October Trip
The cabin was good size for a couple such as we are. Some things that we missed were an operating front porch light, kitchen dish towel, dish pan, and broom. Parking was awkward. Access road to cabin was very narrow. It was not fun having to back up to let other traffic in. Upon arrival the WIFI did not function until the following day after messaging and calling.

Not in Kansas anymore
Thrilled when we walked into the cabin. A very rustic feel which we love. Location was peaceful and quiet. Have no complaints. Only disappointed when we went to grill steaks and the tanks were empty. A lovely stay, just not long enough!

The bed and bedding were five star hotel quality. Not a ton of curb appeal, but when you open the door it's so spacious and nice inside. Everything was exceptionally clean and seemed new. The deck looks down on Little River at the farthest edge of Townsend next to the national park. The hill is too steep to get down to the creek. You drive through Little Arrow Outdoor Resort campground to reach the cabin. The campground looked high end and was really cute. We saw a huge bear roaming through the campground on our way to the cabin at dusk one night. The management company advised that we had to bring our own propane tank for the grill, which I thought was ridiculous, but when we arrived there were two propane tanks left behind by other people. It was a great place to stay in an amazing location and I wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

Great location!
We loved the location and river view and sound of the water and birds. We got to watch a black bear from the balcony one evening - a thrill for us. Cabin was great. Only improvements would be the outdoor grill be cleaned between guests and propane be made available. We were able to get a small amount of propane (partial fill of empty tank) from the local KOA.
