Wow! Dianne and Mike truly are super hosts and the cabin is as advertised. Very cozy, very relaxing, and loved hearing the river flow just behind the cabin. My partner and I enjoyed a very nice weekend away together and this cabin was perfect. Communication with Mike and Dianne was second to none, from reserving to check-out. Definitely planning another weekend getaway.

This a very remote area which is exactly what we wanted. The are quite a few places to hike and explore in the area. After exploring, we could sit on the back deck to read and listen to the creek and the birds. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. Communication with the host was very easy and we had no trouble with check in or house issues. Also, the host provided extra treats which in our VRBO experience is quite unusual.

The house was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. It was quite and literally right next to the river. The host was very responsive and helpful, which made everything easy. They even left us snacks, fruit, pastries and a bottle of wine! We really appreciate their thoughtfulness and would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing that incredible photo of the Northern Lights! We're so glad you guys, and your two dogs, enjoyed your stay and felt at home. It means a lot to hear that you appreciated the little welcome treats and that our location by the river made your visit even more special. We'd be delighted to host you again anytime; hopefully with another amazing Aurora display waiting for you!
I highly recommend Dianne and Mike as hosts. There was excellent communications from the moment I booked, throughout the wait, and when we arrived. They had everything well planned. I had one question on locating something and it took no time at all for a response. When I arrived there was a bottle of wine an fresh beignets waiting. I've heard of beignets but never had them. That was a classy touch. My dog Bandit enjoyed being in the woods. He had planned on catching a couple dozen bears but they must have been to afraid to confront him. I did see a giant moose as we were 5 minutes away while arriving. There were also deer around on the first couple of nights. Very peaceful. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your sweet dog. We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and had the chance to experience some of the local wildlife.
We’re especially happy you enjoyed the wine and fresh beignets. It was our pleasure to add a little something special to your arrival.
Thank you again for choosing our home and for your kind words about our communication. We’d love to welcome you and your pup back anytime!
This host is 5 star- my husband and I needed to recharge so we booked this cabin and it’s everything we wanted. I told the host that I recently turned 40 and on the kitchen table was a bouquet of white flowers, a bottle of wine and some yummie beignets in the fridge! Dianna and Mike even wrote out a happy birthday card- I felt so special! We enjoyed our mornings on the deck and had delicious Sammies at the picnic table. The kitchen was great for cooking up dinners. This place was everything we needed and so much more. Thank you Dianna and Mike for making us feel so special and for opening your home to us! What a gem!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means the world to us that you chose our cabin to celebrate such a special milestone. We're so happy the flowers, wine, beignets, and birthday card helped make your birthday feel a little more memorable.
It sounds like you made the most of your time: from peaceful mornings on the deck to enjoying meals together and cooking in the kitchen, which is exactly what we hope every guest experiences.
Thank you for being such thoughtful guests. It was a pleasure hosting you both, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime you need another relaxing getaway. Happy Birthday once again, and here's to many more wonderful adventures ahead!
Beautiful location, well appointed cabin. We had everything we needed and enjoyed being in the natural setting. Hosts were friendly and great with communication. Would recommend!
The cabin was very private, cute, and clean. You have plenty of pace outside away from the nearest cabins and you’re right along the river. The best part was the large bull moose who walked right by the cabin in the morning and walked across the river. Would stay again!
