Nice small cabin

The cabin is small and it only has one bathroom, but it’s location is key. You’re very close to town and to most restaurants and local entertainment. There were two things I wasn’t crazy about: the full bed in the smaller room was a very uncomfortable and cheap bed; and there weren’t many throw-downs or comforters for everyone to warm up.

Whispering on the river

Cabin is in a good location, close to town. Plenty of room, exceptionally clean interior and exterior. Fun chairs overlooking the river. Very impressed! Completely furnished - all you need for a relaxing location surrounded by the tall trees swaying in the wind.
