It's important to understand that this is an old family cabin that's 100 years old, not somebody's vacation home. The improvements to the bathrooms and the fully functional kitchen make it super comfortable. I loved that it was on the obter side of the river from the highway and behind a gate. The river kept the highway noise down. The highway is a small two lane road but gets used often enough by recreationists
There's a campground on the other r side of the river, but nobody was there so we didn't have any issues with noise from them either. The location is super convenient, far enough from town that it feels secluded but close enough to run in for water or dinner. Going the other direction, there are so many hiking trails nearby! I also loved the updated windows in the outside with the original, swing open windows in the inside. We opened out inner windows to get fresh air and listen to the creek thru the screens.
Despite it's age, this is one of the cleanest rentals I've ever stayed in. There is a lot of attention to detail. If I had to find fault with anything, it's that the water pressure is really low in the showers, but I was just greatful to have a shower so it didn't bother me. Use the shower upstairs, it heats up faster. The stove downstairs works really well, our dog loved curling up next to it. We also spent a lot of time sitting in the front porch while our dog explored the huge, beautiful yard. If we hike this area again, this would be our first choice.
