The cabin was adorable, cozy and comfortable with a beautiful property! Well appointed with all the necessities. Quick and friendly communication throughout our stay. I would warn folks that the lower level is only accessible from the outside which was not convenient on a snowy weekend, but might be fine for others.

The best place we have stayed in years. This place had everything we needed and all the extras you don’t expect. I loved all the snacks the host left for us and we all enjoyed the coffee bar. There was plenty of room for the whole group and we all enjoyed the king sized beds, the beds were comfortable and my wife loved the sheets and the comforters. We are planning a return trip w the host now. Super place. Private and plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful natural setting. The rocking chairs on the back deck were perfect. I wanna go back right now and rock the evening away in front of the fireplace.

Overall a great family stay. Cabin was clean, well-stocked, comfortable beds, and a lot of special touches throughout to make this a memorable family gathering. We made smores at the fire pit and the kids loved them. Played some cornhole and Grandpa is still the champ! This is the perfect place to spend time with family - lots of beautiful nearby parks and trails. We loved sitting on the porch in the morning sipping on our coffee watching the river below. Very peaceful! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - THANKS!

A great place!
The dwelling is excellent, and the property is lovely and private. It's a great cabin that has been beautifully furnished, and thoughtfully equipped with everything that you could possibly need. Also, Mary the property manager was very prompt in responding to questions, and was very helpful. It was a hit with all of the members of our group!!
