Great Stay
New deck is amazing! I have stayed here many times and highly recommend. The mattresses downstairs are super comfortable and the porch is a vacation in and of itself. Bring your own paper plates, etc. if you don't want to deal with dishes because there isn't a dishwasher. Don't bring little coffee pods because it is a different type coffee maker.

Warm and Cozy With Great Views!
Warm, cozy and clean river cabin. We really enjoyed the views from the deck, playing on the rocks in the ice and snow and coming inside for hot chocolate and tea. Very comfortable beds in the two king rooms downstairs. Hope to come back in warmer seasons

3rd year staying love it here!
This is our third year in a row staying here and we absolutely love it. The deck and hot tub over looking the river is so relaxing. We enjoyed that both of the main bedrooms have had upgraded beds in the past two years. The kitchen always has everything

Awesome location! Great house and loved the river and super local food and coffee options. Enjoyed hot tub, privacy of back patio with huge river rocks was great. No biggie but bit tricky to figure out the TV. Probably good encouragement to go outside!

We really enjoyed this house. The location was amazing! Everything worked great. We noticed that the wooden fence appeared to have detached from the house, which created a small hole that could slow a dog to escape. Fortunately our dog wasn?t interested in it!
