Fabulous retreat

I just wanted to get away from everything with my kids near a River we could play in. I wanted to be able to cook and relax. We felt so at home here. There was nobody in the other cabins on the street. It was clean, and the fire pit was great! My boys could go up and down the hill easily. For me it was more challenging, but they knew to e careful and I felt safe letting them enjoy the River while I rested at the fire pit or cooked inside. Thank you so much. The washer dryer worked great and everything was thought of. The beds were comfortable. I would stay again.

Beautiful property!

This cozy little house is in a great location - far enough away that it feels private but close enough that you can still get things you need! The property was beautiful and the sound of the river was comforting. The porches were perfect for just sitting and enjoying nature.

A true getaway!

This cabin is exactly as advertised. A secluded, remote, quiet, and peaceful cabin in the mountains. Cheryl is amazing, very quick to respond to inquiries, but hands off when you need your peace. My son, our husky Falkor, and I all enjoyed the vacation and brought in 2024 in a beautiful snowy bliss! We will be back in the summer to play in the river! Highly recommend!

Peaceful Get-away

Very enjoyable stay! I had wanted to fish, but it was just too cold and rainy (My fault....it is November!!) lol The cabin was clean and stocked with many necessities, even found salt and pepper which I had forgot!! Cheryl even provided a list of items included and by fault things not included. This list was very helpful! I would very much like to book again for spring or early summer. Is there fish in the stream that is beside the cabin?? Thank you so much!
