What a fantastic trip. If only we could of stayed for longer, a week, maybe two! This place was a paradise. Quiet, secluded even with the cabins next door. The cabin was spotless, well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Drop coffee pot, pots pans, silver wear, plates, mugs, cooking utensils, and even a small pantry of spices and basic pantry supplies. Beds were passable, not bad by any means, one was firm with memory foam it seemed, and the other was slightly softer. Pillows were okay as well. Beds are so personal to preference it's hard to rate them. The River was amazing! We walked down toward an old kayak slide and were able to access the river to swim, fish, tube. I will tell you to use this access you need to be in decent shape, it was a steep hill, slippery when wet, having said that, my 9 year old daughter had no problems, along with my 60 year old dad (who is in good shape). We waded the river all the way to the small rapids up stream and road the rapids down. Fishing is a a must here! We used rooster tails and caught some small mouth and sunfish. Early morning and evening was the best. I really can't sing enough praises about this rental, we loved it, and we cant wait to come back and are already looking at booking it again!

This is a wonderful place—a cozy house perfect for a family getaway. It features a private, well-equipped access point to the river for fishing or launching a kayak. Within a 30–40 minute drive, there are amazing waterfalls, rafting spots, and other attractions. I highly recommend it to a small family looking to spend a weekend or a short vacation there.

Cabin had everything you needed and even things you didn't know you would need. So we'll stocked and such a beautiful property. Host was very helpful as well. We had a great time and would love to come back again in the future. Thank you so much for a great Father's day getway!
