Weekend getaway

We enjoyed our stay, but the cleanliness of the outside and inside should have been better. We didn’t use the hot tub because it wasn’t clean. The host did offer to clean it. Also need to update with current pictures online.

Quick getaway with a friend

What a cute place. This would be the perfect place if there were two beds instead a bed and a futon. But I know what I reserved. Very nice.

Charming cabin with a mouse problem

Charming cabin perfect for hot tubbing and bird watching. Big mouse problem with droppings all throughout the house. We had to dispose of a dead one in the living room.

Secluded peaceful spot,yet close enough to get supplies and sightseeing. We enjoyed the gravel bar and the river. The hot tub was wonderful! We will definitely be planning a return visit!

Gill Ridge Cabins

The wife and I have made three trips to the area and have stayed at Gill Ridge. Twice at Koi Pond and once at Ellens cabin. The properties are always clean and stocked with plenty of towels, bedding and kitchen cookware. Lots of firewood for the fire pit and grills for outside cooking. Nothing beats laying in your hot tub aftef dark under the stars! Plenty of places to eat in the area and things to do for all ages. We will be back again for our next weekend get away.

Before season

Cute cabin. Beds are awful, couch & love seat not made for sitting. Butt goes past knees very uncomfortable. Rules are to put away all your dishes. Every pot & pan i went to use needed to be washed. Food stuck to pans. Hottub needed to be vacuumed out.

Worn accommodations but nice location

Overall very nice place to stay. The hot tub was wonderful and the location is very quiet. The fridge was plenty large and the full stove and oven nice to use The house in general doesn't have a lot of lights, especially the living room area. Water pressure in the shower is low. A few short trim pieces weren't fastened down in various places. Overall, it is a very nice place. It just needs some attention and detail work to make it perfect.
