We loved the location - close to Helvetia and secluded along the river, but not too far down a country lane. The cabin had everything we needed for the weekend and we appreciated having a cozy retreat after our busy days exploring and running around. The WiFi worked well and the cabin was toasty warm the whole time. The host was friendly and welcoming in responses and answered some questions I had before booking. We’ve had a lot of snow in the past few weeks, so I was prepared to have some difficulty getting to the cabin. With the location of the cabin, it was still snowy along the river when most of the snow had melted elsewhere. It was a winter wonderland. The road to the cabin was pretty icy and snow covered, but it was also flat and not a problem for the short drive. Our SUV with AWD had no problems on the road.

Everything was perfect. Morning coffee on the deck looking over the creek. The sound of the water was so relaxing.

The location is amazing. We wanted to unplug from our busy life and get back to nature. This is the place to do it! Although sleep wasn't easy due to the beds. My husband and i are over 6ft tall and the largest bed was a full that we barely for in. In top of the size, they are very uncomfortable. The pull out couch was more comfortable. The sleeping arrangements are literally the only complaint we have. But not sleeping on vacation, makes it impossible to go back. Which makes us sad bc we gave this property 4 visits in 4 years, hoping the bed issues got resolved. Unfortunately, putting a mattress topper on a problem bed, doesn't fix it. So this was the last year we are going to be choosing this cabin for our annual family vacation.
