We all enjoyed our stay at this cabin. We loved going down to the river access and appreciated the kayaks for our use. The sweet neighbor's dog was a bonus. The cabin was clean, the property was well set up and the kitchen was more stocked than anticipated. We plan to visit again in the fall.
Everything was great! The property was perfect for me and my kids. Love how close you are to the river. It is secluded and everything we needed for a weekend getaway!

Nice stay close to everything we even had a sweet dog that would stop by in the morning and then in the evening over all it was a nice time
Definitely enjoyed the cabin...Wishing we had taken a longer trip. Although we didn't get the opportunity to use them, we appreciated that there was kayaks, fishing poles, etc. Only cabin I've stayed in around the area that offered some of the things this one did. Would absolutely look at staying here again in the future

Glad you enjoyed your stay!! Hope everything is okay, and thanks for the review!
Great little cabin in a very remote area. The drive back and forth to broken bow lake was little more than we intended it to be. Great access to the river and all the amenities needed to have a great time.

Good, quiet place for relaxation. Host very responsive. Kitchen well stocked. Need to put up more signs and let people know that the roads are rough and best suited to a truck or SUV.

Hey, thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed your stay! I will talk to the owner about adding a sign or two (thanks for the input). As for the roads, the cleaner drives a car to clean with no issues, it is bumpy and has some potholes but locals are used to living here and don’t think anything about it. Thanks again!!
Glad you enjoyed your stay!! Thanks for the review!

Had a good time, however there were several issues. 1 when you first came through the front door there was a box of Narcan, the fridge and freezer had food and alcohol left in it, the front screened in porch was cluttered with a bunch of left over reno items leaving it unusable, the bbq was broken, fire pit was broken, the jacuzzi had sand in the seats and bottom along with alcohol bottle and bottle caps. I went to pull out a blanket from master bedroom only to find white stains on it.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about these issues. I’ve shared your comments with our housekeeping and maintenance teams so everything can be addressed. The Narcan is part of our emergency first-aid supplies, but I understand it may have been unexpected. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.
The cabin is down a lovely dirt road that transitions into the secluded environment well. The kitchen is stocked with many seasonings and cooking supplies for all of the meals—the rooms are both decorated beautifully and are very cleanly.

Our stay was great! Very clean and had plenty of room for our kids to run. The fire pit was great for making smores and cooking supper. Best part was the fire wood already being available for us!
