A memorable vacation away from it all awaits at this unique cabin in the woods! Surrounded by serene foliage, beautiful property, and the winding river, there will be no delay in getting some much-needed rest and rejuvenation. Wake up each morning and enjoy a fresh cup of coffee on the wrap-around patio as you plan a full day of fun for the whole gang. Come summer, the private pool will be the hub for lounging in the sun and taking a dip in the refreshing water. When evenings come to a close, the fun won't stop, as the stunning brick fireplace will create a cozy ambiance for all to enjoy as the chef of the group whips up something tasty in the fully equipped kitchen. Don't worry about having to leave the furry member of the family at home because this getaway is dog-friendly!
What's nearby: Sitting in the wonderful community of Trinity Village, you will have the perfect combination of seclusion while having a plethora of activities right at your fingertips. Trinity River runs right by the property, so fishing, taking a quick dip, or simply watching the water flow by will be a breeze. When you want to venture out a bit, you can easily head out to Willow Creek (11 miles) and grab a bite to eat from Bigfoot Steakhouse or a coffee from Espresso & More.

Merryman Cabin was a delight. Very comfortable and lots to see and do near by. We were so busy exploring the river I just wish I had more time to stay in the cabin. I absolutely hope to get the chance to stay again. Thank you for hosting such a beautiful place

Merryman Cabin was fantastic
This a great place to stay with friends or family for the weekend. The design of the house and backyard are perfect for entertaining. Very clean and had everything we needed. The decorating was great inside.
The cabin is a hidden gem. The pool was clean and refreshing. There were many deer around the cabin that visited daily. The entire family truly enjoyed our stay.
Nice little place with a great pool and river access
Nice little getaway spent the day by the pool and fishing most of the time. Would definitely come back.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Check-in, communication
The main thing is that it was not ready for us to check in. The code was wrong. I had to call several times as the code was wrong and also delivered late. This is the second time this has happened with a Vacasa booking. Highly disappointed.

River/Pool worth the lack of near by conveniences-
Private River Beach was a huge hit, pool lovely and refreshing.
This home is a gem. Beautiful furnishings and comfortable. By far one of the nicest rentals I’ve ever stayed in! And amazingly affordable! I’ll return as soon as I can. Wonderful stay
Clean, cozy and comfortable. Off the beaten path but worth the drive!

Great get away
This is a great house to sharing with family and friends. It has a great kitchen and plenty of indoor and outdoor dining. We had a fun time in the pool and the river was pretty close too. I would recommend this house to others.
We loved our stay at this house! It was a little hard to find in the dark since there's no address posted, but other than that everything was wonderful! We're looking forward to staying again next summer when we come back 😊

Family Retreat
The house is beautiful. Love the location and access to the river. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfortable.The only downside is that the pool vacuum was full and not functioning. Unfortunately without good cell service we could only communicate via text messages with an AI representative. No one ever came out to help us clear the pool debris.

This was a great house! Very private at the end of the road!
This house was perfect for our work related trip to the Willow Creek area. The pool looked amazing and I hope to come back in the summer and enjoy it. The house was very clean the kitchen was very well stocked with anything you need to make large or small meals. Fun fact, they haveA gorgeous Hamilton Beach Milkshake Machine that makes three or four milkshakes at a time. Be sure and stop at the Salyer store and grab some ice cream on your way in :) We hope to come back!
Lovely home with spacious rooms and big pool/backyard! Bring your own board games and cooking supplies. Board games aren’t super kid friendly and we love to cook so not having a good blender and coffee brewer made us rate the house a 4 star!

Thank you for your review, Ahide. We hope you had a wonderful stay with us. We apologize for the inconvenience that you experienced during your stay with us because of not having a good blender and coffee brewer in the home. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention as there is room to improve our home. We have passed this along to our local team for them to work with so that future guests will have a truly relaxing and exceptional stay. We hope to have the opportunity to impress you in the future better!
Enjoyed the house. Unique design and lay-out. Clean with comfortable beds. Pool is not heated, so a bit of a woo-wooer when you jump in. The access to the river is by car and not within walking distance. Nice neighborhood. Quiet. The air conditioning is not good. It was VERY hot in the house and while this was disclosed, it was uncomfortable, even with fans on. Over-all, the house, the lot and location was very nice. Other than the air conditioning issue, we enjoyed our four day stay. Very relaxing. Our pooch enjoyed it too. Loved the walks and the deer visiting each morning and evening.
Very clean and beautiful structure. The pictures on the site make you think you will have a river view and maybe even be able to walk out to the river. That is not real. It’s a short hike or a drive to the river. Not a huge deal but we were a bit surprised.
The fireplace smokes up the entire home. We turned off the the heat and it still did it. Fireplace is beautiful and heated the room but smoke was everywhere!!!
Other than that, I would stay there again!
House very clean and would have been comfortable but it was 108 ! We spent most of time in the pool which was great lots of pool toys Have to come back when it’s a little cooler.
