The cabin was cute and on the river like we wanted. Close to town and convenient. The beds were not very comfortable, a little too firm for my liking. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Very rustic cabin but it is very clean and has all the basics. The riverside location and proximity to town are fantastic. I especially loved the rocking chair inside and the swing on the porch. The other living room furniture was also very comfortable.

The property owner communicated details very well and kept me updated on things, like early access to the cabin if it was something I wanted. It was a pet friendly place and I had no worries with our dog that we had with us. My husband and I were able to walk into town very quickly and easily and I loved the beautiful scenery. Would definitely book again in the future if this place is still available! Great customer service!
