Weekend Getaway

These were perfect accommodations for our 3 night stay. Rustic, on the river, actually able to access the river and catch fish. We drove over 6 hours for our stay and would do it again. Stunning views, massive trees, good fishing. We were very pleased!

Great weekend getaway

This house was the perfect place to go for a quick weekend trip. It had all the room we needed, plenty of space to spread out, and lots of beautiful outdoor views. Even with some rain we were able to hike and enjoy the surrounding area and have a bonfire and smores down by the river!

Great cabin

Perfect cabin for our family vacation. Right on the water and a short drive into town. Booking was super easy and communication with owner was great. Unfortunately, was unable to fish behind house because water too high and moving WAY too fast. We have a fantastic time anyways. Thanks!
