The cabin was cute .. we enjoyed the river and outdoor fire pit. The cabin is stocked with a lot to cook , but coffee was missing. Bring your own .. there’s a dollar general and general store nearby . Areas to improve- the towels were not fresh.. they smelled mildewy and the full bed mattresses were not comfortable.

Property was clean, decorated well, and nothing was left out. We planned to go to the grocery store when we got there, but realized there was not one close by. So we were happy the cupboard was already stocked with things. The next morning, we picked up what we needed at the Dollar General and Country Store next door (they had the veggies). If you aren’t wanting to be next to other campers, this is perfect. We wanted seclusion. We were not able to get the wifi to work, so no tv. But who needs tv? We enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Very quiet and secluded. The cabin is set up very nicely and the beds are comfortable. There are deer and fireflies all over the pasture in the evening and the views are spectacular.The patio was a bit disheveled and the fan did not work, but overall I didn’t mind that much. We did meet a very sweet and playful dog one evening, which I enjoyed, but people who are afraid of dogs might have trouble with it. I plan to stay here again when it’s cooler outside.

Peaceful

The property is nice and the home is a cute western theme. The river is just a short walk from the home. It is very remote and quiet. We had a visit from a neighboring pitbull. He was a sweetie and played with the 15 year old in our group.

Get Away

The facility was nice and relaxing. Amenities were accurate to the description. The hot tub and firepit were nice amenities. The check-in process was a little frustrating due to lack of communication about entry gate and code. Make sure to save all check-in data as cellular service is limited.

Alone by the River

We came to be alone, and that is what we got. The road in was rough but manageable for sure. The cabin was exactly as listed. Listening to the nearby river plus stargazing was glorious. Rustic but relaxing. Thanks for a great place to unwind.
