Very nice place
The cabin and the decorations are stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return. We got to meet Doug which was nice as he gave us very interesting details of the history of the cabin. Other than food you have everything you need. Thank you for allowing us to have a quiet weekend getaway.

Beautiful secluded cabin with 5 star finishes
What we enjoyed about this little cabin: High quality materials throughout. Loved the chunky logs and beams- Beautiful. Quiet, peaceful, secluded. Plenty of soft fresh smelling linens. Thoughtful and fun decor. Everywhere we turned, we said, “Look at this!” Kitchen countertops are a show-stopper! Rain-head shower was so nice. Golf cart ride to river was fun! Soft sofa. Night lights. Coffee bar. Porches. Bath mats. Fancy soap. Plug-in air fragrances- smelled lovely as soon as we walked in. And so much more. What we thought could have been better: *We got lost on the way to river- maybe a less complicated map? We still enjoyed the ride. *From the pics in listing, I thought there were river views from cabin (literally the river in backyard)- obviously my misunderstanding, but maybe clarify the proximity of river? Even without water views, we enjoyed so much, we would return. *Took a while to figure out remotes- maybe include instructions? *There were no coffee filters. *Usually when we rent cabins, travel sized shampoos & body wash are stocked. I didn’t realize this is not stocked and did not bring any. *A hair dryer would be nice.

Great stay!
Really first class property. Interior design/decoration is fantastic. Very unique with the saloon, the doghouse, etc. You've built your own little resort area on the sound! The golf cart was fun for the kids. The fully stocked firepit was a huge perk. The pier access was also a huge plus. Some suggestions - there were a few things that were a little confusing about the property that we had to figure out. The checkin process obviously was not clear, just including a note in the online reservation about the key location would fix that. Inside the house, I didn't realize there was a another refrigerator under the counter until our second day there. Maybe some labels in the kitchen to show where things are? Lastly, the property itself is a little confusing with the neighbors, multiple buildings, etc. I saw the helpful map you had drawn out in the binder, but I didn't find the binder until our second day there either. Maybe have it more prominently displayed / labeled upon arrival. Really appreciate you opening the property up to us and for your hospitality!

Peaceful getaway
This is a well built, cozy and beautiful log home set in a very quiet neighborhood at the River. We wanted a quiet and private place and we found it. We met the owners and they were great. They are very generous with their whole property. The golf cart was fun and handy and we enjoyed the fire pit one night, too. Cant wait to go back!

Extremely Nice Place
The view of the river from the top of the hill is gorgeous! We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor firepit on a cold February evening. The hosts supplied ample firewood which we haven't often found to be the case at other vacation rentals. This was just one example of the attention to detail for this lovely cabin. The decor of the cabin, inside and outside, is so thoughtfully done including the surrounding property. We hope to visit again soon.

My name is Doug Liverman. I live in Ahoskie NC. Ahoskie is about 25 minutes away from the cabin. The cabin was built basically to have more room when we (Kim and I ) would have all the family down for holiday weekends. It started out as just a square box shape and turned into what it is today. It is about 800 square feet sitting on a hillside just off the Chowan River in Bertie County N.C. It is pattern after a one hundred year old cabin that Kim, my girlfriend, found in a Sportsman magazine at a dentist office. Kim got me phone numbers and I called until I found the people who own the original one which is over a hunderd years old and much more rustic. We added a kitchen and a few other features to ours to make it what it is. A nice little cozy cabin on a hillside where it fits perfect over looking a pond in a quiet little area on the river. You can walk from the cabin to the pier on the river and never touch the ground.It is great for exercise if you are looking for that. As for myself I own a small business in Ahoskie and Kim is a nurse at the local hospital.There is a larger log home on the property which I try to spend as much time in as I possibly can. If you come and visit you will understand why.

Why they chose this property

Mainly for the view. When I was sixteen my buddy and I would go down to this place and hang out, at that time it belonged to his grandparents. I would watch him and a friend of ours jump off a cliff that used to be in front of the main house. The crazy things we will do when we are young . I never knew that someday I would actually have a house on the same lot. The view is beautiful and breathtaking especially on a moon lite night or an early morning sunrise.

What makes this property unique

The view and location is great and it is very quaint and peaceful. If you are looking for a quiet week or weekend it's worth the trip. You can see deer running around, you can feed the ducks in the nearby pond, watch the rabbits run by, or maybe if you are lucky you may see a bald eagle fly. There are nice restaurants in the area that you can visit by land or river. Just one problem if you go by river you will need a boat, so if you have one you might want to bring it unless you luck up and Kim and I are around and hungry. There is some shopping a few miles away, a movie theater, and some historical viewing if you like things like that. It is small town shopping no W-marts. The nearest one is about 25 minutes away.The cabin does have a deck on the back with a fire pit, gas grill, and a screened in porch. There is a front porch with old timer rockers and a small table for early morning coffee. It has a microwave, also a coffee maker for the coffee lovers.The bathroom has a walk in shower but no tub, in the kitchen there is an oven,stove, and fridge.Jets skies and fishing boats are not available but there will be a paddle boat,small john boat with trolling motor for someone who may want to fish. Canoe or kayak and fishing reels will be available for daily rental. If there is a special occasion please let us know we will be more than willing to help. Check in time is at 3:00 PM, check out is at 11:00 AM.
