We loved the location - close to Helvetia and secluded along the river, but not too far down a country lane. The cabin had everything we needed for the weekend and we appreciated having a cozy retreat after our busy days exploring and running around. The WiFi worked well and the cabin was toasty warm the whole time. The host was friendly and welcoming in responses and answered some questions I had before booking. We’ve had a lot of snow in the past few weeks, so I was prepared to have some difficulty getting to the cabin. With the location of the cabin, it was still snowy along the river when most of the snow had melted elsewhere. It was a winter wonderland. The road to the cabin was pretty icy and snow covered, but it was also flat and not a problem for the short drive. Our SUV with AWD had no problems on the road.
The main roads were clear and dry. The lane to the cabin was snowy but drivable.

This cozy little house is in a great location - far enough away that it feels private but close enough that you can still get things you need! The property was beautiful and the sound of the river was comforting. The porches were perfect for just sitting and enjoying nature.
