Short stay

This cabin was just what we needed as we stayed a couple days on the way back home from a long trip. The location on the river was great and we enjoyed relaxing on the back deck and cooling off in the water. We loved it!

Quick Weekend Trip

We really enjoyed the cabin. The weather couldve been better but it worked out. I would say that to make the place even better is to have steps or path down to the river; Im a disabled vet and I cant walk that good anymore, but other than that we had a good time.
