The property was perfect!! We arrived late at night and it was a bit difficult to find, once through the gate. But the place was great! Hot Tub worked great! Beautiful location. There were other homes closer than what appeared in the aerial view, while booking. But they are far enough away that you have zero interaction! There were deer all over the property and the river was too far to get to! Place was clean and very comfortable! Perfect stay!
Property was clean, decorated well, and nothing was left out. We planned to go to the grocery store when we got there, but realized there was not one close by. So we were happy the cupboard was already stocked with things. The next morning, we picked up what we needed at the Dollar General and Country Store next door (they had the veggies). If you aren’t wanting to be next to other campers, this is perfect. We wanted seclusion. We were not able to get the wifi to work, so no tv. But who needs tv? We enjoyed our stay and would stay again!
Very quiet and secluded. The cabin is set up very nicely and the beds are comfortable. There are deer and fireflies all over the pasture in the evening and the views are spectacular.The patio was a bit disheveled and the fan did not work, but overall I didn’t mind that much. We did meet a very sweet and playful dog one evening, which I enjoyed, but people who are afraid of dogs might have trouble with it. I plan to stay here again when it’s cooler outside.
The property is nice and the home is a cute western theme. The river is just a short walk from the home. It is very remote and quiet. We had a visit from a neighboring pitbull. He was a sweetie and played with the 15 year old in our group.
Highly recommend this cabin and the Beavers Bend area for Thanksgiving with family!

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
A bit diappointed. Misleading. Inside cabin was clean except for the screened front porch. Unuseable. To much clutter. Hot tub needs to be on a deck and more accessable. It was more of a deer camp atmosphere instead of a vacation rental. Bottom of fire pit rusted out. Propane bottles for grill were empty. Don't get me wrong, the inside of the cabin was nice and clean but the rest took away from it. Needs to be updated and maintained. Just expected more. Easy access to the river
The facility was nice and relaxing. Amenities were accurate to the description. The hot tub and firepit were nice amenities. The check-in process was a little frustrating due to lack of communication about entry gate and code. Make sure to save all check-in data as cellular service is limited.
We came to be alone, and that is what we got. The road in was rough but manageable for sure. The cabin was exactly as listed. Listening to the nearby river plus stargazing was glorious. Rustic but relaxing. Thanks for a great place to unwind.
Beautifully decorated two bedroom cabin where we enjoyed true rest and relaxation. There were kayaks, fishing gear, many other outdoor amenities available but the quiet beauty and rest were just what we needed.
Quite peaceful place, we had everything we needed. Unfortunately I may have left the wrong key to the cabin. Please let me know if I need to mail the key back.
The cabin was very well maintained. Some grocery items were available for use if you needed them. Cabin was very clean. If you’re looking for privacy or seclusion, this is the place. One neighbor who never bothered us, very rarely saw her. Wish it had internet, but other than that, everything was great. The manager was very helpful and quick to reply if we had questions.
My husband and I spent Thanksgiving here. We loved how quiet it was and that we were able to relax. The cabin is cute and cozy! However I do feel it’s false advertising. The kayaks are locked up and we were told they are for the owners use, the picnic area did have some beautiful sites but the brush is so over grown it was hard to see and made it unable to fish. When we first arrived we had to do some clean up of our own cause there was trash all over the screened in porch and old food left open in the fridge. Once we cleaned up we did really enjoy our stay. The hot tub was a nice way to end our evening’s!
We were very happy with the whole property, house, and definately being able to go fishing. It was so relaxing & enjoyable there. The firepit, swing , and hotub was really nice. We took the kayaks out everyday and enjoyed the river. The owners of the property are great people to deal with. The beauty & peace i got to have every morning on the front porch with my coffee was priceless. It was also nice having some stores & gas station few miles away for extras & dishing supplies. It was what we nicknamed a lil piece of heaven, and we didnt feel like we had to go anywhere else to enjoy ourselves, it was enough.
Owner was coming back to even add a screened in porch with bunkbeds. There are 2 separate nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Washer & dryer in the main bedroom was nice to have. Loved the martin dining table as well. We just cant say enough about this place, and will definitely be going back again this fall!
Ps
Gave 2 stars because didnt kniw if property mgr was someone other than the owners. If its the iwners it would be a 5.
Our stay was great! Very clean and had plenty of room for our kids to run. The fire pit was great for making smores and cooking supper. Best part was the fire wood already being available for us!
Roomy cabin with excellent décor. Fantastic air conditioning. Loved the hot tub and the fire pit. Got many pictures of birds and butterflies at the river access. Great stay!
