From the owner: "Thank you for leaving us the 4-star review. We are glad you enjoyed a quiet getaway. Please let us know on your next visit how we can give you a 5-star experience."
The cabin was very cute and cozy and on a pretty setting overlooking the river. My only problem is that there is no WIFI and the cell service is VERY limited. There was no cell signal at all inside the cabin for my Verizon phone and my girlfriend's ATT service connected inside, but wasn't strong enough to run a hotspot.
The place was very quiet, relaxing, private and great view. The manager Georgia was very helpful. The cell phone reception was disappointing, but have Dish cable was great. Would recommend.

Cindy, thank you for the 5 star review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and would return. Very sorry that the cell phone reception is not great. It does state in the listing that since it is a remote cabin, there is limited reception, unless you have a hot spot on your phone. Please come back anytime!
Very clean. Quiet. Had everything we needed. Except needs more garbage bags. Steps to water would be nice. There are plenty of things to do not far from the cabin. We enjoyed oir stay. We would stay again.

Thank you Jennifer for the 5 star review. We appreciate your feedback. Garbage bags are usually found under the sink, the property manager can also bring out anything needed. And we are working on something to get closer to the water, so please come back again to find out.
