Jun 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Bear Canin This is definitely a diamond in the rough. The river is just steps away from the cabin. At night many deer come out, raccoons, and turkeys. My dog loved watching all of them. The home owners are pet lovers and they raise and take care of horses and cats. They go far and beyond to make sure you feel at home. We will definitely go back again. Plus the homeowners leave treats for your pup. ##### Ann Y.
