My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our 37th wedding anniversary. The cabin has everything you need, plus some. This was our 4th time staying here and we look forward to more to come. Thanks to the home owners for offering this great property to the public.

Everything about the stay was accurately described. Place is cozy and very welcoming. Enjoyed the deck and hot tub. We will definitely be back. Sadly it rained most of the day Saturday, so the deck was slippery. Definitely plan to come back as it was a nice place for R&R. The perfect weekend getaway.

We loved our stay at the property! There is a fair amount of street noise to be aware of which surprised us as the porch with fire pit and Jacuzzi were a treat. The property has all kinds of outdoor activities and LOVED the swing down by the water. So enjoyed our stay. Absolutely recommend and would certainly be back!

Deck and outdoor chairs could use a good cleaning. Not easy to get to the river to use provided kayaks. Well water had a bad odor. Yard is very pretty. Very peaceful other than road traffic. Plenty of room for outdoor activities. Could use updated landscaping in the flower beds. Check in was very easy.
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 1 September 2026
Our apologies the outdoor furniture was not wiped clean, we have had a lot of weather coming through the last month or so; also, well water can put off a smell during barometric pressure differences. For future stays if you visit again, most people take a short drive down the road to put kayaks in and float back to cabin, seems to work best. Agree landscaping has grown a bit due to amount of rain we have had followed by a few days of sun; we plan to thin it out a bit as weather allows. We trust your stay was enjoyable and you were able to overlook some of what is out of our control as owners. ~Al & Sue
