The cabin may be suitable for younger adults. The bathrooms were clean, but the king bedroom sheets appeared to not have been washed, with hair and stains on them. We had to wash and dry them before we could sleep that night. The other beds were okay. There was an issue with their water pressure system, causing a banging noise every 40 seconds the first night- a sleepless night with a toddler. We contacted the property manager who had to reach out to the owner. Several hours later, we were told to cut off the pressure system and use the well… luckily my husband and father were able to figure out how to do that, but this caused one of the two bathrooms to not have hot water. The back side/back yard of the property are littered with trash- beer cans, beer bottles, broken Adirondack chairs, old fire pit pieces, old umbrellas, old floats, etc. There were two locks on the doors that didn’t work- so we had to figure out which locks work and which ones don’t. There was no trashcan in the kitchen so we had to keep a trashbag in there which wasn’t fun with a toddler and 3 dogs. The hot tub did work, so we were happy to discover that. However, the outdoor heater on that porch did not work.

Inside if home is perfectly fine. Outdoors is very worn and many areas of deck and steps down to river are rotten. Very unsafe. Owners refunded stay after falling through rotten steps and suffering an injury. Don't recommend until outdoor staircase and deck are rebuilt or replaced.
