We had a great stay! The cabin has a beautiful location right by the lake and offers plenty of privacy. It was clean, and communication was good. The only minor inconvenience was that the bridge, which is the only way to access the cabin, was closed for an entire day during our stay. We received only one day’s notice, and the property manager wasn’t aware of the closure either, but we managed just fine. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cabin!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the lakeside setting and privacy. We’re sorry about the bridge closure. We were caught off guard too, and we’re working on staying better informed so future guests get more notice. Thanks for rolling with it so gracefully, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Hideaway River Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the river location. The cabin itself is need of a thorough cleaning and a slight facelift. Even new doormats would help.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 October 2026
Linda, Thank you for your recent feedback. We appreciate your comments that the river proximity is really the charm of this cabin. It is a bit of an older location as advertised. We strive to ensure the photographs match the presentation for the home. We have contacted our housekeeping team, who regularly performs deep cleaning on the property twice a year, to coordinate this fall's deep clean Thank you for staying with VRC and for sharing your feedback with us. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again for a perfect experience next time. Warm regards, -Holly

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The location on the river was beautiful. The kitchen appliances were aged and the downstairs bath is in need of remodel. The living room was comfortable but covered in dust. I would recommend having an information booklet giving instructions on what to do with trash, towels and miscellaneous information about the place. We had a rodent chewing on the dryer vent at 2am trying to get into the house. We have stayed at many vacation rentals and felt this one was overpriced for the condition of the property.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and we’re glad the river setting made for a beautiful backdrop to your stay. We’re truly sorry the rest didn’t meet your expectations, especially that 2am wake-up call. Our team has already scheduled a pest inspection and is sealing up the dryer vent area. We’ve also addressed the dusting with our cleaning crew and passed your notes on the kitchen and downstairs bath along to the owner. Your house guide suggestion is a great one, and even though it's sent digitally in the guest portal, we can certainly look into adding it as a binder into the home. We appreciate your honesty and hope you’ll give us another chance to show you the stay you deserve.
