Just What We Were Looking For
Review Submitted: September 21, 2009

After countless hours of searching for the kind of place we wanted I took a chance on this one. The next time we want to get away I will start with this cabin's availability calendar and hope it is open! If it is - we will be there!
It isn't as secluded as you would expect for 8 acres, the closest neighbor is across the river within sight but not close. The road to the cabin is dirt but other than one good sized dip it is easy (and I drive a Mitsubishi Eclipse, not a Jeep!) It's a short drive from the main road to the cabin.
Getting to the cabin the first thing that strikes you is its nearness to the river. All I can say is ahhhh. The long covered deck invites you to sit and watch the river. Once inside you finnd that it is wonderfully clean, uncluttered, yet with all the appliances you could need.
As it was just the two of us we didn't need the upper bedroom, but if we take either of our adult kids with us this would be ideal. It is private, has it's own bathroom, fireplace, sitting area with books, and it shares the same long deck and river view.
We found only two negatives with this cabin, one of which could be a positive for some people, but even with these two things we would be back in a heartbeat, and it still gets 5 out of 5 because the pros so far outweigh the two cons. The main bedroom is squeaky. Its floor squeaks between the main door and the nearest side of the bed and the mattress squeaks if you sit or turn over on the bed. It was very comfortable, just noisy. There is no quietly entering or exiting the room, or turning over on the bed. The second is the quietness of the house. Being that close to the river and yet not being able to hear it inside, and with no screens on the windows to be able to leave one partially open to be able to hear the river while you sleep was sad. It was restful though.
This little cabin is a jewel of a place and we hope to return often. Loved it!! Simply loved it. Loved the river, the wood panelling which was warm and appealing, the small deep jacuzzi, the deck with chairs, the firepit right next to the river, and all the convenient comforts of this well furnished home away from home. The only true negative was that we had to leave.
