Oct 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Has a Grill, beds were fantastic, I can vouch for the house staying cool even with it being very hot outside. 86 degrees farenheit and without a/c the house stayed 15 degrees cooler by keeping windows and doors closed. River was beautiful and extremely quiet and private. Will re-book in future. House was very nice with great decorating and a modern "cabin" feel. ##### Rob R. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Cabin and surrounding area was beautiful!! Amenities were great! Would have liked a little help with knowing how to run the TV. Most VRBOs have information in the house indicating how some things work. NO HELP with the TV. Also directions to reach the cabin initially were very difficult to follow. Using GPS was confusing and brought us to very bad roads. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very clean, peaceful.
