Beautiful Riverfront Cabin Catering to Travelers, Anglers, Hunters, Birders!
Riverfront, nostalgic and peaceful! Cozy, comfortable, clean cabin. This Riverhouse is suitable for traveling workers including technicians and nurses! We give a substantial discount for month stays! We also encourage weekly stays with discounts! Message me with any questions on longer stays! Tasty, clean, softened well water, whole-house water filter, with a large reliable generator as a backup power source in the event of an ice storm or tornado. Be aware the steps to the river are under extreme duress during high water seasons creating a step maintenance challenge. If you have mobility disparities the steps to the river may not work for you. I probably have some of the best steps on the river, but they are far from perfect. I just want to clarify this- if you are an angler or a hiker or outdoorsman you will appreciate them. If you are expecting perfect concrete steps these are not those. The Internet service available is Starlink, and the Roku TV connects to it. Verizon does have service. T Mobile and AT&T are both spotty at best. This is not the place to run games that require massive downloads of data, Starlink will slow after priority data is used. There are ice trays in the freezer. There is a coffee pot with coffee and filters. There is a Blackstone grill in the garage. Orkin controls the bug population as this is a rural, woodsy area. The garage is available to use and a great place to store your gear. We no longer have a propane bbq unit due to previous misuse and safety issues and it has been replaced with a Blackstone Grill. There are two picnic tables in the garage, a large cooler, and soft evening lighting available. This is not the Hilton, it is a river cabin, designed to be used by those who value a clean, cozy, woodsy cabin experience in a beautiful setting. When I say the kitchen is furnished that means I have very basic cooking items. I do not have an icemaker machine, we use ice trays. Please don’t expect this cabin kitchen to be stocked up like your own. If you are cooking large meals and are a chef please bring items you may need with you.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The cabin was very clean, cozy, and peaceful! So relaxing being by the river. The kids loved kayaking. Loved that the cabin was out of town and had privacy. The host was very friendly and was timely on responses. We had to come down for my uncle's funeral and we realized that our family was from the same area as the host. Thanks again for letting us stay at your beautiful cabin! We plan on staying again in the future!
Cozy cottage on the river. Lovely swing to sit and watch the sun rise. Quiet, but make sure you bring groceries as there is not a store. We had to go about 30 minutes to get food. Only one restaurant in the town.
