Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(27 traveller reviews)
Great property off the beaten path yet close to town.
Wonderful get away!
Relaxing secluded location among the trees
The cabin was such a treat and worked out great for my granddaughter's graduation. We all enjoyed the cabin and location. We even had the resident deer greet us when we arrived....a real treat for me. Everything was as described and we appreciated all the conveniences. Wish the weather had cooperated so that we could have enjoyed a much anticipated evening around the fire.
Our stay was a very positive experience. Thanks.
Cozy and private
Perfect place to get away from the city and everyday hustle. Has everything you need and a wooded view to the river. My family of four loved it
Awesome cabin in the woods!
We traveled from Kansas along with our daughter and family from Colorado and had four adults and 2 children that spent a week at the cabin. We were really impressed with how updated and cozy the cabin was. Karl was great to deal through email and phone calls. Would definitely stay again.
Great first visit
The cabin was great and perfect for 4 adults. We were going to a wine festival and was the perfect place to retreat to afterwards. I wish we would have been able to stay longer and enjoy the fire pit and river! If we have to come back to area I think we would stay here again.
A Great Weekend
I had the privelege of staying at this nice, secluded cabin for 2 nights with a group of 8 guys. It was absolutely perfect for our situtation. First of all the Cabin itself is very nice. Clean, functional, well stocked bathrooms. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed plus plates, cups, and everything else. The bedrooms had nice big, clean beds and were spaced out very nice. The main room was well laid out, had a nice tv, and room for eating and hanging out.
The first thing we did was go into town to get food, drinks, etc. There is everything you need 15 minutes away driving. The ability to hang out at the cabin and not worry about space and neighbors is fantastic. You're not that far away from the next house but far enough where you are secluded, you can be noisy and do your own thing without having to worry.
Outside you have a great bonfire area, a fun wooded area to explore, a good working grill, and a deck to sit at and overlook everything. To get to the water front you just have to take a 10 minute enjoyable walk through the woods.
Basically this cabin was perfect for place for a group to hang out and not be bothered. The cabin is clean, spacious, and fully stocked. I recommend this cabin to anyone for many different purposes. Thanks to our hosts and hopefully we will make it back your way.
