The cabin was very clean and full of personal touches. We had a great time tubing on the river and making s’mores in the outdoor fireplace. It was lovely and relaxing, and we would definitely come here again.

Family girls trip

We had a great first ever family girls trip! Cabin was great, lots of games provided, great space outside for everyone to sit together and enjoy each others company! Fire pit by the water was wonderful! Hot tub was soo nice after a long day of hiking! The road to get to house was very bumpy and when leaving you have to do as the sign says and get up quick or you can slide backward like I did once! So 4x4 car would be better to have had! Lots of stairs to carry luggage up but it’s a great work out haha! Host very responsive and very quick with any questions!! Will def come again!

Peaceful Family Getaway

The home was beautiful and in a peaceful location. We had a great time and enjoyed hiking, fishing, and time together. We had the unexpected power outage(12 hrs+). I would suggest having a separate note about what to do if power is out (regarding water/toilet use). I would also suggest more description regarding the gravel road including the steep incline, so that drivers are prepared.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods!

This property was great for our extended family of 10. The views are amazing, and the cabin was stocked with everything we needed. The road to the cabin is quite the adventure but well worth it for the amazing river views you get! Very close to town and multiple wineries. We loved our stay in this Cabin. Thank you to Dave for being such wonderful host!

Friend Getaway

This was absolutely one of the best getaways. Mr Dave happen to be at the house when we arrived. He was extremely helpful and his detailed books of near by attractions and restaurants was the best. Our 18-25 year olds already want us to book again for next year. Thank you, Mr Dave for sharing your home with us.

A perfect wedding getaway!!

This was an absolutely incredible cabin! We spent 6 days for our wedding getaway. The location is a nice distance from venues and Helen. The road to get there is a little rocky but worth the trek and is only a short distance. The surrounding river and forest is just stunning, and we even were visited by a family of deer while enjoying the hot tub. Everything in the cabin was clearly labeled and very well stocked. Our host provided directions for a really cool trail that was a locals only spot and it was worth the trip! We can't wait to come back! Fall was a beautiful time to visit and the colors were amazing!

Beautiful property

This property is beautiful. Everything as described in the listing is accurate. The creek is beautiful and once you arrive, it is so relaxing. The kitchen is well stocked. We did ALL of our cooking outside on the grill using the large cast iron skillet. I would recommend this to couples looking for a relaxing and romantic getaway or to a family looking to unplug and spend quality time. Dave was very communicative and always available if needed. All around a fantastic property!

The river front view was beautiful! The house was very clean and accommodating.

The communication and questions answered about renting the property was very clear and replied promptly. The personal touches when we arrived was very nice. Everything we thought we were getting from the house was there. We enjoyed an evening out at the fire pit hearing the river current. The house was in close distance to the wineries. We will def be back!

Amazing!

Loved the porches with swing and rockers. Easy to sit and relax while watching children play below. The stream was perfect with rapids and a beach area directly across from property. Very secluded and private. Beautiful scenery. Plenty of supplies with tubes, life jackets, towels, games for the entire family. The fourth bedroom/loft is accessible by a ladder which my older child thought was cool. Instant communication with owner. Easy check in and check out. 5 stars.

Amazing

The property was absolutely beautiful! We really enjoyed the privacy of this cabin and the kids had a blast exploring the surrounding woods! We also caught a few trout in the creek! Dave was an excellent host and really takes care of his property! It was nice to walk in the cabin and see a bottle of wine welcoming us after a long car ride from Florida. The cabin is in a very convenient location, only 10 minutes away from anything you need in town! We will definitely be visiting Dave’s cabin again in the future. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
