Took a solo trip to see some elk and do some trout fishing. This was a great little cabin very quiet with every thing i needed. Close enough to cherokee to be convenient and far enough away to be secluded.

The cabin was super cute and right on the river. Everything was clean and comfortable. Day checked in with us often, to make sure we were doing well. The only downsides was there is no couch in the cabin and the driveway is super steep. We would definitely stay here again.

Yes the river was very peaceful and beautiful. No bugs bothering us. The home is comfy and cozy and we found it to be a new get away. So thankful I spotted it on VRBO.

Although the directions were a little confusing, the host reached out to us before it was an issue and was very helpful. The only thing that would have made the stay better would be an easier way to walk down to the dock. Overall, even with the confusing directions and difficulty getting down to the dock I would recommend it to others and I would stay there again.

The studio is cute and overall we were pleased with the overall amenities. However, there is no stove and the counter top burner did not heat well. The AC unit is loud and the bed mattrass not very firm .The walkway to the river also unstable especially after a rain. Still we were very pleased with our overall experience and the studio. The studio was clean and well organized with some personal touches. So we gave 4.5 star out of 5.
