Great getaway to the river…
This place was so cozy! Even though it was very cold outside, we were warm inside. Enjoyed the hot tub and the view of the frozen river. Beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of linens and cozy blankets everywhere. Thanks for a great time!

Very Rustic
The house was super cute and clean, but it's VERY rustic. The communication with the property manager was TOP NOTCH.Exterior steps are steep and uneven, stairs to basement are very steep and narrow. Most beds are uncomfortable. Bunk beds in basement are truly for children, not small adults as explained in the description. The house smells musty and damp.

We booked this cabin for a small family babyshower. It was perfect!! The location was great. You felt like you were isolated in the woods in a cozy cabin on the lake but everything was very close by for whatever you needed. The cabin was very well stocked. Would definitely recommend staying

Very large and well appointed home.
Great location near parks and the river view was fantastic. We had more than enough space and furniture, bathrooms, bedding and kitchen were all thoughtfully decorated. Would definitely stay here again with visiting the area.

Great cabin
This cabin was the perfect place for all of our needs and wants. There was so much room for everyone. We were there for a volleyball tournament and our teen girls had their own space for bonding. It provided everythig we needed. We highly recommend this beautiful cabin.

incredible!
the cabin is amazing. in a quiet area with a gorgeous view of the river. the house is HUGE with plenty of space for a large group to hang out together or separately. the kitchen is fully stocked with cookware. the grill and jacuzzi make for some great outdoor activities and there's plenty of lawn space as well. multiple TVs, games, and 3 separate kitchens kept me and my group entertained and well-fed i couldn't recommend this place highly enough!

BEAUTIFUL
I loved everything about the place. It was spacious and had everything you needed. There was no problems when we stayed there. Everything was pretty neat and organized. It’s definitely the best that I’ve rented so far. Definitely give it a 10/10. Lisa was so understanding of everything!

Deceitful Booking
Photos of the property and reality do not match. Doors around the house on the property we’re unlocked up one arrival. Locks did not work well, sliding doors did not work. A board fell off of the main bathroom wall and hit one of the tenants on the head. Property is very dark, things were broken outside. The hot tub was spraying all over the place and couldn’t be used. The exterior of the house did not appear maintained at all. The housing surrounding the property is sketchy and tenants did not feel very safe. Overall our group felt the property was very falsely advertised.
