This cabin was located on a beautiful stretch of the Cartecay River. The views from the back decks are amazing! The cabin is also very spacious and provides all the needed amenities!
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
The perfect getaway for or family of 5 and dog! We have 3 boys and they absolutely loved the access to the river for fishing and playing by the fire. The house was cozy and clean and had more than enough room to fit us comfortably. Close to some main attractions and great hikes. Our only discomfort were all the spider webs on the porch. This made it a little hard to relax out there. Otherwise a fantastic trip and would recommend this location!

6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
Beautiful cabin with the creek/river right below us. It was very peaceful. Lots to do nearby activities and shopping. Our family e hours out stay! A few kinks No curtains in the bedroom I stayed in or blinds over the windows. Morning sun became an issue. None in the den either. Which was great for the den/kitchen area because lighting was poor for cooking We noticed a leak under the sink in the kitchen and could only use one side of the sink Trash was knocked over every night. It needs to be more secured. Wonderful cabin just needs a little more TLC
