Melbourne Home w/ Fire Pit on the White River!

Quiet Relaxation on the White

We love canoeing, fishing, swimming, and enjoying the White River. Previous visits have been in more populated areas and this camp was a great change. Very clean and comfortable but most importantly very quiet. Would recommend to anyone interested in getting just a little off the beaten path

Slice of heaven

It was secluded, quiet, beatiful with wonderful views of Gods creation. From the humming birds to the wild black berries on the side of the road on the way back to the cabin. There was an abundance of wild life to enjoy, wish we had more time to spend there.

Very secluded and peaceful. Great host. Everything was according to what was said . Just a heads up 20 miles is probably an hour drive lol. Wasn't expecting that, yet made for fun adventures. Great experience.

Fantastic getaway! Just what we needed. So peaceful. Sat on the balcony overlooking the White River for hours. Rented a boat from Angler's Resort for a few hours and caught beautiful rainbow trout. House has everything you'll need. We will be back!

A Little Piece of Heaven

Our family surely enjoyed staying at this cabin on the White River. It’s so peaceful. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The morning fog rolling across the river was even an enjoyable sight. The wildlife was also an amazing plus. We saw Eagles, deer, coyotes, Canadian geese, and fox. My grandson pitched a tent and slept by the firepit at night. The host was also very welcoming.

Beautiful and Serene Get Away

We could not have been more satisfied with our stay. Very beautiful and peaceful location on the River with numerous opportunities to experience nature and wildlife. The property was clean and immaculately kept, the host was polite and communicative. We enjoyed the fire pit by the river in the evening, watching and listening to the various birds that would pay us a visit, being surprised by whitetail deer that would sneak up on us while fishing and simply taking in the view. There’s plenty to do in the area nearby, hiking, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, cavern tours and more. Overall I couldn’t recommend this property more highly.
