River Rest
The cabin was beautiful, clean, and well stocked. The only complaints I have is about the "resort". It is very remote. It took us 30 min to get from downtown to the cabin. The resort is massive and nothing is close in proximity. It was a 20 min drive to the rec center and longer for the outdoor pools. This was not clearly described in the booking details. BUG SPRAY IS A MUST!

We had an amazing stay and the location was perfect. Awesome view and a cozy welcoming feel. We hope to return. The hot tub was a hit for the kids, as well as the play house, hammocks, Guess Who and ping pong table. The cabin was spotless and the perfect size for our family to have a Thanksgiving getaway! The trees with the changing leaves were beautiful around the house. The owners did a wonderful job creating an experience to remember. Kudos! Communication was quick and easy with owners, if needed. The property was well equipped with everything we needed!

Awesome cabin in a great location
Cabin was exactly as we expected. The views of the river were fantastic. Like that it’s sort of a gated community, no traffic. Lots of deer and wildlife to see driving through. Overall, we were extremely pleased. Thank you
