Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. The host was very responsive to questions and the property was properly adorned for stays. The river views were very peaceful and the amount of wildlife that crossed in and out of the property was delightful. On the list of stay again.

Lovely accommodations!

This is a very nice property! It is well equipped and very clean!! The beds are comfortable as is the living room furniture and we wanted for nothing. The view is spectacular and the outdoor back patio is beautiful with a picnic table, chairs available in the garage and a great fire pit. There is very little river activity so it was peaceful and the wildlife is abundant. Linda communicated quickly when I emailed her but there was no need to reach out to her once we arrived. Would definitely go back!

WOW!!! This cabin is amazing and beautiful!

This cabin and property was just breathtaking. Beautiful scenery and the pictures don’t do it justice. Definitely will be back again! Very clean cabin and the driveway was freshly plowed after fresh snowfall. Close to Trail 7 for snowmobiling.
