We love that it was pet friendly. We also love this home as it was nice and clean and very private. Everything was comfortable and it was like being at home away from home. The roads were a little narrow and steep for us, but after a few tries, we were OK with it.

The amenities were great, and the property was beautiful, but I would recommend renting from private owners within the property due to some problems I had with the resort renters. The resort changed our listing and after we paid a higher price to get a river view room, we were given a Mountain View. When we asked the resort to help us straighten things out they refused to make it right.

The overall property was amazing- so quiet and peaceful. We saw countless deer and were able to enjoy a stunning view of the sunset every evening. The villas are dated. Which is fine and do-able…however, the pungent mildew smell was more than I could bear. It is not only the smell but the toxins from either the mold or fungi that it’s coming from; my body began swelling, could not stop sneezing, eyes watering, etc. Would love to come back but please do something about this. It is simply hazardous for your guests to constantly breathe in these toxins.

The property itself is beautiful. The ride up to it is a nightmare. If I had of known what it took to get to this cabin, I definitely would have stayed elsewhere. I had planned to shop while my husband worked, my vehicle never left the small one space till the day we both left. I rode with him everywhere because of the confusing and twisting roads up to cabin. He was offered no help when he came in at night either by the lady in the “welcome” shack. I don’t think she knew either, she just handed him back the paper and said “it’s on there”. Had one nice man named Randy let my husband park his cargo trailer down the hill and he was always helpful. Found an old washcloth in cabin left behind and the door kept locking us out so we found if you had a credit card you could use it to open it back up. That sure isn’t safe. No deadbolts on either door. River is close by if you like that to float down or fish. The deck was nice but your neighbors to the left and right can see you from theirs. I’ve never understood why you pay to have it cleaned behind you but you have to clean it pretty much yourself before you leave. This is the kind of review I wished I would have seen before I booked this cabin.

Loved the location on the river with a great enclosed deck to view it from. Swing and rapids relaxed us like a meditation. Even for two nights this place recharged and refreshed us. Wineries and Hitching Post pizzas were the adventure and the fire pit a great place to watch river floaters and wild life.
