This is such kind feedback—thank you! We are absolutely delighted that you had a wonderful time and found the cabin to be the perfect place to stay. It was a pleasure having you, and we look forward to your next booking with us!
We were so pleased with our quick stay here - it was so easy to communicate with Donna, check-in was clearly communicated, the place was so clean and stocked with everything we needed and more, and a perfect location near the Bridge at current river. Highly recommend and will probably stay here again!

Ashlea, Thank you for the nice review. Happy to hear you enjoyed the cabin and location. I look forward to having you back again sometime!
We stayed Friday to Sunday so we could float on the current river. It is close to everything in town but secluded enough for quiet country stay

The cabin was beautiful and well stocked. Very clean. Had everything you would need to make your stay an enjoyable one. The kids, grandkids and Dad/Papaw enjoyed the checker board the most. There was an issue with the AC unit, however the owner went above and beyond to make things bearable for our stay. My family and I would stay again at this cabin.

From the Owner: "Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad Papaw and the grandkids enjoyed the checkerboard and cabin. I'm very sorry about the AC issues, but I'm happy to share that the new AC unit is working great—so when you return, your family should be extremely comfortable. Thank you for being so kind and patient throughout the issue. I look forward to welcoming your family back again!"
