Beautiful, private, peaceful getaway for the family! We enjoyed many nearby attractions and activities, as well as just relaxing in the river or around the fire. The host did a great job making us feel like it was our home away from home. Would love to return again in the future!

Wonderful house on a beautiful site Many stairs which may be problematic for some. The roads entering and leaving the property can be challenging. The house is very good for entertaining families with many opportunities to enjoy the river and mountains.

The cabin was well equipped with everything you need, even a gold pan! Very clean and well furnished with cozy& luxurious touches. The towels smelled amazing!! The hot tub felt refreshing after a day tubing on the river and we enjoyed our coffee on the porch every morning, listening to all the sounds of nature. Our host was very responsive to any questions we had and we hope to visit again sometime. There’s so much to see in this area- vineyards, waterfalls, beautiful mountain drives, and more.

Nature lover's dream

This was a very secluded property but the gravel road was not bad at all. We saw a deer and her fawn cross the river, also a black bear crossing as well. The river otters and their little ones were a delight to watch every morning. The river view is beautiful. We enjoyed playing around in the river in front of the cabin on the small kayak we brought with us. Lots of deck space to relax on. The gravel road was great for morning walks. One of the cleanest properties we've stayed at. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods!

This property was great for our extended family of 10. The views are amazing, and the cabin was stocked with everything we needed. The road to the cabin is quite the adventure but well worth it for the amazing river views you get! Very close to town and multiple wineries. We loved our stay in this Cabin. Thank you to Dave for being such wonderful host!

Friend Getaway

This was absolutely one of the best getaways. Mr Dave happen to be at the house when we arrived. He was extremely helpful and his detailed books of near by attractions and restaurants was the best. Our 18-25 year olds already want us to book again for next year. Thank you, Mr Dave for sharing your home with us.

Peaceful Family Getaway

The home was beautiful and in a peaceful location. We had a great time and enjoyed hiking, fishing, and time together. We had the unexpected power outage(12 hrs+). I would suggest having a separate note about what to do if power is out (regarding water/toilet use). I would also suggest more description regarding the gravel road including the steep incline, so that drivers are prepared.

The river front view was beautiful! The house was very clean and accommodating.

The communication and questions answered about renting the property was very clear and replied promptly. The personal touches when we arrived was very nice. Everything we thought we were getting from the house was there. We enjoyed an evening out at the fire pit hearing the river current. The house was in close distance to the wineries. We will def be back!
