The property was perfect!! We arrived late at night and it was a bit difficult to find, once through the gate. But the place was great! Hot Tub worked great! Beautiful location. There were other homes closer than what appeared in the aerial view, while booking. But they are far enough away that you have zero interaction! There were deer all over the property and the river was too far to get to! Place was clean and very comfortable! Perfect stay!

Peaceful

The property is nice and the home is a cute western theme. The river is just a short walk from the home. It is very remote and quiet. We had a visit from a neighboring pitbull. He was a sweetie and played with the 15 year old in our group.

A bit diappointed. Misleading. Inside cabin was clean except for the screened front porch. Unuseable. To much clutter. Hot tub needs to be on a deck and more accessable. It was more of a deer camp atmosphere instead of a vacation rental. Bottom of fire pit rusted out. Propane bottles for grill were empty. Don't get me wrong, the inside of the cabin was nice and clean but the rest took away from it. Needs to be updated and maintained. Just expected more. Easy access to the river

Get Away

The facility was nice and relaxing. Amenities were accurate to the description. The hot tub and firepit were nice amenities. The check-in process was a little frustrating due to lack of communication about entry gate and code. Make sure to save all check-in data as cellular service is limited.

Alone by the River

We came to be alone, and that is what we got. The road in was rough but manageable for sure. The cabin was exactly as listed. Listening to the nearby river plus stargazing was glorious. Rustic but relaxing. Thanks for a great place to unwind.

Secluded Retreat

If you are looking for a chance to be in nature and just relax this is perfect. The stars were so bright and beautiful at night! The river is close and calm enough to wade in or paddle board. The fire pit was nice and they had everything there to help you start a fire. Each room had their own heater/AC which made it nice to customize your environment. The only thing that we questioned was the fridge didn’t seem to feel cool at first but after a while it kept our items chilled. The neighbor had a dog that was friendly but did like to come up to the cabin and play with us outside. So if you are afraid of dogs just know that he is there. Was friendly but hyper. Overall a nice place to escape from the city.
