This is the place. Pre christmas. We had a great time. Mr o possum waddled across the leaves at about 1am for breakfast. A bobcat growl,while sitting next to the fire can spook you. The hot tub was relaxing. We enjoyed the local winery. Its always hard to depart from peace.

This is a beautiful cabin in a truly peaceful setting. The location by the river is excellent, the cabin itself is lovely, clean, and well maintained, and it was exactly what my wife and I were looking for in a quiet day retreat together.However, I do want to note a significant issue. We specifically communicated to the host that we were only there for a private day getaway, yet during our stay a man showed up unannounced to unload wood. That interruption was very frustrating and disruptive to the purpose of our visit, which was solitude and time away together.Aside from that interruption, everything else about the property was wonderful, and the cabin itself is a great place. With better respect for guest privacy during stays, this would be a near-perfect experience.

Contemplation cabin was amazing! It was very secluded, peaceful and serene. The cabin was well stocked for any needs and comfortable. We spent a lot of time at the river and even saw an Eagle fly by. The owners were great with communication, especially with the directions to get there, which was definitely needed, since GPS wasn't much help at a certain point. We highly recommend a stay here if you're looking for beauty, seclusion and peace!
