Let’s start with the positives. The cabin itself is beautiful well maintained very clean and comfortable. Owner lives on the property in a few issues that did come up or fixed quickly with great communication.
For the negatives. This cabin is nowhere near the river as a picture lead you to believe. There is no fire pit near the cabin or a view of anything. If I could post pictures, you would be astounded. The cabin is actually located on the backside of the hill. Looking out the front you will look at a gravel covered hill that you can’t see over. This is facing the river. However, to get to the river, you have to go over the hill and down a very steep and bank meant approximately 400 feet or more. Paved road has recently been put in but my 2020 expedition barely get up it. If it was wet, I would not even attempt it. So in order to use the Amenities in the pictures that are by the river you have to either walk down (And later back up) or drive. Wow, this would be annoying for myself. It would be doable but when you have a little kids and your 70-year-old parents It is impossible . The back of the cabin does not face the river. But the woods on the backside of the hill.
There were two things we were looking for in this cabin to relax with family…. Cabin on the river and fire pit. Both of these ended up being misrepresented in the pictures.
I did ask owner prior to booking… I guess “close” is subjective. I should have trusted Google Maps satellite view
