Clean and cozy!!

We were lucky to host our very small wedding here with a few friends and family. The property is so pristine - absolutely beautiful with so much to explore just around the property. The lodge itself is very well stocked - kitchen is functional with quality cared for items. Beds were soooo comfy. We just loved the place and we thank you for the opportunity to create lasting memories here.

Secluded and Serene

Absolutely incredible stay! This VRBO exceeded all expectations. The location along the river is stunning – waking up to those serene views was a dream. The area is filled with beautiful trails, perfect for exploring, and we even found some fossils, which was such a unique experience! The amenities were top-notch; the hosts thought of everything we could possibly need, making our stay comfortable and relaxing. This place truly felt like a home away from home, with all the perks of being close to nature. Highly recommend – we’re already planning our next visit!

A great place!

Rustic charm meets modern amenities. The attention to detail shows how much care and consideration has been put into creating a place that you want to come back too! LOVE the Vintage touches throughout the home.We had a great stay, the perfect place to get away from it all and just enjoy time together as a family. The huge yard provides a ton of space for any activity and the house itself is spacious as well! The river was our absolute favorite, fishing during the day, catching frogs and crayfish at night and enjoying coffee with the morning visitors of birds including a blue heron! This was the perfect place and we all wanted to stay longer!
