Summary: I stayed here to get away from the noise of life for a few days. I can't say this cabin was conducive to that. I did not realize there is a 10-foot or more drop down to the river, or that there is nowhere to walk on the property, or that the road is right behind the cabin. The noise of the traffic was incredibly loud, especially the motorcycles. That being said, once I adjusted my attitude, it was a decent stay. The view from the porch is lovely, with fish jumping in the river and birds flying up close and resting on the railing. The cabin was clean and had everything I needed. It's the perfect size for 1 or 2 people. The bed is quite comfortable and naps were enjoyed. The host was very responsive when questions arose. The wifi worked well (no phone signal, so it was needed to be able to keep in touch with my family). The instructions were very clear and I had no issues while there. The bathroom was a little tough, as the toilet is super close to the tub and I had to sit sideways to use it. I would not recommend this for anyone large or anyone who has trouble getting up once seated. All in all, it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but it's a well-kept, nice place with a lovely view.
