Nice place

Beds were comfortable, very important.Good cookware, equally important if you are cooking meals.Being on the river is great. Spacious. Could have used some extra dusting in places. Wasn't crazy about the dirt wall backed up to the house, especially just experiencing hurricane Hellene. A fencing brace or something would ease my mind some. Could use some cleaning bugs away from light fixtures outside. It would have been a nice touch to have some type of Christmas or decor for the season.These are small things but when you pay 1000 you kinda expect above average. Really nice place though.

This is the most peaceful spot there is. The river view is wonderful and we spent an entire day on the porch watching the boaters and fishermen. The house was roomy and accommodating.

The right of rustic and comfort

The property was everything that we expected. The location and beautiful scenery complimented a very well maintained and fully equipped cozy cabin. Hearing the river run just outside made us feel like we were close to nature. Highly recommend it.

Beautiful, but water stinks

The house and location are absolutely perfect. The only issues that we had were the water has a strong smell of sulfur (from the sinks, toilets, showers, washing machine, etc...). Nothing quick showers and bottled drinking water couldn't remedy. Other than that issue, would 10/10 recommend!

Not a great space for anyone with allergies

We had to move out after the first night. The home was damp and smelled moldy. The registers were coated with blackish dust. We reached out to Vacasa and were told we would be contacted by the Local Team. We have yet to hear from them.

Great fishing cabin!

This cabin was perfect for our annual fly fishing trip. Four of us stayed in the cabin - beds were very comfortable and everything was there that we needed. The river was running fast one day due to rain but we were able to enjoy fishing every day using waders. Two bits of advice - (1) bring water because the well water in the cabin is high in sulfur and (2) if you have any questions about the stay, call Vacasa directly because no one responds through VRBO. We would definitely stay there again!
