The cabin is unique and historic as well as peaceful with just the water racing past. We got a little lost on the dirt road but they came and assured us we were in the right place. I would definitely stay here again.

The property setting was very nice, the river was flowing and was beautiful. What was not good, was sharing the cabin with the resident mice.They got into our food, they were actively running around while we were watching tv. Mouse poop in the tosster, on our bed, on the couch.We left a day early as my wife and i agreed. It was no fun worrying about the mice.I let the host know of the mice issue, she was very aware of the problem and blammed it on the cabin next door.We would not recommend this cabin or host to anyone.
