Had a bit of a rough start the first night with an AC issue but VRBO, property management and especially the owners, Julie and Jake worked really hard to get us sorted! The house is laid out really well, there’s plenty of comfy furniture and room to cook, visit and hang out! The short walk down to the river is lovely and peaceful—we saw a turkey family, multiple deer and loads of birds—including eagles and hawks! The river has a sandy beach and the perfect mix of shallow and deep water with a smallish creek feeding into it. There’s warm spots and just the slightest current. Great for swimming—our 6-7 yr old grandkids brought floaties and kickboards and our Labrador took her first ever swim!! The large covered area to sit out of the sun was ample, though ideally, the line of sight to the river could be just a bit larger… The only thing that definitely needs improvement is the cleanliness. There was garbage under the bunk beds, the sheets on two of the beds had obvious stains, the furniture in the living room had visible thick dust and debris underneath and the floors, although swept were definitely not clean. Overall, we had a very good time and would definitely go back!

Thank you for the feedback! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Upper Pack River 4274! We appreciate your patience and understanding while we got that AC issue sorted. I will touch base with our housekeeping team regarding the items you mentioned as this is not a commonality for us and we want to ensure that doesn't happen again. I am so happy to hear your lab got to enjoy their first swim at this beautiful spot! What a sweet memory. Thank you again for your feedback! We would love to host you again soon! -Daugherty Management

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Pack River property! The home was exactly as described, and the location truly couldn’t have been more perfect. The six-acre property is absolutely stunning, and having direct access to the river was such a highlight for our family. We spent so much time down by the water, and it quickly became one of our favorite parts of the trip. The home had all the amenities we needed, and it was conveniently located close enough to town and other attractions while still feeling like a peaceful, private retreat.We did encounter a couple of minor issues during our stay, but they did not take away from how much we enjoyed the property overall. There were some ants in the kitchen and on the main floor at times, which made meal prep a little less convenient, and we also had a smoke detector on the main floor that started beeping during our stay. We reached out to property management, though we didn’t hear back right away, so we took care of the beeping ourselves to keep things comfortable for our family.Despite those small hiccups, we truly loved our time here and would absolutely recommend this property. The home and setting are exceptional, and it really is a special place to make family memories. We would definitely rebook, regardless of the concerns listed, and would be happy to return for another stay in the future.

The house was wonderful. So much space, great kitchen, and the upstairs was set up so you could have two separate family groups up there. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the outside area around the house was just tall weeds. If those had been cut down it would have felt more inviting. The area down at the river was very nice. Be sure to wear water shoes as the rocks are a bit slippery.

Smooth check-in and out process. The property was amazing with the wildlife and river. Things to improve/fix: the toaster did not work, drawers and shelves in the refrigerator were broken, chair/bench chairs were loose/breaking, and the burners on the right hand side of the gas stove were not working properly. The last two days there was an infestation of flies in the downstairs bedroom. We did kill them with Raid spray that we went out and bought. No clue where they came from. Other than those issues, the cabin is amazing and the host is great. Hopefully they get those issues taken care of for the future guests.
