The cabin was so cute. Right along the water. We loved being able to hear the rushing river all night with our screen door open. Such beautiful views too.
Great property, friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

We had the best visit! Scoria was amazing! My son enjoyed his hockey tournament. My daughter enjoyed her 18th birthday and her ice cream cake! Kitchenette with freezer was the best! The whole place is so pretty and that view from the bedroom! I miss it already! The place was clean and inviting! The nearby waterfall was beautiful!

Lovely cabin next to the river just outside the town area. Very quiet and peaceful with everything you need for a stay. We only stayed for one night, and it was lovely to wake up and watch the river flow by from the bed in the morning. Very clean and tidy cabin - would definitely recommend a stay here and would stay again if travelling the area.

We were really impressed with the comfort, cleanliness and uniqueness of the cabin that we stayed in. We loved the fact that the 3 large windows overlooked the river and how all our needs were met. Looking forward to staying here again in the future.
