River sounds are calming

Loved the river view and fishing. It was great to be able to drop at the bridge and tubing down took about an hour. Spent almost 2 weeks there and was not ready to go home.

River Fun -June 2025

We had a great time at this cabin. It is close to everything, but the road is long to the house so you may want to stop for groceries before you get to the cabin. Bring your fishing gear and a float or tube. This property is right on the river so it adds endless fun to your stay.

2nd stay

We absolutely love this cabin! I love the little touches of soaps and shampoo, just in case we forgot, which we did! The next-door neighbor has two cats and a dog that adopt you when you come to stay in their wonderful source of enjoyment! Having access to the river Was so much fun, especially for my boys who love to explore nature.

The property and setting were fantastic. The problem with the property is that you almost need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get there.

A nice place to stay but...

We (wife and I and 17 yo grandson) enjoyed our week stay at the Orr house. Everything was as advertised. Especially nice was the access to the river for fishing, tubing, wading, swimming, etc. The drive from the main road was challenging especially the last half mile; you had to pay attention but my wife and her passenger car had no real problem. Even in my 4 wheel drive truck you had to be alert to road conditions and oncoming traffic. Overall not a problem. Of concern was a neighbor's small overly friendly dog. It would come around whether you wanted it to or not. If you like dogs like we do it is hard not to pet or befriend a friendly dog. But it was hard to get the dog to leave. But the big complaint is that the dog would do its business on the gravel pad where we parked our cars. Every morning we had to be on the lookout particularly after stepping in the do-do. So every morning we were picking up the poop before we walked in it. The next door neighbor who I was told was the daughter of the cabin owner and in charge of our rental said you could only get the dog owner to do so much. No matter how much you love dogs you do not love cleaning up another persons dog mess. It is otherwise a nice rental but it is too bad the dog cant be controlled.

Perfect riverside stay

This was an adorable property close to town! Fair warning, the drive out looks daunting but isn't bad after the first time. No wifi but lots of movies and tv options.

Too cold for comfort

The cabin was nice. The heating unit would not heat well so we only stayed one of the 3 nights we booked. Also, the long trail getting to the cabin was hazardous which was NOT mentioned in the ad. In fact there is a sign posted at the beginning of the driveway that says “enter at your own risk”.
