Great to have personal firepit outside the cabin. Nice to have a view of the water, peaceful and quite while not far from activities.

At best this place is mediocre. Dark, dingy and very small. There is no river access from the unit and the alleged dock is a warped piece of wood which is not level and would probably collapse if you stood on it. The bed is old and lumpy and the kitchen is poorly stocked with only a shaker of salt and pepper and antiquated pots and pans. There is no internet and the TV gets 3 stations. Stay here only if you can’t find a better place,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear your stay didn't meet your expectations. We'd like to clarify that there is a dock on the property. If you had explored the property a little more, you would have found it. We understand that it may not have been immediately obvious, and we'll look at ways to make it easier for future guests to locate. We also appreciate your comments regarding the bed, kitchen supplies, and overall condition of the cabin. Guest feedback helps us identify areas where we can improve, and we'll take your suggestions into consideration. Our listing is intended to accurately represent a simple, rustic river getaway, as listed no WI-fi but we're sorry it wasn't the experience you were hoping for. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

The property and cabin were very clean and well kept! It made for a perfect home base for day trips to falls and lighthouses.

Great location right on the river. Plenty of fish and crystal clear water perfect for a swim. It was peaceful and cozy. Kayak rentals on site were a highlight of our trip. We could have spent our whole vacation out on the river. The property is close to so many great places to visit. We will be coming back as soon as possible.

The outside was very relaxing, serene. The inside looked nice, a little dark and it had an odor and mouse droppings in cupboards and dresser which turned me off. We left a day early

Perfect location over looking river

We loved our stay at this cabin for a girls getaway. The cabin is right on the river and is so peaceful and quiet. The outdoor space is amazing with plenty of room for a hammock, sitting by the fire and over looking the river. We even saw the northern lights during our stay! The location is perfect within the small town of Au Train, very close to the lake, waterfalls, hiking and kayaking. The space was great for the two of us. The owners are very helpful and responsive during our stay. We will absolutely stay here again!
