Rock cabin

Very clean, old cabin. Walked over to the “dance floor” and down by the river. Pretty rough area. Loved the cabin though! Great meal at Lakeview Cafe in Cherokee!

Margaret, I am so happy that you had a good time. Carol's always has good food and so does the Pill Box especially for lunches. I had one of the best BLT's ever, from there. Safe travels!!! Carolyn

Comfortable place

The rock house is in good shape, the kitchen well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. The listing says two minutes to river, but you have to drive over a low water bridge that is too slick to walk across. There is a spot to park near the river, but there is no access point for a kayak or swimming.

Miramichi (not the Justin Timberlake one)

My wife and I have stayed at this cabin several times over the past few years. We have enjoyed each stay and appreciate the personal touch of dealing directly with the owner. The inside of the cabin is clean and comfy but we spend little time inside. When we are at the cabin we hang out on the screened in porch. There is plenty of room, no bugs, and we often get to listen in to the concerts across the river. It is easy to get to and from the cabin and now is close to a liquor store if you desire an adult beverage. This place is perfect for a peaceful weekend at the river.

Read description

Cute little cabin. Not anywhere near where VRBO map showed, and was the only reason for booking. Cabin was 30 minutes away from where we thought we were staying. Cabin was mainly clean, but shower/tub was not cleaned before we stayed. Cabin's screened in front porch and firepit faces directly to the neighbor's house and yard. Neighbors were also under construction remodeling their house, so our stay was hammering and sawing in the day, and into the night, where the neighbors used lights to keep working. Would not stay here again.

Cute cabin

Cabin was clean & cozy! I loved the history aspect since it was once part of the camp. However, river access was not convenient. You had to wade through a stream or trespass on neighbors property to get to it.

I do not think that the writer meant what she wrote, and did not know that what the chart stood for..ie the meaning of one star versus 5 stars. I believe that given the opportunity she would modify her review.

Great place and very clean

Check in was easy. She texted me the info the morning of checkin. Easy to find with the directions provided. It’s located close to downtown Hardy and the float place we used was within 5 minutes. There’s even a little pub across the road that we went to and sang karaoke. The cabin was quiet and didn’t have any issues at all. We used the grill to make steaks and they even had charcoal for us to use. Very happy with the stay. We will be back!!!

Informative host

Helpful, friendly host. We were the first to rent the cabin for the season. The cabin did not smell musty or "closed-up". I expected it to smell like it handy been aired out, etc, but no such smell. Also, no smoking allowed in cabin, so we didn't have to deal with that leftover enclosed nicotine smoke smell. There was a little charcoal left over in the screened-in porch and we grilled steaks. It was a little cold to get in the river but we did have a look. Clean, the bed had a mattress topper that was very comfortable for my back. My husband hated the thick pillows but that's just a matter of preference. That's why I bring my own pillow with me where ever i travel.

Hardy..cute and quaint

We had a great time in Hardy. Cute little shops, friendly people, and floating the river was very fun. If you are wanting to get away to where tome forgot this is the place! The cabin..looked quite run down on the outside however the inside was very clean and homey. The keyless entry worked when it decided to. The owner was very nice when we spoke with her about it but our cell service was shotty at best there. It was overall a great experience
