Loved the coffee bar, snack basket, & cold water. We were totally surprised when we opened frig- beverages, fresh ingredients for breakfast! It was a delight to find fresh strawberries. The only negative was VRBO not giving us wifi info nor letting me respond to message when owners responded to my question. ##### lavon y. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carley G. 29 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute little cabin on the river A perfect little place to rest and enjoy a night away. The cabin is decorated beautifully. Lots of little extras. It's obvious the owners want you to have a good experience! The river is so peaceful. Highly recommend. ##### Carley G.
