The cabin was so comfy and extremely clean. Appreciated the well stocked kitchen. Made cooking all of our meals so easy. Host was very communicative and great to work with. We had a great stay. Hiking in the area was very good, too.

Fantastic!
The location is so convenient as it’s maybe just 15 minutes or so from Desoto State Park. The lodging itself is super comfy and the ascetics are great!
Great for an anniversary getaway. The cabin had everything we needed, except for the broken/missing hot tub.

Perfect for a quiet romantic time
We rented A Little River Romance for our first anniversary. What a cozy cabin along a fork of little river. It’s perfect for two people. Full kitchen and king sized comfy bed that makes you sleep late. We enjoyed the hot tub and the back porch. You have river access and a dock but it needs a ladder so you can have easy access in and out of the river. Suggestion, bring a hair dryer, bring some groceries and some champagne.

My stay
Out stay was ok. Was looking forward to relaxing in the hot tub, which didn’t work. Also the plug in for the coffee didn’t work. Every time we made coffee we had to move the coffee pot to another plug in. One recommendation would be to make the hot tub more privately. Other then those things our stay was goood
We couldn't figure out the fireplace and the Wi-Fi code is wrong but we found the code on the back of the router to use for the television finally. Never did figure out the fireplace which was one of the reason we booked it and we did ask for help but there was no response except for to refer to the manual which was no manual for the fireplace

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I understand how frustrating it was to have trouble with both the Wi-Fi information and the fireplace, especially since the fireplace was an important part of your decision to book. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will make sure the Wi-Fi details, fireplace instructions, and support process are reviewed so they’re clearer and more helpful for future guests.
