Beautiful rustic cabin with all the modern amenities. The lawn and landscaping is beautiful. The view of the river was the back porch was sensational. We had a great stay! The kitchen could use a cutting board but otherwise it was well equipped. Fred Fuller

Absolutely fantastic! Checkin was super easy and the owners shared lots of valuable info about the property and surrounding area. The views of the river from the porch and windows were fantastic. Having the grill near the fire pit was a great amenity for conversation and views. The four beds were great. We were incredibly satisfied with our trip and this cabin is a fantastic value!! Can’t wait to stay again!

We love this place. One can't find a better place to fish, that's for sure. And so much shore to walk. Amazing! The cabin's wrap-around deck offers an outstanding view of the river and it is so peaceful. After a fun day of fishing off the shore or in the river, your clean, comfortable cabin is the perfect ending for a perfect day.Paula, your host, is fantastic at communication and quick to reply. You don't find that all VRBO's. We will definately be back.
