It's a super cute place to stay with everything we needed. The only thing I would let others know is that there is no dock as of our stay in June 2025. Getting down to the water isn't the easiest its pretty steep so we didnt get to enjoy the river like I had hoped when I originally booked it. ##### Crystal R.

The only issue we had was the part of the river that the cabin has access to had rocks that were jagged and a little hard to traverse. Other than that it was a great little get away. ##### Scott S. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trisha S. 27 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stressed to Zen in 60 seconds!! We had some challenges initially finding the cabin (we called mng & they were SO patient w/ us). We arrived stressed (our natural state these days) but within a minute of walking in to this cozy, CLEAN, relaxing cabin w/the sound of the river in the background...we found our Zen. We hiked, fished and enjoyed nature. The dock for the cabin was gone (probably washed away from the hurricane) so the river wasn't accesible. That was really the only disappointment. Overall highly recommend and if they replace the dock we would LOVE to stay there every year!! ##### Trisha S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shawnell W. 31 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Easter Weekend Stay The property was a little hard to find, but we got there. There is no service, but once you connect to the WiFi its fine. Secluded, but in the best way possible. Hiking and sightseeing within a couple miles. Stores are about 10 miles away. The home was perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Neighbor dog came across the river, but was friendly. Couldn't find an outside trash can or dumpster. Looking forward to our next stay. ##### Shawnell W.

Everything one could possibly need was provided. Most important to me is a comfortable bed, that I got! First time to this area and it will not be our last. Cabin was in a great location to hike many waterfalls in the area. The only improvement I would suggest is to put the WiFi information in your information book. We had to call to find where it was located. After a quick phone call we were told it was on the back of a card on side of fridge. Just needs to be more visible. Wonderful week in a wonderful cabin! We will definitely be making a trip back to Happy Place. ##### John A.
