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.

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!!
Great communication. Cabin was perfect and just what I expected. Loved everything about it and the surrounding area. Would love to stay again in the future.
We had an amazing time staying at this place. Very relaxing. The cabin had all the amenities we needed and everything was in order. Thank you to the host for making us feel at home.

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!

Glad you enjoyed your trip!! Thanks for the tip on the master bed, I’ll have it checked and replaced if it’s necessary. I do think it’s the same as the guest bedroom but I’ll double check it, thanks!!
Our stay was great! Very clean and had plenty of room for our kids to run. The fire pit was great for making smores and cooking supper. Best part was the fire wood already being available for us!

Roomy cabin with excellent décor. Fantastic air conditioning. Loved the hot tub and the fire pit. Got many pictures of birds and butterflies at the river access. Great stay!

The property was perfect!! We arrived late at night and it was a bit difficult to find, once through the gate. But the place was great! Hot Tub worked great! Beautiful location. There were other homes closer than what appeared in the aerial view, while booking. But they are far enough away that you have zero interaction! There were deer all over the property and the river was too far to get to! Place was clean and very comfortable! Perfect stay!

The cabin was cute .. we enjoyed the river and outdoor fire pit. The cabin is stocked with a lot to cook , but coffee was missing. Bring your own .. there’s a dollar general and general store nearby .
Areas to improve- the towels were not fresh.. they smelled mildewy and the full bed mattresses were not comfortable.
