Host was excellent. Location excellent. Ambience excellent, wonderful stay. The only critique would be to have the cleaners get the cobwebs off the ceiling and all light fixtures. Otherwise, absolutely awesome.

Awesome vintage cabin on the river

This is a really cool property with a great view of the river nearby. Huge fireplace with tons of firewood, interior decor is definitely vintage, but I think charming now. I would definitely stay here again!
