This property was a perfect 10! This property seems new. It is very clean. It has a nice living area, well furnished bedrooms, and up to date bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked w/ pots, pans, appliances. I had everything I needed to cook a full Easter dinner. The BEST part about this cabin is the location!! You don’t have to go anywhere to enjoy the outdoors. The hiking trails for Desoto falls are within walking distance. The cabin sits right on the river and provides 4 kyaks. We kayaked for hours on the river. The host is very communicative and helpful. We do VRBO a good bit and this by far has been my favorite property. We will definitely come here again.
