Whispering on the river

Cabin is in a good location, close to town. Plenty of room, exceptionally clean interior and exterior. Fun chairs overlooking the river. Very impressed! Completely furnished - all you need for a relaxing location surrounded by the tall trees swaying in the wind.

Nice small cabin

The cabin is small and it only has one bathroom, but it’s location is key. You’re very close to town and to most restaurants and local entertainment. There were two things I wasn’t crazy about: the full bed in the smaller room was a very uncomfortable and cheap bed; and there weren’t many throw-downs or comforters for everyone to warm up.

Thank you for your honest review, we will speak with the owner of the home and have these deficiencies inspected. That being said, we do not have any history of communication with you, had we known the bed was uncomfortable we could have provided your a mattress topper and had we known there were not enough blankets for your party we could have brought you some immediately. Please remember should you stay with us again we have round the clock maintenance and housekeeping staff.
