The cabin was very clean, cozy, and peaceful! So relaxing being by the river. The kids loved kayaking. Loved that the cabin was out of town and had privacy. The host was very friendly and was timely on responses. We had to come down for my uncle's funeral and we realized that our family was from the same area as the host. Thanks again for letting us stay at your beautiful cabin! We plan on staying again in the future!

Cozy cottage on the river. Lovely swing to sit and watch the sun rise. Quiet, but make sure you bring groceries as there is not a store. We had to go about 30 minutes to get food. Only one restaurant in the town.

Tammie, thank you for staying with us! I put an addition to the property description so that future guests may save some time by bringing groceries with them, that is a great suggestion!

Nice place, quiet and nice view to the river. They have lawn chairs, picnic tables and a large cooler in the garage. The grill was pretty small but there is a blackstone. I struggled having enough frying pans for breakfast and did not find a pan to bake brownies but otherwise we did fine. The steps down to the river were a bit hap hazard. My 40 yr old son was the only person in our group to try them out. My grandsons loved the yard and the fire pit was nice.
