The kitchen was also fully stocked with all the appliances and utensils we needed, everything in perfect working order. The wifi was perfect for streaming music while outside at the fire pit or on the porch. Check in and check out was a breeze, Cheryl is very helpful and responds swiftly. We would definitely stay here again!

Walk to the Cabin 2021

My friends and I, all senior citizens (over 60) had a great time decompressing at the Paradise in the Woods. I downgraded the accuracy of the online listing because of my own preconception, but from the pictures it sure looked like the river was right outside the back door, although the railroad track grade made it impossible to reach the river without going down the tracks to the path where the gravel of the train bed was arranged for walking down. What a fantastic property - the back porch was the focal point of our hanging out, both during the day and in the evening. We never did have a fire, just too tuckered out from river kayaking all day to make it happen. We ran at least six times from the path put-in to the Alton Road bridge. The pool table saw a lot of use as well. Very enjoyable stay, very nice property. Thank you Cheryl.

Very remote, gorgeous property. I love the swing on the porch and the views from the deck. The cabin was insanely clean- like spotless. My kids loved the video game machine and the outdoor playhouse. We enjoyed walking up to the river access as well. The only thing that all six of us hated was the staircase, but I did appreciate the baby gate that was around the bottom. The host was incredibly friendly and a super communicator.
