My friend group is large and has managed to stay together for a long time and we always have a blast when we come out to this cabin. Its usually 15 plus of us, and there's always plenty of sleeping room. This year was our third trip out to cabin, and its been just as amazing as the first two. A nice grill to cook on, plenty of beautiful views and the wonderful roar of the river. Its always awesome

Celebrated two high school graduates with 16 people, and our 8 grandkids had a blast in the water. Some of the float vessels had small leaks, so be sure to check things out in the shallow before heading down river. The space was phenomenal for our large group; plenty of space to get away from “too much peopling”, while there were lots of play options. The upholstery is in need of replacement, but mattresses we’re comfortable and provided a nice rest

The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. Communication with host was great. We didnt give 5 stars becayse the couches were relatively old and worn and there was an accumulation of visible dust on the celing fans. The location was as pictured, with the river sounds nicely adding to good sleep! Overall the space was goid andcwe especialky lijed the open connections between kitchen, dining and den areas.
We were here for a women's emotional healing weejend!
