We felt like we were in a house hidden in the woods! It was beautiful! The house was clean, and was a great set up for our retreat.
Beautiful cabin, our 5 year old absolutely loved it. Unfortunately it wasn’t very clean. I spent the first hour of our trip wiping down all 3 toilets, kitchen counters, table, and sweeping floor. There wasn’t cleaning spray or wipes so we used hand sanitizer.The carpet was visibly vacuumed and beds were done. We really did enjoy the stay and the beautiful cabin, the cleanliness put a damper on it in the beginning, but it was a great space.
If we knew we would walk into a clean cabin, we would definitely book in the future.
We also reached out before our trip asking about bbq and fire pit. We didn’t get an answer. We were able to figure it all out when we got there, but it would have been nice to get a response.

This property exceeded our expectations in a number of ways, and we had a very enjoyable time!
The interior is new, spacious, well-equipped, and with a great layout. The dining table seats 10 and the kitchen has nearly everything you could ask for, including an incredible amount of cabinet storage. The beds in the bedrooms are comfortable and the household amenities are numerous. We didn't use the fireplace, but it looks like it has a blower and would generate plenty of heat. However, we didn't find any firewood other than construction scraps, so you will likely need to bring firewood. There are plenty of towels for kitchen and bath, and extra blankets for beds.
The outside of the property is also very nice. The large dirt area shown in the photo of the front of the house is now a large well-kept lawn. There are 3 picnic tables so that 18 people can have lunch or play games. There are two firepits and plenty of camping chairs. We were lucky that we brought our own firewood. We didn't use the hot tub, but it looked clean and was kept up to temperature if we had wanted to use it.
I don't know if this property will sleep 19, but it easily sleeps 3 couples and 8 kids without even resorting to air matresses.
There were a few minor downsides: The sleeper sofas have thin mattresses and are not very comfortable for adults...maybe kids would be OK with them. The kitchen was not equipped with a blender, but otherwise is pretty nicely set up.
Even though the property is 5 minutes from the river, there appears to be no public wlking access to it. You'll have to drive 20 minutes or so to get river access. There are several river rafting companies nearby that do excursions from June into September. There's also a public shooting range nearby.
We had excellent time. Plenty of places to sleep and the beds were very comfortable. Air conditioning was excellent. The extra chairs outside were great. The hot tub was large and clean. What a great week.

Great time and excellent amenities. We had quite few people and had plenty of beds for everyone. The hot tub was hot and clean and large! Plenty of chairs outside for everyone. We had a great time.
