River Rest cabin, was so restful! Beautiful cabin on the river. Clean and smelled wonderful! Kitchen was stocked with essentials. Our time was spent on the porches taking in the scenery in the sounds. Sarah our host communicated wonderfully about the cabin on how to get there and how to get access entry into the cabin. Hope to return soon!
