Relaxing
My husband and our 2 dogs found the cabin very relaxing. We were able to walk right out to the river & do some fishing. Our dogs had plenty of yard space to venture around. The hot tub was a nice touch at the end of the night. After the traffic calms down from the day, it is very peaceful and all you can hear is the nature. Everything was as described and we enjoyed our stay :)

Awesome place
This cabin is amazing. The scenery is perfect for a getaway. The river being right outside made it a nice view, good fishing, and we did a float right to the cabin. We will definitely stay here again.

Nice cabin
The cabin was really nice, but it was a little hard communicating with the property manager she didn’t always reply back. We couldn’t get the air-conditioning to work and I tried messaging and calling and never got a response back from the property manager. Luckily, there was a bedroom in the basement which was nice and cool for the whole trip other than that the cabin was really nice only other thing is that we never got any check-in information I had to call and figure out what was going on and how to do it . Would still recommend.

Girls getaway
This was a two bedroom cabin with hot tub near the river, to relax and laugh and tell stories. Additional beds in basement and 2nd floor loft. Plenty of couches. Seating for 5 on deck. You may want to bring bag chairs for more than 2 people to sit by the fire. Area is quiet but there is a highway directly across the river. Well equipped for cooking and coffee. Hosts were accommodating with a family emergency that required rescheduling. We had fun!

stay by the river
Easy to find with a nice location. It appears that this location is going to continue to get better and be able to host larger groups. The house offers a bunch of amenities such as a fire pit area, hot tub, and out door seating off the deck. Open concept on the main floor and lots of room in the basement. Overall good experience for our family of 9 (kids, parents, and grandparents) Manager was pretty quick to respond and meet requests.
