The perfect weekend stay

We stopped here for a few nights during a 10 day road trip and it was great! The cabin had plenty of comfortable beds and was stocked with essentials plus more. Cindy is a wonderful host and even provided a check in welcome bundle. The river was so relaxing to sit next to in the mornings and the area is quiet. We enjoyed the hot tub and sightseeing the local cavern, old Bedford village plus a few local restaurants. Wi-Fi was fast the AC was cold.
