Off season getaway

We were looking for a "close to home" quiet getaway. When we arrived the host (who is super friendly and very accommodating) offered us an upgrade to a nicer cabin with a hot tub. The camp has a fantastic location, being close to restaurants, parks, shopping, entertainment, hiking and biking trails and watersports right out the front door..

Relaxing

If you enjoy a river view this place has that. Small cabin but big enough 2 people. There is another cabin close by but also far enough that you habe privacy. Clean and stocked with what we needed. Will be back.

Nature experiences await

We enjoyed the peaceful quiet of the riverfront property. The stay was what we were hoping for. We wish we could have had more time to enjoy the water activities, hiking and more relaxing. Could have done a little less with all the spiders and cobwebs; however, that made it a true nature experience.

Trip

Site was nice, but exiting the property was hard on my vehicle because there were deep dips in the soil on the path out. Nearly damaged my vehicle. There was no heat in the cabin. It was freezing, so cold we had to leave early. Overall the stay was not worth the money and i would never recommend it. to anybody.
