Excellent location. Aerial tram and downtown were within short walking distance. Beautiful cabin and great host. Bed was comfortable. The sound of the river across the street was wonderful. We did miss having a table for eating and game playing, but otherwise perfect.

We really enjoyed our stay, and Cheryl and Rick were excellent hosts! Rick took some time to share with us his knowledge of fly fishing, which led us to book a guided fly fishing tour in town, and we had a great time!
