Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. The host was very responsive to questions and the property was properly adorned for stays. The river views were very peaceful and the amount of wildlife that crossed in and out of the property was delightful. On the list of stay again.

WOW!!! This cabin is amazing and beautiful!

This cabin and property was just breathtaking. Beautiful scenery and the pictures don’t do it justice. Definitely will be back again! Very clean cabin and the driveway was freshly plowed after fresh snowfall. Close to Trail 7 for snowmobiling.
