While the property has been updated, please be aware that this place still has the quirks of an older trailer (squeaky floors, low ceilings, septic system, etc.)

Camera 1 is located on the front porch on a table facing the front yard and camera 2 is located on the shed facing the deck. The cameras are outward facing and do not look into interior spaces.

Artfully refurbished, well-appointed manufactured home. Loved having the hot tub to soak in at sunset. Interior deadbolt is a bit challenging to lock/unlock.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2025
This property is in a nice location if you want to be away from town. We enjoyed the river access, fire pit and hot tub. The “cabin” is very small, the photos make it look larger. I understand it’s old but it really needs a deep cleaning. The air duct system is packed full of rocks and dirt, making for very poor air quality inside. Definitely could use more maintenance and updating, the whole place feels dirty. Even dishes in the cupboard were dirty. Would not return to this spot.
