The place was so beautiful we plan on booking it again. It was so dog friendly and easy access! Garage spot was the best too, so easy to unload and load! Exactly as described and perfect place for a getaway.

The cabin was perfect for a fun, chill game weekend with the friends. Full kitchen, great communal rooms and enough beds and showers for all. Hosts were communicative and welcoming. We went in the wintertime, but imagine the summer is even more fun as it’s right on the river.
