Reviewer Comments: We had such a lovely stay at this cabin. It was cozy and rustic and the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. It is situated in such a quiet and serene location near the river. It has a well stocked kitchen with everything you need to prep food. Right out the door we found some of the best hiking trails and wilderness to explore. The kids loved being able to be free and fish so close to where we were staying and they had a blast with the ping pong table! This spot really is perfect for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Beds were comfortable and host was responsive and helpful! This was right up our alley and we will definitely stay here again!
