Great little cabin for a quick getaway to float the river! Wasn’t sure what to expect with a separate bathroom area but it wasn’t bad at all. Hosts were great and informative!

Absolutely loved my time there. My fiancé and I wanted a quick getaway from kids and work. We stayed for 2 nights, the first night we saw they had corn hole and and we couldn’t find any beanbags for it. So I had messaged the host and they said there were none for this property. The next day a gentleman brought us some bean bags. Very clean place and bathroom is big and very clean. There were deer in the morning and at night. Very quiet place. The river isnt a far walk at all and they have a cute little bench. Very romantic down by the river at night. Would highly recommend!

A cute getaway

What a wonderfully cute tiny house near the lake. It was cozy and I enjoyed myself. The beds were comfy, the lake was cool and refreshing. The bathroom is just steps away from the house but very spacious. The balcony is nice to enjoy a cup of coffee and just listen to the birds sing. It was a wonderful getaway, even if for a day.

Great little getaway!

Such a great little retreat! The cabin was very comfortable and had most modern conveniences. I was a little concerned about the bathroom/shower being located outside, but it’s literally a couple of steps from the porch to the very private and lockable bathroom available to only the occupants of the cabin. We loved using the fire pit and sitting on the porch. There’s a short walk down to the river, and the view is stunning. We truly enjoyed our off season time at the cabin. Just a tip - the owner is NOT located at the house in front of the cabin, although the resident there was very helpful. The owner was readily and easy available by phone and very responsive.
