Absolutely AWESOME place to stay. The house is clean and the property is amazing. We walked up and down the river fishing with our family and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The waterfalls are a must see! We will definitely be coming back!

Very nice stay ! Perfect for the fly fishing enthusiast. Although temps were stillVery warm at the time we stayed (mid September), the area was beautiful to hike and fish. Stream temps were stillToo warm to support good trout numbers but I imagine after October it is very good fishing in many of the streams, all in close proximity to Sweet Water. Place was great ! Looking forward to future stays for sure !!

Great pet-friendly property. Lots of things to see/do on property, as well as nearby (30-40 mins in the mountains is close). Property is secluded. Looking for a return visit. Hosts were amazing too.

Well stocked with towels and kitchen things like herbs and spices! House was very cute and wifi was great.Just FYI, nothing to do with the house but the ticks are terrible this year! (Daily we found them crawling on us) Bring spray if you’re planning to spend time on trails or fishing! Would absolutely recommend this property!

This property is absolutely unique and amazing. We have not found anything even close. Would highly recommend this to anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to feel like they are away from it all. The property is clean, well maintained, and a joy to be at. We have enjoyed staying here on five separate occasions. Looking forward to next year as we make new memories every time. Owners have done an excellent job keeping up on maintaining and upgrading the property every year.

Stunning Location

My husband and I had the most relaxing time at the cabin. The location is just amazing, peaceful, the river on your doorstep, where my husband enjoyed many hours of fly fishing, walks to waterfalls and surrounded by wildlife. The cabin is so comfortable, and has everything you need for a great stay. We will be returning.

What a wonderful place to call home for a week. This was the perfect place to hike and listen to birds and look at stars and fireflies. Short distance from beautiful lakes and of course waterfalls! So grateful to have experienced this with my family!

When its 5 stars take any criticism with that in mind. Glad it wasnt hot because couldnt get the air to work. And the lighting could be better. But who wants to stay inside the very comfortable nice house when you have the beautiful grounds. Was a great stay
