Perfect Wedding Cabins!
The two cabins were perfect for my wedding weekend! We got married at the Dam Inn and we were able to use one cabin for the bride and bridesmaids and the other for the groom and groomsmen!

Lovely property!
The pictures are completely accurate for what to expect! The property is new and clean and spacious. Check in was as easy as the owner setting an agreed upon combo to the door lock. Very close to East Branch Dam, easy access to St. Marys and a bar/restaurant in walking distance. Our family had both cabins next to each other. Highly recommend!

Wedding Weekend
This rental and location could not have been more perfect for our wedding weekend. My bridesmaids and I stayed there the night before the wedding and we used it as a getting ready spot for our bridal party the day of the wedding. The property and landscape was absolutely beautiful and so convenient for what we needed. The hosts were extremely kind and responsive! Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Perfect family staycation!
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!
