The town consists of the gas station, hardware store, the rental cabins, tavern, and the inn. The hardware store is open seasonally, as well as the hardware items there is a sweet bakery inside as well. The gas station Caids has been around about as long as we have, you can find your gas station snacks and some grocery essentials, they DO NOT have diesel REG and REC only. The Lovells Riverside Tavern is known for is amazing atmosphere and equally amazing food, hosting live entertainment every weekend, the patio can be viewed by the riverfront.

There are several items we provide for our guests to utilize during their stay; two grills with propane, ashtrays, patio furniture, outdoor seating, campfire roasting spears, fire wood is provided mildly but should not be expected.

When you walk in you will first be greeted by the cozy kitchen with a sink window peering over to the forest and river bank. All kitchen essentials are provided for your cooking and baking needs. We do provide dish washing essentials, and coffee during your stay. The kitchen opens up directly to the living area with the couch to your right and the dining table with television to your left. Turning the left corner you will come across the full bathroom with standing shower, filed with your bathing essentials. Both bedrooms are located on that side of the cabin as well, each have two windows and full beds, however the most amazing view is to be found from the dining table out the main window facing the river. In this cabin you will really have the best of both the wilderness and the riverfront.
