Fantastic Location

This house was perfectly located with a quiet setting and view. We were in town for a surprise party and had our friends and family over the next day to enjoy the location. We will definitely book again.

A little place to find some peace

Came out with my teenage kids. The house is well stocked with everything you need to cook, a nice blackstone and grill. Place was clean and inviting. There are oils and nice shampoos and conditioners. Just an overall good stay.

Winter Get Away

We loved the cabin. Kitchen was well equiped for all of our cooking needs. The location by the river was gorgeous. We were there during a weekend snow storm...absolutely stunning ! We did have a couple hickups the first evening, but the hosts responded quickly to resolve the issue. All in all....a perfect weekend ! Looking forward to visiting this cabin again !

Great, quiet space to get away

Our group of four friends from college met up here for our annual weekend together. The setup was great for us with the cozy living area and private outdoor space. The kitchen had everything we needed and we were so appreciative of the bottle of wine the host left for us. We will certainly consider staying here again in future years!

Family Weekend

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin on the river. We had a few hiccups at the start but the owner was very helpful and responsive. We enjoyed the loft area for the kids and the beautiful stone fireplace. The sauna was a nice feature as well. We used the blackstone outside to grill on and enjoyed walks in the area. Just a note the bedrooms upstairs are heated with space heaters. They are plenty warm but good to know. As noted, there is an exposed floor which is concrete with pebble stones. If you have a crawling baby or toddler not steady on their feet it is not ideal and can hurt. Otherwise a great place to stay with friends or family!

Great place to relax

Had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cabin while visiting family in Royalton. The cabin is gorgeous and the grounds are lush and well kept. We had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our time, even a Blackstone on the patio. The property is close enough to everything you need but still very private. We would definitely stay again and recommend the property to anyone who enjoys the great outdoors!

Best, relaxing holiday stay!

We picked this property for its central location. Everyone had about a 2 hour drive. The kitchen is well stocked with crockpot, toaster, waffle maker, blender, mixer, air fryer. There is not a dishwasher, but I think the best conversations happen when washing and drying dishes. We loved the jetted tub and sauna. The central fireplace was nice. The loft living room was well used. There was two days where we never went outside. The view was beautiful and we were visited by many birds. We played games and did puzzles. birdshappe

Peaceful Perfection

The house and property are beautiful, and the hosts are very gracious! Every member of my party was very pleased with the accommodations. If we ever have the need to stay in the area again, this place will be our first choice. My only suggestion for improvement is to provide better lighting inside in the bedrooms and outside by the garage entry door.

Secluded Oasis in the Woods

We really enjoyed our stay here, and would definitely come back. Venue is a beautiful, secluded site, and provided just what we needed this trip-an environment of rest and restoration. Loved the hot tub and sauna. Would recommend adding either blinds or a curtain in the upstairs bathroom for more privacy, even though the window only faces woods. Thanks for all you do to make the guests feel welcome.

The fire pit was awesome! We loved the charcoal and propane grills and also the black stone! The patio was really nice. The lighting in the kitchen could have been better. The bed in the pull out couch upstairs was very poor. Overall, it was a great experience!

Home away from home

This cabin was so beautiful and peaceful! If you are looking for a place to get away that is not a plane ride away, I would highly recommend. The house is fully stocked with everything you need but you will not spend much time indoors. The patio, firepit area, and short walk down the hill to the river was where we spent the majority of our time. The host was also amazing to work with! She was very responsive and accommodating. We are already talking about a return trip in the future. Thank you for the great memories!

Amazing place to stay

This house was perfect for our family and parents to stay and get ready for our son's wedding. The house was very clean and stocked very nicely. The host went above and beyond our expectations to help make sure everything we needed she would help us out if she could. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for a nuce relaxing place. Thanks again Penny we loved it.

River hideaway!

This is a beautiful cabin in the woods right up against the Mississippi river. There is lots of wildlife around and many great views. The host was very easy to communicate with and solved any issues very quickly. We loved our weekend here! The first floor surface is a unique pebble rock in concrete. It is a little odd on the feet at first, so bring thick socks or slippers. The sauna is a wonderful addition. We will be back!
