I will try not to gush! This is a rustic cabin with quirks. It is closer to the water than the pics show. We saw lots of wildlife INCLUDING a local Eagle both mornings either soring, perched or diving into the river. We also saw a river otter, raccoons fighting in a tree until they saw us watching, lol. We heard a few owls as well as other critters. It was SO relaxing as we watched the boaters and skiers. We will definitely stay here again. The hosts were wonderful.
