Magical Vacation

I just wanted to say how absolutely beautiful the place was — we had a wonderful time! It was truly the perfect vacation spot for our family. The lightning bugs in the afternoon were magical — we’d never seen anything like that. The afternoon walk watching the deer play was amazing.

Beautiful cabin

The cabin was great and the owner was very friendly. We loved the river, the fire pit, and having two living areas inside to spread out. The porch is huge with plenty of seating for everyone.

Perfect rainy weather

We had a blast even though it rained most of our stay. That's the mountains! Hiked in the rain, fished in the rain, played in the rain. Killer Monopoly games inside at night. So much porch time where we never got wet. Coffee and wine always taste better on the porch.

Communication

It is extremely frustrating to communicate. I am getting a six number code, but I am unable to leave a message. I forget a very thin gold chain in the bedroom to the right at the top of the stairs. I think it is either on top of the dresser, or possibly on the bed or floor. Please let me know if you find it. The house I lovely and nicely furnished. We enjoyed our stay.

Lovely lovely stay

The setting of the home and the coziness is absolutely perfect! Beautiful piece of property on the river, wrap around porch, all rooms have en suite bathrooms, we loved the two living rooms and the large round table for dining together. Super comfortable home well stocked with all your basic provisions. That is very appreciated. The location is perfect to explore all the nearby towns. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back in the summer.
