The cabin is set on a beautiful setting, peaceful with the river meandering by. It was exactly what we were looking for. Cannot wait to find time to go back. The cabin was immaculate. Susan had everything you need to cook with all the way to a fire pit.

We enjoyed our girls weekend at this cozy, secluded cabin. The area is beautiful in the fall with the changing leaves and the view of the river. We found the kitchen stocked with everything we needed to make coffee and meals. It is a great place to get away and enjoy some peace and quiet. Would definitely recommend!

This is a lovely cabin. We chose it because it was so close to the river. It has a beautiful view and had a gentle slope to walk down for river access. We enjoyed a fire in the firepit on our last evening. This was a really relaxed trip.

This is an ideal spot for relaxation and peace. It’s off the beaten path, and we saw nor heard a soul while enjoying the lovely yard and it’s view of the river. The cabin is darling, was extremely clean and well equipped. Our host was terrific - quick to respond and interested in helping make our stay enjoyable. I expect we will return!

We came to the cabin hoping for a peaceful escape on the river. It did not disappoint. We enjoyed sitting in the sunroom watching the river and taking the short walk to the water. The little stone cabin was small and reflected some history. Although some history was left to admire in the other rooms, it was evident that the bathroom was nicely updated. Our host, Susan, was very helpful and pleasant to talk with.

Adorable cabin with great views!

We have stayed tons of places and this was one of the nicest places we have found. The cabin was cute and clean. The access to water was way better than we expected, it’s actually an old boat ramp. We took our chairs down and sat on the ramp, very quite and beautiful!

This cabin is BEAUTIFUL!! From the stone exterior to the river view, it was nothing less perfect. Check in was effortless, everything we needed to relax was available. We did have trouble finding extra linens for the pull-out beds, but made due with what we could find without complaint. The fire pit was probably the heart of our stay. We spent each night sitting around it enjoying the flora and fauna as the sun set and colored the sky and river. We even had deer come straight up to the patio while we were sitting there! Our stay was a "Momcation" for us to get away, relax, and recharge and this cabin was the perfect environment to do just that. We are already planning a return trip in the Spring!!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Walker Ford cabin. It was very clean and modern looking. It had all the necessary kitchen items we needed, other than salt, but not a big deal. The bed was very comfortable. I also appreciated the nice hand soap that was provided in the kitchen area and bathroom. The view of the river was amazing. The location is closely located to river resorts if visitors want to float, kayak, canoe, etc. There’s a Country Mart about 10 minutes down the road where we bought some groceries. Firewood is not included, so you’ll have to buy some. We visited the Onondaga State Park and visited the cave, which was super cool. It was about a 25 minute drive to the park, so not a bad drive. We were just wanting a quick getaway that wasn’t too far from home and had a nice river view. It was definitely worth it!
