The accommodation were clean and had a down home feeling. The location was quiet and peaceful. The check in was seamless. The kitchen was adequate but we didn't have need for a kitchen this time. Would consider staying there again.

The cabin and property were super clean, quiet, and had everything we needed and more. The owners were very friendly. There’s a nice dock and deck to sit and view the river. Property is close driving distance to grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants and fun area attractions.

Loved this little cabin on the river. I would definitely return. It was so peaceful and grounding. The river was gentle flowing and clear . The loudest sound was the frogs. The cabin was spacious enough with all the amenities. The bed was extremely comfortable and sitting area cozy. Owners are kind and accommodating.

Was a great first time VRBO experience. Area is beautiful, and the owners are very nice and responsive. One thing that kinda turned us off tho was how loud the furnace was. Woke up fairly often bc of it. But overall was a lot of fun and would recommend.

Above and beyond!

This property was absolutely beautiful. We first saw swans, geese, and ducks right out our window. Then we saw multiple deer and even a river otter! Eric (and his dog Nora) was the best host- we locked ourselves out at 4am taking the dogs out and he was already up and more than happy to help us. Highly recommend!

Just as advertised.

Just one suggestion for the owner to put a shade on the window that is just above the pillow of the bed. Not really a complaint but most people would appreciate it when they are sleeping. thanks.

Quit and off the grid

I was in town for the weekend in between some independent contracting jobs. The cabins meet all the basic needs, are quiet, and come with the hosts sweet dogs to say hello.

About the host

I grew up outside of Elk River. I am an avid outdoorsman. I spend my free time with loved ones, my dog, hunting, fishing and snowmobiling. I live on the property with my fiancée and step son.

What makes this property unique

The slow, easy-flowing river is amazing and is a relaxing feature, but also so much fun to get into and enjoy.
