Country River Cabin

Host communication is great. Easy checkin & out. The house is roomy, kitchen is well equipped. The back patio is so peaceful I could sit there and watch the river flow all day! We had challenges with main bedroom AC unit going offline, beeping in the middle of the night, every night (ran fine during daytime). Host offered to get on a call with me and customer service to get it worked out but I declined - that was last thing I wanted to do on a “get away from it all” trip. The 2 neighboring houses are very close, like a typical neighborhood. One shares the driveway. We did see and chat with them every time we were outdoors. The renters on the left had two very active boys who began their days early & loudly - as children do. This is not the host’s fault, but I’m including this detail for those who are looking for solitude, it definitely depends on who is next door. Trash pickup at 4:30AM was also incredibly loud right outside the front of the house. This detail is not in listing & only provided in the booking confirmation: The river is 6 miles from a dam. There is no notice when they open the dam. If you are in the river, you have to be aware of water level changes. It goes from shin deep to 4-6 ft with strong currents in about 15 minutes. We found it very difficult to get down to the water. The bank is very steep. There are about 15 wooden steps but they end several feet before the water then you have to scale slippery rocks hidden in tall grass.

The house was exactly what we needed for our extended family visit. The layout was perfect with separate living spaces, right on the river with a nice screened porch, and it was close to our family.
