About this property

Rustic River Cabin Getaway

Welcome to Timberline Trails on the Black River- The Redwood Cabin. As you pull into the private drive, you will discover a rustic cabin with a large cedar post wrap-around porch. Step inside the cabin to escape from the everyday hustle. This location has it all- 3 bedrooms (one queen bed, one twin bunk, and a king bed in the loft), 1 full bathroom (complete with a rustic whiskey barrel sink), a full kitchen (with limited pantry), and a charcoal grill and fire pit outside. It offers privacy and plenty of space to unwind inside or out. There is also a RV site available alongside the cabin for your camper for an additional fee. Did I mention it's located just a hop, skip, & jump from the crystal clear Black River? River access included at Brawley Hollow. Come explore nature, relax by the campfire, or soak up the sun at the river. Timberline Trails await you.

I would love to go back!!

We loved the cabin, it was clean and well kept. Google maps led us astray, but I called the owner and she got us right there. I loved the location, but wish it wasn’t such a long gravel road to get there. I’ll still go back anyway!

Perfect cabin for a black river float trip

This property was great. Spacious rooms & outdoor areas. Awesome deck space & firepit area. The grill needs to either be moved or have fans by it to blow the smoke off the porch....the smoke completely filled the covered porch area. The bathroom was not so great. The toilet took a very long time to refill, which makes it hard for multiple people to all use the bathroom in the morning. The shower head was clogged so the water sprayed everywhere except on the person showering. Additionally, the shower curtain liner was on the same pole as the shower curtain so the bathroom floor flooded with every shower, so 5 times a day for our group. We had to use so very many towels for soaking up water on the bathroom floor. Amazing river access, but we did get a nasty note from jeffs canoes on our vehicle that we left parked there while we were kayaking. This was a memorial trip for my dad and very emotionally draining, so at the end of the day having passive aggressive threats from a local outfitter wasnt what i wanted to be seeing. Providing the host with license plate numbers that Jeffs canoes can access would resolve this issue easily and avoid future guests possibly having their vehicle towed. I made sure i didnt park in any road ways or areas where the outfitter offloads or parks their vehicles, so this nasty note was really uncalled for. .

Unplugged and unbothered

The cabin was a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life and we had a great time. Jeff’s canoe rental does put in at the gravel bar at the end of the road so you may encounter sever school buses on that road if they are coming or going, and that can be difficult trying to pass. One thing to clarify: some reviews mention “private river access” even though the listing itself does not. This is NOT PRIVATE. You should NOT expect to go to the river and not see anyone else drive down to the gravel bar and set up. You may get lucky and not encounter anyone else except those floating on the river, but certainly don’t count on it!

Great, secluded spot

We had a lovely time at the cabin! We stayed for the total eclipse and enjoyed a quiet private viewing in the woods! Our two little dogs were very happy at the property. The road leading down is a little bit rough, but that is the last 3 mile leg of the journey. You can hike up a nearby hill for cell reception if you need to connect, but the best part of this cabin was unplugging and relaxing. The short walk down the road leads to the large gravel riverbank. Fun for fossil hunting, skipping rocks, and fishing! Thank you for your hospitality!

Fall family getaway

Our family had an awesome stay here! Super cozy cabin. The location is remote - down a long gravel road - we drove the truck, but I think a mini van could have made it just fine. The cabin is very close to the Black River with beautiful beach access. We would definitely come back again! My only complaint is that the light fixtures and fans were very dirty with lots of spiderwebs. Wonderful cabin, but could use a deeper cleaning.

Unplugged Family Time

We celebrated my son’s 14th birthday with a weekend stay in the cabin and kayak trip from Jeff’s Canoe Rental. It was perfect!! Cabin had everything we needed including firewood. We fished, saw wildlife (buck whitetail crossed the river), lots card games, ate well, roasted hotdogs/marshmallows over the fire, and talked to each other lots! Very comfy beds. Very welcoming decor. Kitchen even had crock pot for a meal to cook while we floated. Highly recommend. My husband already asked when we were going again. Much easier than camping!

Annual Float

Would highly recommend this cabin. Hosts were great to deal with, great communication and she thought of everything. Cabin very well stocked. Even had firewood for us. Very cute cabin, and clean. The wrap around covered front porch was awesome since we did have some rain while there. Porch is a lot bigger than it looks in the picture. Having our own private gravel bar was great to hang out. Very short drive down the from the driveway to gravel bar. If you are looking for a secluded cabin, this is it. You are definitely secluded and are off the grid while you are there. Limited cell service, if any depending. There is absolutely no one around, super secluded. Helpful Tip: May want to have everything you need before arriving, as it is not a quick jaunt to the nearest store. Cabin is at the end of a very long gravel road out. We all loved the cabin and would highly recommend and we will be using in the future.

Just what we needed!

We needed a reset from everyday life. The cabin was beautiful the porch is amazing! We enjoyed the river it’s one of my favorite rivers. It’s crystal clear and we love trying to find amazing rocks and arrow heads. Heather the owner has the house stocked with things you need. It’s best to travel to Ellington for groceries as there is only a dollar general in Annapolis. If you can float or canoe the river it’s a great experience! We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!

Perfect Getaway

My husband, I and 4 teenagers stayed at the cabin. Though the thought of NO Wi-Fi was mind boggling for them initially, we all had the most amazing time. We went to the river, played board games, puzzles. We grilled, used the fire pit w/provided wood. We enjoyed the open yard, they played baseball, football, hung out in the hammock, and just reconnected and enjoyed good company. I don’t think the kids even missed not having cell service. The property is very secluded, but perfect for relaxing, disconnecting from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnecting with family. The cabin was clean and well stocked! Air conditioning was ice cold, perfect for escaping the summer heat when needed. Though one bathroom, the hot water never ran out allowing us nice hot showers after long days in the river and sun. We even enjoyed a thunderstorm, the rain on the tin roof was relaxing and so soothing. Heather was very responsive and even helped us figure the weather out to help plan our float trip around incoming rain. I Highly recommend stopping in Ellington or another nearby town and get ice, milk, groceries or whatever is needed before hand. We thought we may be able to run to the store “real quick” initially… nope! A break from people is what we asked for, and that’s what we got! The road to the house is a drive, but it is picturesque and the scenery is beautiful. We had a minivan and was able to drive the road with no problems. 10/10 recommend and would return!

Our own Walden Pond Experience

If you have ever wanted to escape it all and escape the outside world, with it’s distractions and noise… this is your place. There is no television, no Wi-Fi, nothing but old fashioned, Norman Rockwell goodness. ( Ok… there are modern conveniences like a microwave and coffee maker with varied k-cups, but you know what I mean.) Our family quickly fell into a soothing routine of cooking, talking, sitting on the porch, making s’mores at the campfire, sitting under the stars, playing board games, and swimming at the private river access. It was a welcome pause in time and I will always remember it. The roads are country roads, so you can’t drive your low riding sports car here, but it’s the country… That’s part of the experience. We loved it and will be back for sure!
