Waterfront Cabin with Hot Tub! Free Kayaks & Canoes, Fishing Boats, & Bicycles!

Small waterfront 1-bed private cabin with a view of an undeveloped state-owned island. It is about the size of an extended-stay hotel room. There is a double-sized bed and a pull-out sofa bed that will accommodate 2 children.

There is a small kitchen area and a bathroom with a shower. There is a Smart TV with both WIFI and cable.

Everything you'll need is included - linens, bedding, silverware, dishes, pots, pans, cooking utensils, hand soap, paper towels, bathroom tissue, and hand towels.

There is a Circle K gas station with all the necessities that is open 24/7 just 2 1/2 miles away. There is a large Kroger grocery store about 5 miles from the cabin that is open until 10 pm.

Enjoy the free use of our kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, and fishing boats, to navigate between the beautiful islands across from your cabin. While the river is usually no higher than waist deep, life vests for both adults and children are provided and required by law.

There is a 12-mile-long hiking and biking trail that abuts our property and runs through the woods along the river. We have complimentary bikes of every size.

My husband and I purchased the 12 cabins that are "Riverwood Log Cabins" in 1998 and live midway through the property in the brown "A" frame should you need anything.

We even supply wood for your first campfire!

Well-behaved pets are always welcome at no extra charge but, must be on a leash when outside when other pets are present. Smoking is permitted outside.

Thanks

Spring getaway
The hosts were amazing! Our pup Ryder was right at home. Parker shared great stories and allowed us to see some of the highlights of the camp. We had a great fire and the hot tub was perfect! We will be back.

Cabin by the River
We enjoyed our weekend getaway by the river. Very peaceful sitting on the porch and watching the river and fell in love with kayaking on the Maumee! We miss it.

Nice weekend get away
It was a very nice and unique trip. Just myself, my husband and our two dogs. The cabin is perfect for 2 people. The view is amazing and you're literally right next to the river. The hot tub was wonderful, with the river in the background. Plenty of kayaks, but we utilized the paddle boat the most. The owners are extremely friendly, pleasant and truly care if you are enjoying your stay or not. There were two downfalls. 1. The water (well) is horribly stinky. We bought a few gallons to do dishes in and beush our teeth. 2. The neighboring cabin had a very large and very vocal dog. We could barely let our dogs to enjoy the outdoors because their dog was out alot and would not quit barking. All dogs bark and I get it but my dogs were there and they didnt bark. We were woken up Saturday and Sunday both at 630 to it barking. Made it hard to enjoy our hot tub and coffee in the morning. This was in no way the Parker and Cathys fault (owners of cabin). I just wish others were more respectful with their animals.

Nothing short of amazing
This property is right on the water. The beautiful river is right in front of you. The accommodations are clean and creatively arranged. There's free kayaks and canoes. The host bends over backwards to help you.

Family & Pet Friendly w/Plenty to Do
The host was delightful. Our dogs loved being able to run and play. My adult daughter and teen son loved the kayaking. There was a hiking trail for nice walking. Lots of attention to detail by the host for our enjoyment, as well as quaint and welcoming furnishings. We will be back with a youth group soon.

Perfect!
This place was really amazing! The cabin is a little small but was perfect for us. We only stayed one night but want to head back soon to stay longer! We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit and using the hot tub.
