We all enjoyed our stay at this cabin. We loved going down to the river access and appreciated the kayaks for our use. The sweet neighbor's dog was a bonus. The cabin was clean, the property was well set up and the kitchen was more stocked than anticipated. We plan to visit again in the fall.

Definitely enjoyed the cabin...Wishing we had taken a longer trip. Although we didn't get the opportunity to use them, we appreciated that there was kayaks, fishing poles, etc. Only cabin I've stayed in around the area that offered some of the things this one did. Would absolutely look at staying here again in the future

Great little cabin in a very remote area. The drive back and forth to broken bow lake was little more than we intended it to be. Great access to the river and all the amenities needed to have a great time.

Good, quiet place for relaxation. Host very responsive. Kitchen well stocked. Need to put up more signs and let people know that the roads are rough and best suited to a truck or SUV.

Hey, thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed your stay! I will talk to the owner about adding a sign or two (thanks for the input). As for the roads, the cleaner drives a car to clean with no issues, it is bumpy and has some potholes but locals are used to living here and don’t think anything about it. Thanks again!!

The cabin is down a lovely dirt road that transitions into the secluded environment well. The kitchen is stocked with many seasonings and cooking supplies for all of the meals—the rooms are both decorated beautifully and are very cleanly.
