About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Green, unique, comfortable, open loft cabin

Welcome to an exquisite, eco-friendly way of vacationing and getting away from it all! From its solar water heat to the recycled lumber, this cabin packs many eco-sensitive features to bring you comfort in style. Its artistic flair can be experienced in everything in the handcrafted countertops, the exquisite tree staircase, and right down to the mosaic bathroom floor. You'll be pleasantly toasty in the winter with the radiant heat and gas fireplace. Plenty of windows and open floorplan keeps the space light-filled throughout the day.

Need to unwind? Let the jacuzzi massage the tension away. Read a book in the airy loft. Watch a DVD. Or simply take a walk to the neighboring Cameron House (on the same property).

Biking, canoeing, trout fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, are a few activities for you to enjoy on your vacation.

Eco Sensitive: This cabin was built in 2008 using sustainably harvested trees. The roof substructure and all major beams were repurposed from older buildings in the area. The building is mainly insulated with a green, soy-based spray foam insulation which keeps the interior warm and quiet.

The radiant heat and water heating system is powered through a solar / gas-boiler combination system. All makes for a quiet, even heat that foot-warming friendly. It keeps the air more comfortable and less dusty in the winter when compared to forced-air systems. This is a boon for those with indoor allergies and asthma.

Such a charming cabin! It was cozy, and perfectly tucked away by the river — We loved relaxing on the porch and taking in the beautiful scenery. The hosts were friendly and responsive, and everything was exactly as described. This was our friend groups second time staying here and we can’t wait to come back!

This property has a unique setting in the river and in the woods. It is relaxing and peaceful. There are so many unique features throughout the cabin. The property managers are friendly and very responsive when answering questions. Beautiful place for a family gathering, especially with the large dining room table. Bonus of outside seating too, if you want to dine outside in the right season. Thank you for a lovely stay!

A unique retreat

The Amherst Riverdance Cabin is a lovely, unique surprise tucked away in the country, amongst trees, a prairie, and a winding river. The cabin was decorated with many surprise items and was clean, comfortable, and homey. We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit and relaxing on the back porch. We would definitely come again!

Riverdance

This is a wonderfully unique "cabin". Cabin is what they call it but it's much more than that. Check-in was as easy as can be. We received an email in advance telling us to simply walk in and where we could find the key and other pertinent information. The property manager answered the phone every time I called which was which was only a couple times and about minor stuff. We got the impression from the Vrbo description that laundry was an amenity. It isn't. There is a laundromat a couple miles away. There is also very noticeable road noise from nearby Hwy 10.
