My son and I loved hanging out at this place and taking advantage of all the fun things to do Natalie set up. The instructions and book helped us navigate the area and cabin. Only wish we had planned to stay a few more days!
Arrived to find property beautiful and very well kept. The details and amenities are perfect for a secluded get away. My wife and I enjoyed the serenity of the property. Each aspect of the cabin was cozy and welcoming. I would definitely book again for more the 2 nights!
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely AFrame! Our daughter moved nearby- so the location was perfect. River is beautiful. We didn’t have timeTo enjoy the river due to storms and busy with family. Cabin has everything you need to relax!
The cabin is beautiful , clean, well appointed with beautiful amber glassware, very comfy bed, the grounds well kept … lovely woodsy setting by the river… the only thing I’d say is they should communicate that the stairs to the loft are extremely steep so not for everyone. I’d definitely stay there again and probably will! Soon!!
Overall amazing property and the peaceful tranquility set it over the top! The cabin is absolutely precious, generously stocked kitchen with spices, utensils, fresh eggs and honey! The river was low, but thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the waters edge for hours! Everything about this rental was perfect. Hostess with the mostest and we will be back!
