The cabin was super cute and right on the river. Everything was clean and comfortable. Day checked in with us often, to make sure we were doing well. The only downsides was there is no couch in the cabin and the driveway is super steep. We would definitely stay here again.

Although the directions were a little confusing, the host reached out to us before it was an issue and was very helpful. The only thing that would have made the stay better would be an easier way to walk down to the dock. Overall, even with the confusing directions and difficulty getting down to the dock I would recommend it to others and I would stay there again.
