The property was perfect for our Annual Cousin Float Trip and we enjoyed being right on the river. The communication between is and the owners was the best. When we had issues they responded and resolved right away. Great stay and great hosts. Will definitely be back.

FAMILY VACATION

Overall, we had a good time. There is plenty of space for multiple activities.There are no blinds or curtains on any of the bedroom windows and there is a wrap around deck on the house. Anyone can walk by every bedroom and see inside so there is no privacy.

Great get away. Spacious house/grounds

Despite the two recent floods, we were able to still stay and enjoy our time. There was plenty to do and see. We enjoyed the decks while playing games. The concrete pad below the house was perfect for four square and corn hole. We enjoyed our last night by the fire pit with music and just relaxed. The sounds of the river were very relaxing. The house was big enough for our group of 16. We were able to be “home” away from home. Thank you for having us.

Awesome location beautiful property excellent host

Our group of 15 had a hard time finding a spot on the river that would hold all of us. But This place exceeded our expectations. The fully stocked kitchen was a delight , and the fire pit with a grill made cooking fun. Rob the owner, was always On call and the neighbors were extremely helpful. Can’t give this place enough stars. And your own private beach! Just wow. We will definitely return

The BEST cabin with the best owner!

I decided to have my wedding at this cabin. The owner went ABOVE AND BEYOND to accommodate for this event. From answering all of my questions to getting the yard ready for the weekend, I couldn’t have asked for a better cabin and owner. The cabin is absolutely stunning and very clean. It was exactly how if appears in the pictures. If you have any questions or need anything, the owner is super easy to get ahold of. I can’t rave about this cabin enough! The view of the river from the cabin is exceptional. Multiple seating areas on the front deck, back deck and below cabin provide ample space to sit and enjoy the river. I would 100% recommend this cabin.

Beautiful Riverfront home

Our Moms group stayed here and really enjoyed it. Communication was fantastic! The house looks to be newly remodeled and it is obvious the owners have put some love into it. We were the first renters of the season and there are a few kinks to be worked out but nothing awful; I have no doubt the few issues we had will be resolved. The neighbors we came across were also very polite and friendly! The river is beautiful and clear. A GREAT get-away! A couple of the bedrooms are pass through. It wasn't an issue for us, but if vacationing with multiple couples I could see it being a concern. Overall, I recommend it!

This property fully met and exceeded our expectations. It worked out perfect for our weekend. We emailed the owner to ask if he had any bags for the cornhole game and he brought out a brand new set and left them at the house while we were on our float trip. Very nice of them. We certainly didn’t expect that.
