The house is adorable and has everything you need! The babbling river was so nice too! The beds were comfortable too. The technology in the house was also cool! Just a tip to hopefully save someone the trouble we had- it was very snowy when we were there and along one side of the driveway there are large rocks. The rock closest to the road was disguised by dirty snow and we backed into it and damaged our mud flap. Just wanted to make other renters aware.

Perfect Family Getaway by the River

We had an amazing experience staying at this cabin near the river. The place was spotless and well maintained clearly a lot of care went into making sure guests feel at home. The host thought of everything you could possibly need, which made the stay even more relaxing. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, just what we were looking for.My family really enjoyed the time there, especially the kids. Their favorite part was getting wet and splashing around in the river. The water was knee-deep in some spots not quite deep enough for fishing, but it was perfect for them to cool off from the summer heat. We’ll definitely be back!Activity wise, the kids had a blast playing board games, we took a short trip to Blackwater Falls just 30 minutes away, and wrapped up our evenings enjoying the fire pit by the river. We’ll definitely be back!

Excellent River Property

We had an amazing stay at this property. The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything you need for your stay. Although small, it was perfect for 3 adults to share. Loved the fire pit area and outdoor space. Checking in and out was a breeze with simple clean-up procedures when leaving. If you are looking for a home base to fish, hike or just to relax then this is the cabin for you. Highly recommend this pet friendly cabin.

A wonderful place!

This was quite possibly the best Vrbo that we've ever stayed in. I contacted the manager twice while we were there, and received immediate responses. The hospitality from the management team was outstanding. The thought put into of every detail, and what a guest would want and need, exceded our expectations. The porch was a magnificent place to spend any part of the day!

Perfect getaway

We stayed at this beautiful property for my son’s birthday; going sledding at Blackwater State Park while there. This was one of the cleanest homes we’ve ever stayed in. It was well stocked with everything needed, there were lights installed along the stairway for nighttime trips to the bathroom, the porch was nice for my wife to sit on and read while listening to the river rushing past. Everyone had such a nice time and the host was very friendly, welcoming, and responsive. He also left recommendations for us and one was a pizza joint the kids were crazy about nearby. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip!
