My family had an amazing weekend at this cozy cabin. It was warm upon entering and everything was just as described from the photos and description - you just need to bring yourselves, your clothes and food. There was plenty of space for 10 of us and two dogs. We especially loved the porch area and the river right in the backyard! Host was very friendly and easy to contact. Would stay here again...I'm sure it would be a fun in the summer as well as Pinecrest Lake is nearby!

Our family of 10 spent 5 nights at this great cabin and loved every minute of our stay. Jim was the perfect host, available via text message throughout our stay, helping us survive a power outage and 5’ of snow. The generator kicked in right away and the heaters kept us warm and dry. Jim even came to help shovel us out once the snow stopped. It was a fun adventure!

Jim went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing stay. I took my family up to the snow for the first time and we had the trip of a lifetime. It could not have worked out better. I'm so grateful for Jim being so accommodating to us. The house is a wonderful location for fun in the snow, plenty of space but also cozy. Jim was exceptionally responsive and communicative. I cannot recommend highly enough.

This was a lovely cozy cabin. Nothing fancy, just everything you need and a really cool riverside location. Communication with Jim was also excellent. We happened to be there during a snowstorm, and he was very helpful to make sure we navigated it safely. We’d love to try to go back in the summer :)

This is by far one of the BEST VRBO rentals we have ever stayed in! We absolutely LOVED the place. It exceeded our expectations for location, amenities, cleanliness, coziness....just everything you could hope for in a rental. We will be booking again as soon as we're able.Upon driving up to the cabin, we could see that it was situated right on the riverfront as stated in the description. The cabin was clean, charming, well appointed, cozy and roomy. While we only stayed in the 1st floor, there is room upstairs for at least 8 other guests if not more and aside from the bathroom downstairs, there were 2 more full bathrooms upstairs. The sunroom off the 1st floor bedroom is so cozy and surrounded by windows to watch the beautiful river and pine trees....perfect for reading. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need for cooking. Modern countertops and appliances. Comfy couches and recliner in living room, gas fireplaces that turn on with the flick of a switch for heating. Everything is done right in this cabin.The large decks had so much room and looked out over the river & forest. The lower deck next to the river was a great place to relax, sun and fish a little. Great place to relax!Jim was a fantastic host, responded to texts about check in promptly and left us alone unless we needed anything. Just a wonderful place, wonderful and relaxing stay and overall positive experience. Can't wait to go back!

Seven of us stayed here for a couple of days before a backpacking trip. The house (more than a cabin) was roomy and very comfortable for all of us. The location right on the river was amazing, and we even pulled a couple of trout out of the pool right below the house. The house was clean and Jim was very helpful with questions, so the entire stay went without a hitch. Excellent!
