This is a classic, old-school "up north" cabin, with everything you need for a comfortable stay without the frills. There's very little traffic on the road, so it's peaceful. There's a lot to do in the area. Cell phone service in the area is pretty bad, so your navigation app might not quite get you there but it's easy enough to find visually.We liked the place and would stay again if the opportunity comes up.

Small quiet and cabin in the woods! Loved that it was not in a campground or by one. We had a relaxing time. It was clean. Bring your own lawn chairs a shovel to clean up after your dog and towels.

Great, cozy cabin with straight access to towering woods and short walk to river nearby.

Has everything you’ll need: plenty of cooking gear, DVDs, linens, fire pit, and woodsy charm. David was a very accommodating owner who is always reachable and quick to respond to questions or fix anything that may seem wrong (like promptly coming over to light a heater pilot light).
