Beautiful views
Lots of amazing things about this property- The view from the screened in porch & how close it is to town. However, we were sad that it was so difficult to go to the river. I saw other views that mentioned it being steep and that feels like putting it lightly. it was farther and way steeper than expected and very overgrown so it didn’t feel safe to keep going and we only made it halfway down. Was hoping to

fall weekend stay for a wedding.
This place was pretty and comfortable. pretty view of the river and field and mountains. We saw some turkeys near the river chasing a great blue heron. Peaceful and quiet. The trail down to the river was pretty steep but the view was pretty.

Down by the river…not really
This house had an awesome view of the mountains, adequate accommodations, and a great location. However, the property manager was definitely not entirely truthful when it comes to the river. The trail down to the river was overgrown and way more difficult to walk than most people can handle. Definitely can’t take the trail with fishing gear. Furthermore the road to the dock is definitely not marked and very unclear as to how to get there. Honestly it appears that the owner really doesn’t want anyone down by the river but couldn’t pass up the “rentability” of the river. Other than that, I’ve stayed in better and far worse places.

Great Cabin
Cabin was beautiful, clean, well supplied and a great location. My only suggestion would be to not pick this cabin for the river access. It’s not really accessible and can hardly even see it from the cabin. But overall it is a beautiful cabin with a great porch for rocking and enjoying the views. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Great location!
We had a great time staying here. Everything was clean and well kept. Great location! Every activity we did was less than 20 min away, downtown is less than 10! The hike from the river is taxing, but we still enjoyed it!
