Oh deer --loved the visitors every evening.

The cabin! The woods! The river! Such a relaxing environment that allowed us all to unwind. The outdoor seating areas on the property gave us places to hide-away and enjoy the woods. The deer that visited every evening were the most special. I believe we will be returning.

Great vacation!

I've stayed in dozens of vrbo homes and this one is Excellent! It had everything you could ask for and more. I spent a week here with my husband, father, and aunt and uncle. We were all very comfortable and cooked most meals in the fully stocked kitchen. We loved spending time just watching the river and wildlife. It was an amazing week! Would definitely stay here again.

Natural Setting

The property is very nice, the stream in the back of the property is great for hanging out with the family. Deer everywhere, so be careful when you have to drive. Overall a great location to detach from the everyday grind.

VRBO

Wonderful place to visit. The biggest issue I have is not in the home. It was wonderful.The issue was with the VRBO additional service charges. I will never use them again due to that fact.I have been concerned about the Vrbo rates for a few years but this one was a backbreaker. I will use you again.

If you want a clean, comfortable, relaxing place to rent, Happy Jack's Cabin is it!

My family (seven out of eight) had a wonderful stay at Happy Jack's Cabin. The cabin had everything we needed and more! The king beds were so comfortable and the decor in every room was tastefully done. Happy Jack's Cabin is in a gated community on a peaceful, private lot with the river flowing right by the cabin. We all enjoyed the wrap around porch and the game room was a big hit for us four adults and my three grandchildren. The cabin looks exactly as shown on the websites. Really can't say enough about this beautiful cabin (inside and out)! I would definitely rent again! Aileen is an excellent host/owner! Happy Jack's Cabin will definitely make your stay happy!!
