Loved the location for Kenyon family weekend. Perfect serene cabin in the woods. Great place to get away and recharge. Loved being right on the river and able to hear the critters splashing around. The cabin has everything we needed for the weekend. Would definitely book again.

Very sweet place along a river. We used the kayakes, the hot tub, the fire pit,and went fishing. Great place to unwind and set by the river. There were little towns to go shop and eat out.

My wife and I came here for an anniversary trip and loved it. The house is secluded, well kept, and inviting. We enjoyed the various amenties offered including the deck firepit, outdoor shower, and hot tub. The road is very close to the house but you don't really notice it.

The house fit our needs perfectly. Is right on the main road but didn’t bother us as made it easy for our day excursions. Enjoyed the hot tub in the morning when the air was chilly.One of the highlights was sitting out on the swing by the river. A bald eagle flew right over us as we sippped on a complimentary glass of wine. Would not hesitate to stay again.

We arrived the afternoon of a snow storm and it was a beautiful winter wonderland. Our host Al reached out the following morning and coordinated a time to come by to clear the deck, walkways and the driveway. We came back to a clear area so we could enjoy the hot tub and the fire pit on the back deck. Being closer to the road I worried at first but when you’re inside the sound you hear from any traffic is very minimal. We are planning a stay in the summer to enjoy the river activities. We did have visitors in back of several deer and a couple raccoons that were very curious one evening. This place is a little hidden gem.
