10/10 Excellent
"This may have been my favorite VRBO to date. The cabin was just perfect for our anniversary getaway. We slept with the windows open to listen to the river each night. I loved the heated floors in the bathroom. Anytime we reached out with questions via phone or text the host was extremely responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this cabin!!"

"The index cabins were excellent! The location is beautiful, river access and mountain views are a few steps from the cabin door. The cabin had everything we could need for the weekend, which was really comforting after a long day of hiking. The property has a ton of nice amenities, especially the sauna, cold plunge, and places for a campfire. Nick was super easy to reach and always responded quickly. This was the perfect place to get away to the wilderness for the weekend without having to camp!"

"Loved this place! When it comes to cleanliness, keep in mind this place is in the woods; there were a few little spider friends in the corners lol. Otherwise, there really wasn't a speck of dust anywhere! Overall, the place is as advertised and was the perfect little getaway for our 10 year wedding anniversary! We mostly stayed at the cabin enjoying all the streaming services on the TV, having a drink by the river, and relaxing in the hot tub. Would absolutely stay here again 10/10 recommend!"

"We absolutely loved our stay here and couldn’t have asked for a better vacation! The cabin was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need. The rooms were a great size, and the house was incredibly well-equipped and felt like a true home away from home.The mountain views were absolutely incredible, and having the river right out front made the setting even more special. Sitting in the hot tub and taking in the scenery was easily one of our favorite parts of the trip!The location was perfect. It’s only a little over an hour from the airport, and there are so many amazing hikes and outdoor adventures that you can actually walk to right from the cabin. The town itself was wonderful, and our kids especially loved having the playground at the school nearby.We visited in September and the weather couldn’t have been better — sunny every day, with lows around 50 and highs around 75. It was the perfect weather for hiking, exploring, and enjoying the mountains.The host was also amazing — communication was excellent, and they were incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure their guests have a great experience.This truly felt like a dream vacation, and we would absolutely love to come back again. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful mountain getaway, especially families. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!"
