Nice stay but no wifi

Good location, great value but no wifi. Wifi is very important in this location given how crappy the cellular coverage is in the entire region.

Playin Hooky 2

Stay was great. Right on the river. VRBO lists the cabins by name as individual locations so it's a bit complicated to Google. Just make sure you Google map the name of the lodge, not the cabin. Owner was available by phone all the time and the staff was great.
