We LOVED this place!!! We had a great fishing in the stream behind the house and sitting out on the porch all day. This is the best place to stay if you want to get away from everything. Can’t wait to come back for another week getaway!!

Dreamy location, the place is right up to a roaring mountain river, with lots of decks and viewing spots. So relaxing to sit and hear and watch the water and forest. The property is awesome, with plenty of room for a group and full kitchen area. Listing is very accurate. We only stayed one night, but will be back for more. We recovered there from a 3 day hike and the hot tub and scenic views was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a get a way spot.

This place was beautiful . I absolutely loved it. The only thing is the gravel road 1 mile before the cabin… we went to ride the tail and this was alittle tough on the bikes… the directions to the tail from the house had us go to Joyce Kilmer road but this road was real rough, like a gravel concrete road… so we took the bikes to the main road and back to the tail… it was off path and longer but actually the ride was nice…just as windy, no traffic, and beautiful… the hot tub only reached 99, which was good and satisfying but if your looking to sit in it in a real cold night it might not be. Other than that I loved it

Thanks for your review and we are glad you loved your stay! The hot tub should go above 99, it goes to 103 so we will definitely address that. Thanks for letting us know!

I love speaking with people from all over, helping them figure out if our property would be a good fit for their vacation needs.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I have been coming to W. Buffalo since 2011. We immediately fell in love with the people and area. The peace this house brings sitting outside listening to the water while our kids play in it is like no other. We hope this house brings others the same peace we feel when they visit

What makes this property unique

Best outdoor space you can find. The interior also offers great areas for people to entertain others and all be together
