The house was nice, very unique cabin with a lot of detail on the woodwork. The view was beautiful. Access to the river wasnât great especially for kayaks/boats. That was not a surprise as other reviews stated that. The air conditioner did not keep the house cool. It kept freezing and shutting down even when we set the temperature over 70 degrees as instructed. We encountered an ant issue in and around the house. We kept all of our food in the refrigerator to keep the ants away. You couldnât leave any food on the counters , even for a short period of time before the ants made their way over to it. The driveway needs some work. Itâs very steep and covered in gravel and hard to navigate. The area is very nice and this place has a lot of potential.
We spent a rainy weekend here for a nearby trail challenge. It was great to have a warm dry place. The cabin was well stocked for cooking and hanging out. My favorite part was the fire ring and wood for a fire.
This wooden cabin was perfect for our small family. It was well equpped for cooking. We brought water for drinking/cooking but the owner also provided it
We came after the heavy rain so the access to the river was hard for us, the ground was very wet on the shore.
Excellent updatedl cabin on the water that is comfortable & peaceful. We enjoyed every minute of our stay either canoeing, fishing, or playing horseshoes, this cabin has it all! The Lions Den icecream-restaurant down the road was an added treat when in need for something sweet! Thank you for an epic getaway.
Pros: Beautful deck view and location with lots of bears around. Convenient canoe launch 4 miles up river for atleast an easy access to the river on 1 end. Seen 2 bears in and around the water on our evening float. Caught a good bit of small bass
Cons: lots of steep steps to get kayaks up and down. Alot of falling hazards for toddlers between the steep drop of the deck, and some of the wooden railings inside the house. Its a good spot for adults an grown kids. Not so much for toddlers without constant worry. Microwave stopped working the first night. No cell service incase of an emergency. And there was quite a bit of ants in the kitchen area
Had a big bear beside the firepit the first morning of the trip
This spacious cabin was just perfect for a weekend getaway. Very clean and well appointed and the owner Rocco is a good communicator. We would definitely book again!
This is my second visit to this property and we will certainly return. Great location with a ton of privacy and amazing view. The cabin is clean and comfortable. Neighboring towns and area has plenty of amenities. The host if friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.
Beautiful Property water was gorgeous and the property owner was very helpful, Directions were spot on and the seclusion was amazing, Nothing but you and nature out there.
A couple small gripes about having to take your own trash with you leaving etc. But, thats really not that big of a deal.
The stairs were a bit of a Hike (Hauling 7 Kayaks/Canoes up them was a bit difficult)
and right at the water could not get the flies to stop biting at certain times Might have just been a bad week for them.
Great location on the river. I would recommend bringing drinking water as the property has well water that has that sinature sulfur smell. The coffee maker only supplies 2 cups at atime. Cool area with magnificent hiking. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thanks!
Clean, cute and well appointed cabin.
Make sure you bring your smart TV app logins if thatâs important to you.
Great location to float on river. Close to Hyner View and Good Neighbor Craft House.
Our group had a great stay at the cabin. It was very clean and comfortable. The location is extremely quiet and peaceful with no other people in the vicinity. The floor plan is open as we expected, and all beds are located in two open lofts above the living room. The bedding was comfortable and had no problem getting great rest overnight. The cabin is supplied with everything we needed even some basic cooking necessities which was much appreciated. The area did lose power the first night, and the cabin was equipped with several lanterns/flashlights. That helped greatly. The outside area was well kept, and firewood was provided. There are plenty of steps to make on your way down to the river. The surrounding area has more plant coverage than the pictures, but that was expected since we stayed in July. The path to the river from the stairs is wide and greatly maintained, though. It's a nice walk. The water was quite warm and seemed warmer than the air temperature in the evenings. The water in front of the property had areas to wade comfortably and had areas deep enough to float on a tube. We were able to walk completely across the river at points. Multiple smallmouth bass on the smaller side were caught right in front of the cabin by just taking a few casts. It's a great place to stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to book it again.
There is no one around. This is GREAT!! Long steps to the water, not so good. Ants, big ones, but not too many. House water never got hot, just warm. House water also stinks like sulfur.
We did enjoy ourselves - myself, wife, and two teenage girls. We recommend a trip to Hyner View to watch the sunset. Kayaking the river, 3 miles, took forever as the river runs slowly. I did fish from a kayak in the "cove" area and caught several small, small mouth bass. River was very low, I could walk the whole way across if I wanted to.
Cottage is nice, no wi-fi which was OK for me. There is NO privacy inside, so don't expect any. I enjoyed getting up every morning and having coffee and watching the river flow.
OH, we did see a bald eagle land down at the waters edge. I tried to get close to get pictures, but you know how that is.
We thank you for the use of the cottage. Unfortunately this is not a place where we would return.
