Diane is the hostess with the mostest! The cabin had everything you could possibly need and more. We enjoyed fishing and just sitting watching the river. The outside space is comfortable and had just enough lighting. The perfect spot for a relaxing weekend trip. Neighbors were friendly and the whole neighborhood was peaceful. Beds and other furniture were comfortable and the entire cabin was very clean.
The host was very quick with any questions we had. Gave us some great recommendations for yummy restaurants in the area. The house was very clean and was well stocked for anything you might need during our stay.

Thank you,

Everything was perfect, our host couldn't have been any nicer. House was spotless, there were snacks which was a nice addition, and the property was very pretty with it being so close to the rivers edge.
AThe house was everything they claim it to be, awesome location right on the river. Amazing views, amazing area.The house offers every ammenity, and then some. We had a slight incident at check in ( user error on my part) the host responded immediately and was so very kind & remedied the situation. The house is very comfy & cozy. Plenty of nice sheets, comforters and piles of fresh towels. Well kept & very clean. Highly recommend, great place for some R&R.
The view was beautiful, check in and check out was a breeze. The weather could have cooperated a bit more but we managed to have a bonfire in the big fire pit one night complete with s’mores! We really enjoyed our stay.
