Great for a get away. They owners had games and enough kitchen space to cook meals and just hangout. Great family time, the kids has a blast swimming in the river. ##### Caitlin C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nathan S. 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Nice spot, but some maintenance needed The location is excellent - just a minute from town and the Cherohala Skyway. The waterfront is nice, and coffee on the deck in the morning is great. The cabin has all the necessities, but is very basic. As others say there's no TV or wifi, though cell service is passable (Verizon), but that's not why you come to a place like this. As for some negatives, I noticed the same septic smell another reviewer mentioned, and the air conditioner is fairly loud and has a hard time keeping up even at night (I stayed there in August). Letting in some fresh cool air in the mornings helped on both counts. A little TLC would take this place from good to great. ##### Nathan S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kerstin 26 Jul 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness I loved the property and the location. It was a slice of heaven and what we were looking for for our family get away to visit family in the area. The only thing I feel that needs addressed is the cleanliness of the cabin in general. There were signs of pests,dirty dishes put back as clean (could be the guests reasonability for cleaning dishes but a simple look over by the cleaner and it could have been addressed) along with the spare pillow and blanket not being clean. It was like they were folded up and put in the bag without being washed because they were visibly dirty. I did not contact the owner as we were only in for a couple days and had a very busy schedule so I did not give them a chance to replace the spare linens. I do believe they would have fixed the issue given a chance because their communication before and after was attentive. This cabin was very affordable and I don't expect things to be perfect just a little cleaner. Over all we enjoyed our stay and would book again. ##### Kerstin Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tammy C. 21 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Get Cabin clean and Just what we needed came down with my Husband daughter and grand baby this was the perfect getaway loved sitting on the back porch overlooking the river it had everything we needed.
