Awesome quiet getaway. Beautiful scenery, right on the river.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The cabin was very cute and cozy and on a pretty setting overlooking the river. My only problem is that there is no WIFI and the cell service is VERY limited. There was no cell signal at all inside the cabin for my Verizon phone and my girlfriend's ATT service connected inside, but wasn't strong enough to run a hotspot.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2025
Property was clean and enough space for our family. On arrival grass was extremely long, we had to use a yard bug spray. No propane to use the grill as stated in the listing, an empty tank was left to be filled, what an inconvenience. No firewood. Although this house sits on the river, absolutely no river access, it’s a straight drop off to the river, so don’t plan on getting off or on the river near this house. Never stayed at a rental that offered absolutely no amenities.
