Birthday getaway

It was exactly what I was looking for, for my birthday and we took our german shepherd and he loved it. The river is right there and I went in November and the weather was perfect for fall.

Great spot for a short stay

Was able to rest our head for the night after 15 hours on the road during our move. The animals loved it as did we. Great for an overnight getaway for peace and quiet! We really enjoyed it.

Weekend Getaway

It was a quick weekend get away and the property was secluded and quiet. It had everything we needed, properly stocked, and a great location for a fall getaway. The property was clean and the check in and check out process was very simple. We would go back if we are in the area again. Thank You Kaleob !!!

Awesome little cabin with lots of history

It was so relaxing and I am so glad that the owners kept it as a old cabin and didn't try to modernize it!!! It perfect the way it is!!

Perfect Getaway

We had a great time exploring the area. The kids had fun kayaking. I was able to position my chair in the rocks in the river and read my book. My husband had fun fishing. He didn’t catch anything but fun was had. The cabin was perfect for us. The kids loved the loft and the cool doors. Just what we needed.

Cute Cabin

We stayed at this cute glamping cabin. The view is so beautiful. It was really peaceful until Woody the Woodpecker and friends showed up at 7am. Lol The bed was comfortable. The cabin has everything you need. Fishing was fun and relaxing. The cabin is a close distance to restaurants and shops. We had a great dinner at Cahoots. I highly recommend it. Thanks for sharing your cabin.

Unique Property!

It was fun to take my teens to this unique cabin. We did use the kayaks and tried to paddle upstream but the river was flowing pretty quick and although we are in shape it was exhausting so turned around after ~30m. The cabin had an air freshener in it that made my eyes & throat irritated so once I located it, I placed it out on the porch.

Quiet break from a chaotic life

Part camping, part resort. The cabin comes with a rich history that the host was good enough to share with us, which made our stay more enjoyable. It's definitely rustic, but had modern improvements such as electricity, hot and cold running water, heat and AC, and premium streaming television. Lots of outdoorsy, campy things to do with canoes and kayaks, fishing, hiking, and exploring. It was the perfect getaway for my wife and I from the chaos of caring for a couple elderly family members, frequent care of grandchildren, and no less than 5 dogs. This was long overdue for us, and we'll definitely plan another trip to this property in the future! Communication issues with the property manager was not their fault. The VRBO site error when I tried to log in or change my password, so I ended up using a second account to communicate with them. Just a little inconvenient but it worked.

Like a hobbit oasis!

The pictures do not do this place justice! The fireplace is just gorgeous. The location is just beautiful. You can hear the waterfall from the deck. There are three cabins that would be perfect for an extended family get together with plenty for all ages to do. Thank you to the owner, who was very understanding and helpful to our family.
