The cabin is very dated & plain. It had an old smell to it. Rustic is just a fancy way of saying "needs to be updated". It has a lot of character & could be very charming with just a few cosmetic tweaks. It was clean though. It was very quiet. So much so you could hear the now calm creek that runs along beside it. The wildlife was fun to watch.

Peaceful retreat

This was our second time in staying at this quaint cabin. The Rioduso river that runs along the property adds to the tranquil atmosphere of this cozy cabin nestled in the upper canyon community. We are looking forward to visiting again in the future.
