We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin. I’m very picky about cleanliness, and this cabin was five stars! Brad was a phenomenal host, and they thought of absolutely everything to make the stay enjoyable. having the ability to trout fish in the backyard was really special. we all agreed that we wish we could’ve stayed longer, and we definitely plan to go back!

This is truly a wonderful cabin. The home is gorgeous and so thoughtfully designed. The layout cannot be beat for a large family or group. We enjoyed the beautiful fireplaces both inside and out, the hot tub and game room. But the best part was being able to walk straight out to the beautiful river. We brought out kayaks and fishing poles and had a glorious time. The Alexa's for music, well stocked kitchen and coffee pots in the bedrooms made for a truly relaxing and convenient getaway. I cannot gush enough about this amazing place! And I must mention how wonderful Brad was to work with. Very attentive and helpful. Thank you so much!

This is an amazing property that has everything you will need for your stay. We didn’t have the best weather for fishing, but still enjoyed the very peaceful river. The owner is very helpful and responds quickly to your questions. We liked it so much that we are planning on coming back next year.

Our family ranging from 65yo - 4yo all thoroughly enjoyed themselves at this Elestay! This house was perfect! The owner has a quick response time for any questions and provided a DELICIOUS apple pie that we immediately baked and ate. He has a service that mails you lost items which saved us a ton of time and money for the valuable items that we left. The home is huge but still feels homey. We are already discussing when to book again. You may need more than a weekend to fully enjoy everything it has to offer.

This house was great and Brad had everything on hand that you could need. Little things like extra paper towels, dish soap, coffee, etc. made the stay very convenient. Our family really enjoyed the wildlife. We caught fish in the creek and saw otters. But, we also had many deer come to visit throughout our stay and saw tons throughout the neighborhood. Overall it was a great vacation.

By far the best house I have rented on VRBO. Brad is the most organized owner that I have encountered. Everything was clean, organized, directions for everything, and a most beautiful spot on the river. He responds immediately when contacted. The house was beyond our expectations.

This was easily the best VRBO we have rented. The property was beautiful and the pictures really don't do the riverfront justice. The house was well stocked with necessities and the owner has clearly put a lot of time into their handbook and website which made the entire interaction feel very professional compared to many rentals. The owner was also very responsive throughout the trip, and even had an apple pie waiting on us! Would definitely return.

This cabin was amazing! Has everything ready for your stay. Veey clean and everything is up to date. Location is perfect next to a beautiful clean creek with plenty of trout to see. There is an automatic fish feeder on the creek that goes off couple of times a day where you can see plenty of trout. We’ve been to a lot cabins and by far this was our favorite spot. The owner is very nice and communication was great. We are definitely going back in the summer time.

Brad is an amazing Host. The house was great, right on the river. Being able to hear the river from the house made it even more relaxing. Great access for fishing, great outdoor areas for hanging out, great kitchen with an amazing view. Amazing spot for watching the sun set and the moon rise. Definitely keeping this spot on the list for possible future trips.
We didn’t bring our kids but had we the house is very nicely stocked and set up for hosting guests with children as well.

If I could give 6 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the tranquil location to the well thought out details, this home had it all! When we arrived we were greeted by a local apple pie as a gift from the owners. From there, all of the details were noted; keurigs and hair dryers in every room/bathroom, a fully stocked kitchen with all of the amenities you could need, plenty of plates, bowls and glassware for 8 people. The best part of our stay involved our daily enjoyment of the river. We jumped in and floated every day. The location was great as it was secluded and away from the hustle and bustle. However, if you want to run into downtown or to the local Wal-mart, it’s a quick 15 minute drive. The owner, Brad, has created an incredible manual that literally notes everything, including suggested things to do in the local area. He was also quick to respond within 5-10 minutes for anything pre, during or post trip!
Overall, this is a fantastic property and we hope to stay here again!

We had a great time. The house was great to stay and peaceful for all. We caught trout and bass right from the stream the house sits on. I would highly recommend the cabin to others. The mountain bike trails weren’t too far and were also great. Thank you for our stay!

We had a great time staying at the Grande Lodge! The location right on the river was the best part, and even though it was cold, our kids loved being able to fish right off the dock. The community is also great with lots of activities for kids. The house was clean and very well stocked with extras and things that you dont typically find in other rentals (like flashlights in the bedrooms). The owners have truly thought of everything and were very responsive throughout the stay when questions arose. We'd absolutely stay here again!

Such a wonderful stay for our daughter’s senior year Fall break trip. We were able to go with grandparents as well and this home was just perfect. Brad really provided such a well crafted home and experience. The river access is absolutely amazing! We’ve rented quite a few properties in either the mountains or the beach and this one takes the cake. Thank you and we will definitely be back!

We spent 4 days at this cabin and we could not chose better. It is equiped with everything you need to have a great time In the woods. The river with is tranquil sound was the cherry on the top. If you want to spend a good time away from the stress of your daily life this is the place to be.
