We loved how the cabin was close to the river. We read our books, enjoyed the porch swing and put our toes in the river water. It was a relaxing stay!

This cute little cabin was extremely clean, and cozy. However, if you have a 6’4 husband like mine the bathroom shower entrance is a little small, but totally okay. Just maybe worth mentioning to future tall guests, doorways are slightly shorter than average. But definitely not a deal breaker. The river out the front door was the absolute topper.

The cabin is a lovely set up with everything you can need. The view is beautiful in the back. Only thing is the screen on the back porch had holes and a burner on the stove doesn't work correctly but everything else was amazing and friendly environment
