Here's a shorter, more casual version:---** Loved this cabin!**Had such a great stay here — clean, cozy, and in a perfect spot. Would definitely book again.Two small suggestions: a cover for the front door window would be nice for a bit more privacy, and a few extra chairs would help when sitting on lower balcony.Only downside was the outside trash from the last guests hadn't been emptied when we arrived, so we handled that ourselves. Didn't ruin the trip though — still a great place overall!

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 22, 2026
Thank you so much for staying with us and for the great review! We are thrilled to hear you found the cabin clean, cozy, and perfectly located. We really appreciate your suggestions. Adding extra chairs for the lower balcony is already being discussed with the owner. Regarding the outside trash, it is on a Wednesday weekly pickup schedule and was emptied on time, but with guests in the cabin prior to your arrival and after the pick up, it looks like the timing didn't quite line up perfectly for your arrival. Thank you so much for handling that so graciously. We would love to host you again next time you need a cabin getaway!

River Solace

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Front porch & view of river fantastic. Very peaceful location. House was smaller than expected and a bit crowded on the interior but overall fairly comfortable. I have back issues and the mattress was much too soft for me. VERY small and low toilet so some difficulties there for an older person like me.

Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully appointed property River Solace was a secluded retreat designed for privacy, despite nearby neighbors. Quiet, cool, and shaded the forested cabin that is as cozy as it is cute. The river makes a perfect backdrop for river side meals and babbling brook ambience. The dogs enjoyed naps on the porch and watching the wildlife. We appreciated them having a fenced side yard for late night bathroom breaks. Our stay was very enjoyable!

Getaway along the stream

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful, immaculate cabin along a babbling stream. Very well-appointed including fluffy designer robes for the secluded hot tub. Had one day of anticipated rain which sounded wonderful on the roof. Did wish the fireplace was still active in May as the rain made it a bit 'raw' inside. HIGHLY recommend this cabin, perhaps our favorite of all time. Be prepared, you have a bit of a drive to reach it. Can't wait to return!

Serene & dog friendly

Cabin and surrounding views were exactly as indicated in pictures and VRBO listing. It was very clean and even had some doggie amenities that were a nice surprise. We thoroughly enjoyed staying there and hope to be back for a longer stay in the fall. PS: We recommend having a vehicle & driver that can climb up and down steep gravel roads.

We had such a wonderful time at River Solace. We came for our honeymoon and left with so many great memories! The property was gorgeous and the cabin was so cute. We loved soaking in the hot tub and building a fire by the River. We will definitely be back! - The Binkley’s

Excellent girls trip!

The cabin and its proximity to the river were a total DREAM. One word of advice to travelers- the road to the cabin is rough. Come in an SUV or truck, and not in a low sitting car.

Perfect for Two

We had such a good experience, great little place for two and even room enough for a couple of kids. We didn’t bring our pet, but we should have – great fenced-in yard, dog bed, and even a jar of doggie treats! Cell reception is so spotty, I wouldn’t rely on it. The position of the cabin is so close to the mountain river you can hear it! We loved staying there and will definitely be back!

Awesome river cabin

This was such a fun cabin. I caught my first trout right outside! There were so many deer and lots of wildlife, me and my husband had a great time. The road to get to the cabin is a little rough with gravel/potholes, and the cabin had that pet smell but overall we had a blast. Beautiful, quaint cabin on the river.
