Very nice modern cabin, Love the barn doors, Patio overlooking the River was very serene with hot tub and fire pit. Brought our own 10x10 Canopy for on deck, helped in rainy dewy weather and provided shade. Very peaceful getaway!!

We arrived the afternoon of a snow storm and it was a beautiful winter wonderland. Our host Al reached out the following morning and coordinated a time to come by to clear the deck, walkways and the driveway. We came back to a clear area so we could enjoy the hot tub and the fire pit on the back deck. Being closer to the road I worried at first but when you’re inside the sound you hear from any traffic is very minimal. We are planning a stay in the summer to enjoy the river activities. We did have visitors in back of several deer and a couple raccoons that were very curious one evening. This place is a little hidden gem.

Loved the location for Kenyon family weekend. Perfect serene cabin in the woods. Great place to get away and recharge. Loved being right on the river and able to hear the critters splashing around. The cabin has everything we needed for the weekend. Would definitely book again.

My wife and I came here for an anniversary trip and loved it. The house is secluded, well kept, and inviting. We enjoyed the various amenties offered including the deck firepit, outdoor shower, and hot tub. The road is very close to the house but you don't really notice it.

The house fit our needs perfectly. Is right on the main road but didn’t bother us as made it easy for our day excursions. Enjoyed the hot tub in the morning when the air was chilly.One of the highlights was sitting out on the swing by the river. A bald eagle flew right over us as we sippped on a complimentary glass of wine. Would not hesitate to stay again.

It was a clean cabin. I really enjoyed the complimentary wine and pumpkin bread. My dog loved playing ball in the backyard. We wanted to try kayaking but maybe another time. Only reason for four stars and not five was the water. Definitely a smell to the faucet and shower water tho but not a huge deal.

This is the second time we have visited the cabin for our anniversary. And as before, we really enjoyed our stay.The house was very clean. Beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed the complementary pumpkin bread and bottle of wine.The views were exceptional. The greatest improvement we found from the last time was the steps to the river. It made fishing and getting into the river, so much more easy.The only downfall, of course, is the traffic noise but honestly, after a while, you don’t even pay attention to it.
