The location next to the water was wonderful. We were able to see the sunset and take some great photos. The temperature had dropped but the cabin was warm and toasty.

Liked: Cleanliness
Cabins are very close to each other with little privacy. We were also surprised to find bed linens but no towels.
Nice to have a screen porch but the view was of the neighbors garbage and discarded appliances.
Good dock access to River.
Clean and comfortable for the price.
Great pizza at the River Ratz bar.

I was not aware that the property did not provide towels and wash cloths. (I didn’t read the whole description. Lesson learned). When I called about it they directed me to a stash of towels in another building. He didn’t have to do that! Great customer service!
