I had an amazing time with my students. We hung out, relaxed, ate too much junk food and studied the Bible. We even had a foot washing ceremony. Great place. Great location.
We loved staying here! Planning on coming back as soon as we can. Owner was very quick to respond to messages and super helpful. My favorite part was the front porch in the evenings and in the mornings while I drank my coffee. Saw a bald eagle twice while we sat out there.
This was perfect.
It was our son’s wedding and the groomsmen and us and our children hung out here before and after the wedding ceremony. Just the right amount of getaway but still close to amenities if someone needed something.
The river is beautiful and the cabin is perfectly accommodating for our large group of family and friends. The guys loved the came fire , the kids enjoyed the loft. Everyone had their own space. Thank you.
Would definitely recommend and consider reserving the cabin again.
