The cottage is good any season of the year and all seasons have their particular activities that are special to the time of year. The general area includes multiple ,hiking trails,rivers ,lakes, and State Parks. The Jackson River Trail is directly across the river from the cottage at about mile marker four.

Relaxation at it’s best
Two families enjoyed this lovely home on the river. With 4 teenagers and 4 adults, we enjoyed some quality, family and friend time along with relaxing moments. Extensive river-front property lent itself to unlimited fishing, a BB gun shooting range, an exciting teenage egg hunt, and moments by a campfire despite the rainy forecast. My husband and son went out and bought waiters to thoroughly enjoy river fishing. Sadly, it was too cold to enjoy the various watercraft that the property had. The home itself had a lovely sunroom and screened in porch, where you could find any one at anytime. We explored the area and my friend and I completed several hikes. The host was very helpful with suggestions prior to arrival and very prompt with responses during our trip.

Comfy Cottage by the River
Our group consists of 3 couples who have been friends for 37 years. We met up at this comfy cottage for a long weekend together. The cottage itself is very comfortable, clean, cute, and quiet. We shared a lot of time sitting together around the big kitchen table eating and playing games. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare the meals we brought. The beds were good, and everyone had enough space. The cottage is located a good distance from the road and looks out directly onto the river. We enjoyed exploring the property and having a bonfire by the river. One of our group even took a polar plunge in the river! We ventured away from the cottage to check out Island Ford Cave, Humpback Bridge, Swinging Bridge, Warm Spring Pools, Homestead Resort, some establishments in Covington, and the great walking trail that runs along the Jefferson River. The cottage is in a somewhat remote location, but is very close to lots of fun things to do. We had a great time! Mike, the owner, is very helpful with suggestions of things to do in the area, and he responds to text messages quickly. I highly recommend this property!

Jackson River Family Camp
Exactly as described: beautiful, large, comfortable, and well appointed cabin, with kayaks and raft for guest use. We loved fishing the river during the day and having campfires at night. Owner was incredibly helpful during our entire stay. Highly recommend this property!
