We enjoyed this little but cozy cabin. The host live next door, I thought this was going to be a little uncomfortable but contrary to that the host was very friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay on the water.

We could tell by the listing that this place met all of our requirements, plus it seemed to have great outdoor space to enjoy the fishing and enjoying the great weather with each other.Ray's check in process could not be more simple and he was a friendly, and helpful host. He lives next door but does not intrude. We opted to sleep in the single beds right off the living area. They were very comfortable to us.We will definitely try to stay with Ray in the future if we come back to this area.

Fishing Cabin

The fishing pier was close to the cabin and had a place to clean the caught fish. There was plenty of shade in the backyard with a picnic table, swing and chairs.The kitchen was supplied but the cutting knives were not sharp so you may want to bring your own knife.

One more off the 'bucket list'

First trip to the Arroyo was everything that we expected, caught several trout and a few keepers to take home. Cabin was great and fishing dock was excellent, a nice breeze kept the mozzies at bay. Will do it again when the chance comes along.
