This is not a fancy cabin and could use some updates, but the location is fantastic if you're looking for a private, quiet getaway. Everything was in good working order. The big yard was a surprise, nicely kept. Bring lawn games!!!

Late June on the Wapsi

Our stay was fantastic! We got to relax and enjoy the great outdoors and the cabin was really comfortable and accommodating. It has everything you need. It’s also a great centralized location for things around the area that we wanted to do. I hope to go there again as soon as possible. Thank you to our hosts!

Weekend away

Stay was great! Property was clean. We had the options to check in early! My only suggestion would be to offer wifi. None of our phones worked and we had other children we needed to check on! We will likely stay again sometime in the future!

Just perfect!

We came down for the honor float and did not want to drive back home after. We had friends in the area who also were on the committee and could use a getaway and this was perfect! I would love to have stayed longer and woke up every morning to that 3 season porch. It will definitely not be our last time staying!

Perfect getaway

We loved our stay here! Quiet, private, and lots of lawn for the littles to get their energy out. The perfect place for some relaxation. If you're sensitive to fragrances, maybe reach out ahead of time - there were a couple plug in scents going when we arrived. Kind and responsive host. We would definitely return again!

Quiet and Pretty Setting

This cabin is in a quiet setting with great views out every window. Check in was simple. It was peaceful watching the wildlife scamper and fly around an enormous freshly mowed yard on the banks of a river. The kitchen is well stocked. Be prepared for a lower maintenance road with either big rocks or sand coming into the place. No wifi/phone reception made communication nearly impossible but made jigsaw puzzles and board games more fun. Don’t forget your bug repellent!

You are getting exactly what you see on the app when it comes to this place. Was very clean and organized when we got there. There were houses that were a few hundred yards away but at the same time it felt secluded. Fishing was surprisingly good even with the water being low. Owners were clear and responded quickly to texts as well. 10/10 would do it again

We stayed at this cute cabin for a family/friend concert trip. The cabin has such charm to it. It is in a beautiful, quiet location. There is a "bridge" that some of the group wasn't quite sure they wanted to go over due to the high water... but my husband zipped right over in our Yukon. You are down in a valley and right next to the river, so a little wet and soggy (bring bug spray) but we sat out and enjoyed our evening in the side yard. The morning, we had coffee and enjoyed the porch and then was off to our adventure. We didn't need much being all adults and had a full day of concert planned. The beds are pretty comfy and the rooms are small (but once again, we didn't require much). We had a great weekend and the cabin was exactly what we needed. Thanks, for a great stay!

Beautiful modern and quiet cabin

I was looking for a cabin to stay at that still had running water and electricity. This cabin was just what I was looking for. Very well maintained with multiple bedrooms, a kitchen, washer and dryer, a grill, and a nice little TV in the living room. The air conditioning was wonderful after a walk on the trail, although it did rain that weekend so I didn't get to explore as much of the property as I had hoped to. I still have a little cell coverage with US cellular but my partner had Verizon and had to walk to the pond to check messages. I would be happy to return and stay at this lovely cabin again.

Perfect place for a weekend getaway

One can tell the cabin has recently been rehabbed. Such love and care was put into making this a clean and very attractive place. It was very thoughtfully designed. We noticed great use of small spaces. Everything is there that one needs. The cabin is secluded in tbe woods on at least 3 to 4 acres and is next to a river. It is pretty snd relaxing. My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary here and was able to unplug from everything for a few days. This is honestly one of the nicest pkaces we've stayed at. It was awesome to sit out on the screened in porch and just relax. We would definitely want to rent again if we are ever back in this area. Also, the owners were VERY responsive to a few questions we had. They are very kind to work with. We definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice secluded getaway in the country to get away from everything and take a break.

Extremely Dangerous Road to Cabin

The road to the cabin is extremely dangerous for motorcycles. Deep sand and washboard gravel on a hilly, poorly maintained narrow road that is barely wide enough for one car. My buddy turned back when we ran into sand. I made it the cabin, but I couldn't get the lock to work. There is no cell phone service so I was unable to call the owners to figure out why the lock wouldn't work. I gave up and ended up getting a hotel in another town. I was able to contact the owners after I got into town and the they were NOT helpful. I never set foot in the cabin.

This cabin is located out in the country, its not on a paved road. Not our fault you are couldn't open the key box. We went down immediately after you contacted us and worked just fine. Also not our fault your phone doesn't work in our area... When I seen you in person, I told you if you have any issues to let me know. You even knew where we lived and obligated to leave. Per our phone texts after you left. I was more than happy be help you in anyway, so don't say I wouldnt' help!!!!! Your our first complaint in 2 years and all because your scared to drive on a gravel road. Read all our great reviews and find out your the only complaint. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
