Definitely enjoyed the cabin...Wishing we had taken a longer trip. Although we didn't get the opportunity to use them, we appreciated that there was kayaks, fishing poles, etc. Only cabin I've stayed in around the area that offered some of the things this one did. Would absolutely look at staying here again in the future

Had a good time, however there were several issues. 1 when you first came through the front door there was a box of Narcan, the fridge and freezer had food and alcohol left in it, the front screened in porch was cluttered with a bunch of left over reno items leaving it unusable, the bbq was broken, fire pit was broken, the jacuzzi had sand in the seats and bottom along with alcohol bottle and bottle caps. I went to pull out a blanket from master bedroom only to find white stains on it.

Good, quiet place for relaxation. Host very responsive. Kitchen well stocked. Need to put up more signs and let people know that the roads are rough and best suited to a truck or SUV.
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar, 2026
Hey, thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed your stay! I will talk to the owner about adding a sign or two (thanks for the input). As for the roads, the cleaner drives a car to clean with no issues, it is bumpy and has some potholes but locals are used to living here and don’t think anything about it. Thanks again!!

The cabin is down a lovely dirt road that transitions into the secluded environment well. The kitchen is stocked with many seasonings and cooking supplies for all of the meals—the rooms are both decorated beautifully and are very cleanly.

Very well kept property. We felt right at home. Short drive to Broken Bow. Super close to the river as it’s a short walk or drive. The master bed was so uncomfortable that my husband and I had to switch to the other bedroom. Other than that, everything worked out well for our trip and we enjoyed the house and property!
