10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
This property was beautiful and the Cartecay River was amazing to stay on. It was the week of Thanksgiving and the temperature was COLD (low of 22) but the cabin stayed warm without really any issue.The decorations were lovely, the home itself had a log book going back to the late 90s detailing many of the visitors and was a great read as a fan of history.The kitchen had many of the items we needed to cook, but not all. Be prepared that you may have to buy some of the basics (oil and salt) and they had a griddle instead of a frying pan, but the kitchen itself was completely usable (we cooked Thanksgiving here).There's a wood-burning stove in the living room, but it's decorative only, so no real fireplace.Close to downtown and amenities (we had a hospital visit and the drive was less than 10 minutes) so if you need to run to the store for something, no issues at all.This property is a great one, and if we plan on coming back, this property is one we would love to revisit.

The cabin was great and appreciate it being pet friendly. One thing I want to mention is the mattress is in the master bedroom. It should be upgraded.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Cabin was very cozy. Den is roomy with plenty sitting. The river and porch was so nice and relaxing after town. Built a fire at river. Dogs loved the yard and newly built river deck. True river cabin!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2022
I was hesitant to reserve a property with zero reviews on VRBO, but the management company website had dozens of 5 star reviews for this property.
First, If you're looking for a secluded cabin the woods, this is not the cabin for you. The app won't allow me to attach photos, but there were houses very close to the property on both sides.
Defining "occasional"
The listing says enjoy the "occasional laughter of passerby's coming down the river". A tubing company just upstream launched batches of tubers every 20 minutes to float by the cabin.
Heating / Air conditioning
The downstairs (consisting of the living room, kitchen, and half bath) cooled quickly and easily; however, the upstairs (2 small bedrooms and a full bath) were easily 10-15 degrees warmer with only floor vents that did not provide much access to the cool air. They do have fans in every room, but it wasn't uncomfortable.
Know before you go
If you like to cook, be sure to bring your own spices and non-stick cooking spray. The home owner provided salt and pepper. The listing states there is no Keurig coffee maker, but there is one!
Overall the stay was pleasant. The owners communicated well and the cabin (other than its proximity to other houses) was as pictured.
