At The River — Secluded Cabin with Private River Access

At The River — Secluded Cabin with Private River Access

8/10 Good
"What a gem! This cabin was pretty special. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the river (even went for a dip in the river)! The whole area is beautiful and nice to explore. Visited some beautiful nearby lakes for a swim as well. The cabin is cozy and has pretty much everything you'll need. We also loved the Wash House. It was very clean and well kept. Shower was great!! Even though this is a new listing, we could tell that the owners take a lot of pride in their cabin and making guests stay as comfortable as possible. They continue to tweak and improve amenities to build on the guest experience. We will be back!!! Thank you Christiane and Bali."
