We had a great time with our kids. Because the cabin is one room and the bathrooms are across the way in the silos, it almost felt like camping. We loved being so close to the river for swimming and fishing. We were very comfortable and had zero complaints. We're already talking about when we can come back!

We were here many years ago during the winter. I have always wanted to come back during the summer. We came out for my birthday with my children and grandchildren. We all had the best time. The water was perfect for swimming and kayaking. I definitely feel like this is the best place on the river to swim and kayak. There are several large rocks on the other side of the bank where our grandchildren were jumping from. The deck is amazing. We were surprised by a swamp cooler that made it perfect for sitting on the porch evening during the afternoon. This cabin is full of so much character. I love the silo's that they turned into restrooms and a shower. This is a perfect getaway and was great for a family gathering/party. Perfect place to get away, enjoying nature, read, play games, and to enjoy the company of friends and family. This host has a couple cabins on the river. We are planning on coming back soon for our families September birthdays. I invited a friend out and she booked the cabin for her family while she was here.
