Our stay was very nice. We didn’t however have any kitchen towels or dishcloths or any hand towels for the bathrooms. We were supposed to clean before we left but found no cleaning supplies. I cleaned the best I could with paper towels and hot water.

My friend and I wanted a quiet weekend away to just catch up and recharge. This cabin was perfect for that. A little weird that we needed to bring our own sheets and towels but we loved our stay.

Wonderful place to stay. The host was very responsive and even gave us a tour of the property. This will definitely be a repeat visit. The river was way to fast for the family to fish in but in the same area is a swamp and it was perfect for letting the kids fish!

This property is simply peaceful, from the ease of access to constant contact with the host!! Everything was perfect. A much needed getaway in a perfectly placed house in the woods on the river!! Nothing more serene.
