Family Weekend

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin on the river. We had a few hiccups at the start but the owner was very helpful and responsive. We enjoyed the loft area for the kids and the beautiful stone fireplace. The sauna was a nice feature as well. We used the blackstone outside to grill on and enjoyed walks in the area. Just a note the bedrooms upstairs are heated with space heaters. They are plenty warm but good to know. As noted, there is an exposed floor which is concrete with pebble stones. If you have a crawling baby or toddler not steady on their feet it is not ideal and can hurt. Otherwise a great place to stay with friends or family!

Winter Get Away

We loved the cabin. Kitchen was well equiped for all of our cooking needs. The location by the river was gorgeous. We were there during a weekend snow storm...absolutely stunning ! We did have a couple hickups the first evening, but the hosts responded quickly to resolve the issue. All in all....a perfect weekend ! Looking forward to visiting this cabin again !

Best, relaxing holiday stay!

We picked this property for its central location. Everyone had about a 2 hour drive. The kitchen is well stocked with crockpot, toaster, waffle maker, blender, mixer, air fryer. There is not a dishwasher, but I think the best conversations happen when washing and drying dishes. We loved the jetted tub and sauna. The central fireplace was nice. The loft living room was well used. There was two days where we never went outside. The view was beautiful and we were visited by many birds. We played games and did puzzles. birdshappe

Great, quiet space to get away

Our group of four friends from college met up here for our annual weekend together. The setup was great for us with the cozy living area and private outdoor space. The kitchen had everything we needed and we were so appreciative of the bottle of wine the host left for us. We will certainly consider staying here again in future years!

Hot water

The home is in a beautiful area as well as home is beautiful The floors are pebble stone and rough but we were informed of this The hot water heater needed to be reset as we had no hot water, once we got that corrected we had to figure how the shower worked the fireplace did not work but that was corrected the ext day The owners of the home were quick to respond to correct any issues we had. However that being said please update your instructions to include how the bottom floor shower needs to be turned on,and let future renters know the fireplace is turned off and we suggest getting a new cleaning lady

Great place to relax

Had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cabin while visiting family in Royalton. The cabin is gorgeous and the grounds are lush and well kept. We had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our time, even a Blackstone on the patio. The property is close enough to everything you need but still very private. We would definitely stay again and recommend the property to anyone who enjoys the great outdoors!

Secluded Oasis in the Woods

We really enjoyed our stay here, and would definitely come back. Venue is a beautiful, secluded site, and provided just what we needed this trip-an environment of rest and restoration. Loved the hot tub and sauna. Would recommend adding either blinds or a curtain in the upstairs bathroom for more privacy, even though the window only faces woods. Thanks for all you do to make the guests feel welcome.

Home away from home

This cabin was so beautiful and peaceful! If you are looking for a place to get away that is not a plane ride away, I would highly recommend. The house is fully stocked with everything you need but you will not spend much time indoors. The patio, firepit area, and short walk down the hill to the river was where we spent the majority of our time. The host was also amazing to work with! She was very responsive and accommodating. We are already talking about a return trip in the future. Thank you for the great memories!

Peaceful Perfection

The house and property are beautiful, and the hosts are very gracious! Every member of my party was very pleased with the accommodations. If we ever have the need to stay in the area again, this place will be our first choice. My only suggestion for improvement is to provide better lighting inside in the bedrooms and outside by the garage entry door.

Everything was perfect except the Floors

When we first found out about the rough flooring of the cabin we had already left our home. The email from the owners was sent with this description after we had already left our home to spend time with family for a couple of days before going to the cabin. The main floor is very coarse and I highly recommend slippers or house shoes, which was also recommended in the owner's email, but this information should be part of the cabin's description on VRBO, not in an email a couple days before someone checks in. The two bedrooms upstairs also have some gaps in the flooring. But besides the floors, everything else was absolutely perfect. We really enjoyed the fireplace, the giant TV upstairs, the modern appliances and all the cupboards were well stocked. Overall this place is great, as long as you pack some rubber soled slippers for everyone.

Beautiful house on the river

We rented this house for a large group of our family that came to town. We had a total of nine people (kids and adults) there at one time. The house is absolutely beautiful, furnished very well. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out both inside and out. We loved sitting outside on the patio and walking along the river. While the sun is able to shine through there's plenty of shade as well. Inside the house, the stone and the wood is all so unique and beautiful. It's a charming house. Everyone in the family appreciated having a place to stay that was so clean and comfortable. The owners are available to answer any questions and respond so quickly if you need anything at all. They even provided complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival! This is a beautiful property. You won't be disappointed.
