Anniversary Trip

This was our third visit and as always we love it. The weather was perfect, flowing river with cool breezes was so calming and soothing. The beds are the most comfy of any Heber place we’ve stayed. Communication with property manager is always great. We highly recommend this place!

Perfect Cabin on the River

We loved our stay at the cabin- perfect spot right on the river. Cabin was super clean and plenty of supplies. The river and lawn were beautiful! We hope to come back sometime when the dam isn’t generating so much - water was very high and fast. Very relaxing trip for our family!!

Great weekend getaway

This house was the perfect place to go for a quick weekend trip. It had all the room we needed, plenty of space to spread out, and lots of beautiful outdoor views. Even with some rain we were able to hike and enjoy the surrounding area and have a bonfire and smores down by the river!

Weekend Getaway

These were perfect accommodations for our 3 night stay. Rustic, on the river, actually able to access the river and catch fish. We drove over 6 hours for our stay and would do it again. Stunning views, massive trees, good fishing. We were very pleased!
