Weekend River Getaway

this property completely live up to our expectations. The view of the river was gorgeous along with having the hot tub on the balcony. We were separated from this towns, but still very close and you just very much felt in nature and it is exactly what it states as a quiet, riverside getaway.

Cozy stay/ beautiful river scene

We had a lovely 2 days getaway. Easy access for older people. Wonderful propane fireplace, great river view, and a well stocked and designed kitchen and living space. Only problem was directions at end. There was a description of a sign which should have been by the address to verify we were at right place. We found the sign near the entrance to apartment. In general we had a very comfortable stay!

Beautiful view

What a view! We really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and taking in the view of the river and mountains. The place was the perfect size for two people and had everything we needed. Even though it’s technically an “apartment”, it really felt like a personal cabin. Would stay here again!

Bear Den

The property is exactly as pictured. It is quiet, not secluded. Unless you rent the entire space, it is a bottom unit and you do hear people walking and opening patio doors. I didnt hear voices or anything else. I would suggest updating instructions to get to the house and various things around the space, like the remote controls or even the walk to river access. Not accurate or clear. The coffee maker didnt work, there was a french press and a new one was delivered very quickly. I did have to go purchase filters but was happy to have coffee for the week. The bed was comfortable. Ac was nice but never found its remote control. I wont be back because of the 3 mile dusty gravel road, often one lane with a drop on one side and a few one lane short bridges. I am uncomfortable with heights and that is a me issue. It reminds me to ask more questions before booking. The dust is also significant. I walked my dog several times a day and then a frw times to the river entrance and cars race down that road. Many when they saw me slowed down, but the dust was everywhere. I went to have a week to be in the quiet and get aome work done. Internet can be spotty, it was out for 5 hours o e day, and cell service is ok outside but not inside. Best part is the view. The grounds are also well maintained and beautiful. If you are going to be with family and friends, on vacation, it is a nice spot.
