Beautiful property, right on the river. Lots of lovely, outdoor seating. The host was very helpful. Note to future renters: you do have to request for the kayaks to be brought over in advance. We were sad to miss those.

Diane is the hostess with the mostest! The cabin had everything you could possibly need and more. We enjoyed fishing and just sitting watching the river. The outside space is comfortable and had just enough lighting. The perfect spot for a relaxing weekend trip. Neighbors were friendly and the whole neighborhood was peaceful. Beds and other furniture were comfortable and the entire cabin was very clean.

Great stay

Everything was perfect, our host couldn't have been any nicer. House was spotless, there were snacks which was a nice addition, and the property was very pretty with it being so close to the rivers edge.

The view was beautiful, check in and check out was a breeze. The weather could have cooperated a bit more but we managed to have a bonfire in the big fire pit one night complete with s’mores! We really enjoyed our stay.
