Throw blankets in the living room with dusty could’ve used to be washed. And the location was more remote than I anticipated but I think that’s probably on me to be more careful when looking at the listings. It was beautiful and we really enjoyed the waterfall. Host was very responsive and quick when we had questions about the televisions.

Lovely place to relax after day of adventuring

This cabin was terrific. The waterfall was an obvious highlight...everyone loved it. It had everything we needed and more...extra linens, spices, all the kitchen appliances and cookware. Linda was quick to respond when I realized I forgot to print out the right instructions to access the cabin . The beds were comfortable, spices it was a great place to stay after a day of hiking and whitewater rafting.

Awesome....Awesome.....AwesomeTen Stars all the way!The place was very isolated and peaceful. There was plenty of space for more if wanted. Stocked full of spices, pots and pans, everything we needed. The property is beautiful and the waterfall tops it off! Not one complaint at all. There is a real fireplace and we built fires for two nights. We grilled Ribeyes outside on the charcoal grill. The heater worked fast. Out of all my reviews, this one tops them all!! You will not be disappointed!
