If you want a peaceful quiet place to get away and relax, this is the place! It was perfect for us! From the hot tub to the stunning view…. We were in heaven. Sitting out on the dock watching the sun rise, listening to the birds and the water flow down the river was so relaxing. We could see the mountains too. The wrap around deck was perfect, especially because it rained one day and we could still sit outside and enjoy the views and stay dry. AC worked great. Kitchen was small but clean with a few items there to help you make your favorite meal. We will definitely remember this stay forever.

Hidden Gem in the Forrest!

Cute little property, take lots of bug spray! Hot tub is relaxing. If you take your dogs, just be careful if they are not dog friendly, as sometimes the neighbor dogs come onto the property. The town is extremely dog friendly too!

I would suggest it only be rented in fall, summer, or spring. It has an air conditioner in a window and that permits very cold air into the living area. But it is adorable.

Amazing views!!

This house was just the coolest with its vintage log cabin vibe, and the gigantic fireplace was such a hit for my husband and I! It was so cozy and warm, and we loved, listening to the rapids right outside the screen door. Chemicals in the hot tub We’re pretty strong tho.. the steam was actually stinging my eyes and nose. Other than that everything was just perfect.

Can’t wait to go back!

We LOVED staying at this cabin. We live right outside of DC and were looking for a spot to unplug and relax for the weekend. The cabin was just under 2 hours away and it looked perfect online - turns out it was even better than perfect in person! Donna and Brad are lovely people and they were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. The cabin is PERFECT!!! It’s clean, spacious and in the perfect spot. The porch and deck have amazing views and the property itself is perfectly tucked away so you don’t deal with the typical car noises and such. I honestly think we’ve found our spot for the years to come and can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful cabin

The cabin was great for a couple. The rustic feel of the cabin, the fireplace, hot tub, and sitting on the deck by the river. Most everything was great, but my only complaint was the quality of the mattress on the bed. It was very soft with a noticeable dip in the middle. As a side sleeper, it was uncomfortable and had to sleep on my back. Otherwise, great place and grear location!

Rules, rules, rules - Beautiful place with too many rules

It's a beautiful place that is wonderfully isolated along a river, but the number and diversity of rules for the cabin are a bit much. While it is certainly the owner's discretion on how to manage their properties, there are literally pages of rules, rules framed on walls, rules on end tables, etc. which took away from some of our enjoyment due to trying to avoid any rule mistakes.

Dog restrictive

Based on all the warnings framed around the house people in the past must have been destructive to the place. Unfortunately, it is like the grandmother whose nickname is no-no “don’t touch anything”. The cabin itself is fantastic and for a couple with no dogs would be great. We had a 2 day and just left after the first as the place is nice but no way we could guarantee no dog hair.

Unfortunate

Drive to the cabin and surrounding area is beautiful. Upon arrival, found bed had no sheets and bathroom had no towels which I paid extra for. Expressed to owner these weren’t provided, she brought two towels for two people for a 5 day stay…told us if we need more, we can purchase at Walmart. Don’t count on the coin laundry…that’s in town, not on premises which is listed in rental amenities. Deck has areas of severe rot…watch where you step….especially around the hot tub. Pet friendly..? No pets allowed on furniture! Make sure they’re bathed and brushed before you get there, and make sure you leave no dog hair behind…you will be charged extra for cleaning if there is…that is stated in the rule book, which is a good read. The cabin itself is beautiful. It would have been nice if the outside of the deck and property were cleaned up. Be aware that the property owners live right next door. The worst thing was on the last day, we got up early to dispose of our trash as per the rules…we were gone for 20 minutes to come back to find that the owner was inside the cabin… with our belongings. We took care of the trash at 8 am, check out is 11 am. That is just wrong and made us feel very violated!
