Large comfortable cozy cabin by the river

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's pretty much exactly what it looks like! Or family had a great trip. Property managers were very quick to provide help when needed. Only wish there was some way across the river closer to the house to make the walk into town a little quicker, but that's certainly not their fault.Would happily stay again!

The house was perfectly set on the river. It was much bigger on the inside than it looked from the outside. I was traveling with 4 other ladies and we all had plenty of space. The kitchen is great. The hot tub was enjoyed and the area under the house is truly set up for a family reunion. The den area was comfortable and the fact that you could walk to town was a huge plus. Would recommend for friend or family groups.

The absolutely best cabin !!!

We had our family come down and stay for a birthday weekend and this cabin was perfect! This is by far the best cabin we have ever stayed in and will probably never stay in another cabin! Very spacious, super clean, breathtaking views and gorgeous cabin and thats just the inside! The putside has the best entertainment area underneath the cabin providing a bathroom, hot tub, bar area, never ending seating, and a beautiful firepit! Book this place but don't lol that way I can book it again! Will definitely be back.

Great location- comfortable stay

The house is right on the river and a short walk from town. There is a ton of outside seating. The cabin has a great rustic feel and the bedrooms are all comfortable. The kitchen is very nice.We only needed 4 bedrooms, but there is also a bunk bed as you are entering the cabin. It is kind of in the open, so if you need that, just be prepared It was very quiet when we were there, but in the summer there are a.lot of tubbers on the river.We will gladly go back!
