In a word, SERENE. The location was heavenly! There were people in the adjoining unit but we never heard them, probably due to the sweet sound of the river. Everything was clean and so comfy. They do themselves a disservice by listing the second bedroom as a “twin”. The bunk beds are at least full size, maybe queen. We will definitely stay here again when back in the area.

Perfect Bride and Groom Cabin!
We used both cabins as a space for us to stay overnight and get ready for our wedding day at the Dam Inn! One cabin we used for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready and the other we used for the groom and groomsmen!

The cabins are very nice. It is very difficult to sleep 9 people with the layout. The bunk beds are very small and do not fit two adults very comfortable.

Beautiful Cabins
We absolutely loved staying in these cabins! They were beautiful inside, the beds were comfortable, the space clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The access to the river was perfect for kayaking and tubing. The fire pit and pavilion were situated perfectly for spending time with family in the evening or having a peaceful cup of coffee in the morning. Many of us are local to the area, but this felt like a true vacation destination even though we were just a short drive from home. We really enjoyed our weekend here and are already planning our next trip!

Amazing place!
We were in town for a family reunion about a mile away and this cabin was absolutely perfect! Not only is in spectacular shape, the outdoor area is peaceful and so fun. Brandon was fantastic and I could not recommend this place more. We will absolutely be back every year for the family reunion (and maybe even another time too)!

Right on the River
We have been visiting this area to fish for years. When we spotted these new cabins in the spring, we knew we wanted to stay here! Everything is new and the location cannot be beat! Easy access to the East Branch of the Clarion River. If you're not in the mood to cook, it is a short drive to The Dam Inn. Bendigo State Park is less than 3 miles away or take a short drive to East Branch Dam and Lake. Of course, I wouldn't blame you if you never left the cabin...the view from the cabin and fire pit can't be beat! We saw an otter swim up the river both mornings we were there. I cannot say enough good things about this property! We will be back!

Perfect Venue and Accommodations!
We hosted a birthday party with a large group of people, including lots of young children, and this venue is absolutely perfect for everyone to enjoy. The cabins were gorgeous, very clean, spacious and easily usable for people of all ages. Highly recommended checking this place out!! We will be back!
