Clean, had everything we needed. Requires stairs to access. Quiet, but there is a busy road on the opposite side of the river. Gravel driveway runs between house and river but not a busy one. Porch is awesome. Gas fireplace.

The right of rustic and comfort

The property was everything that we expected. The location and beautiful scenery complimented a very well maintained and fully equipped cozy cabin. Hearing the river run just outside made us feel like we were close to nature. Highly recommend it.

Great fishing cabin!

This cabin was perfect for our annual fly fishing trip. Four of us stayed in the cabin - beds were very comfortable and everything was there that we needed. The river was running fast one day due to rain but we were able to enjoy fishing every day using waders. Two bits of advice - (1) bring water because the well water in the cabin is high in sulfur and (2) if you have any questions about the stay, call Vacasa directly because no one responds through VRBO. We would definitely stay there again!
