We truly enjoyed our stay at Cabin on the cove. The house was extremely clean and obviously loved by the owner. Apparently the downstairs bedroom is all new and the kitchen has been remodeled. That is evident as everything feels fresh. We enjoyed cooking dinner and hanging out at the large island- the open layout makes hanging out and preparing dinner a fun event. We will definitely book here again. The fire pit is also very well built.

Cute River Access Cabin

Very cute cabin! Beautiful deck and cute River access point. The dock area however was a little nasty so we walked half a block to the dock and chose to swim there instead. We did think the neighborhood was a little bit more secluded based off the pictures. The neighbors were a little close. We didn't really mind it, but we were looking for a little bit of better Lake access/ river access and a little bit more seclusion but the cabin itself was amazing. Had everything you needed and more.

We had an issue with our stay (unrelated to the home or the host), and the host graciously helped us figure it out. We are truly greatful for her kindness and would certainly consider and recommend one of her two beautiful properties (just book through a non-vrbo option).

Cozy gathering space

The property suited us perfectly. My wife and I were traveling with 3 small kids so the two beds, 1 bath was more than adequate. We really thought the upstairs bedroom was ideal. There’s one full or queen ned with two twins on either side that was perfect for our kids. Booking, arrival and departure couldn’t be easier. Newer TV allowed us to ApplePlay some shows for the kids while we prepared dinner. Overall the house was very clean with only a few minor updates needed. The value was great! Of minor note, I wish the fire pit area was better structured. The fire pit itself was a shallow ring of rocks so I was afraid a spark or errant flame might catch the surrounding leaves on fire. I also had to clean all the fallen leaves and wet, burnt remains out of the pit. There was wood supplied which was great but it was also wet so hard to start a fire. Also the back could only be accessed by going around the house as there was no access to the outdoor space from inside. These are minor however, and our stay was perfect!

Good stay

Cabin is located in a fairly quiet neighborhood and has a number of other houses very close by. Just typical neighborhood noise so not a big deal. I think everyone was just glad that fall in AR had finally arrived, and they were getting things done outside and enjoying the weather, as we also did while enjoying the deck! Cabin was pretty clean and has everything needed. We never left and cooked all meals there. The bed is comfortable with good quality linens, but it is not a queen size - it is a double/full size (measured it), so it's small for two people. There's plenty of closet space in the bedroom as well. The TV is internet based, so it takes getting used to if you're not already. I'm farily tech savvy, so I figured it out. The internet kept going out on day 1 (not owner's fault - that's just internet for you), but fortunately was working on day 2, so we were able to watch a lot of football all day on a very nice quality screen in the living room. We really appreciated the large bathroom with quality fixtures and lighting, along with super fluffy towels. Only suggestions would be to place a queen sized bed in the main bedroom and add either a dish drying rack or mat in the kitchen for use after washing dishes.
