About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Green, unique, comfortable, open loft cabin

Welcome to an exquisite, eco-friendly way of vacationing and getting away from it all! From its solar water heat to the recycled lumber, this cabin packs many eco-sensitive features to bring you comfort in style. Its artistic flair can be experienced in everything in the handcrafted countertops, the exquisite tree staircase, and right down to the mosaic bathroom floor. You'll be pleasantly toasty in the winter with the radiant heat and gas fireplace. Plenty of windows and open floorplan keeps the space light-filled throughout the day.

Need to unwind? Let the jacuzzi massage the tension away. Read a book in the airy loft. Watch a DVD. Or simply take a walk to the neighboring Cameron House (on the same property).

Biking, canoeing, trout fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, are a few activities for you to enjoy on your vacation.

Eco Sensitive: This cabin was built in 2008 using sustainably harvested trees. The roof substructure and all major beams were repurposed from older buildings in the area. The building is mainly insulated with a green, soy-based spray foam insulation which keeps the interior warm and quiet.

The radiant heat and water heating system is powered through a solar / gas-boiler combination system. All makes for a quiet, even heat that foot-warming friendly. It keeps the air more comfortable and less dusty in the winter when compared to forced-air systems. This is a boon for those with indoor allergies and asthma.

The Perfect Get-away

Our stay at the cabin was absolutely wonderful. Owners were pleasant to work with, and check-in was very smooth. The cabin is definitely unique, with all the comforts of home. Plenty of room, with games and books to keep us occupied. Beds were very comfortable and the nature surrounding the cabin was very peaceful. It was the perfect get-away for a Girl's weekend.

Perfect cozy girls’ weekend

This setting was perfect - clear instructions, easy check-in, very clean and well-stocked with extra paper goods and necessary cooking items. We enjoyed the Landmark coffee shop in Amherst but also appreciated the wireless at the cabin. It felt secluded and close to things all at the same time. We loved it!

Kayak trip

We had a wonderful time staying here. Our mothers joined us as well as my daughter and our granddaughter. We all had plenty of room and everyone said their beds were comfortable. Our mothers were fascinated by all the old decor and unique items in the cabin. While my husband and I loved that we could launch our kayaks right from the cabin. We will definitely be making this an annual stay!

Cozy place.

This cabin was just what we were looking for. Very cozy and warm. We stayed over Christmas weekend. I liked how the bedrooms are spaced far apart. The kitchen/living room is also spacious. The bathrooms were great. A few things could be updated (pillows, chairs in the livingroom) but overall, very nice. Kitchen was well supplied (could use a whisk and a large salad-size bowl). The property is private.

Relaxing Stay at Riverdance Cabin!

The cabin is unique and amazing, with decor that adds to the experience. The naturalized prairie and woodland gardens around the cabin are also beautiful, giving a daily adventure just outside the front door. The cabin is spacious, with a large loft, main floor and lower level. It easily accommodated our family group of three adult couples and two children. The frontage on the Tomorrow River has one trail to the river’s edge, where one can wade in, but nearby Hartman Creek State Park offers a swimming beach and fishing opportunities. That’s just 15 minutes away. Really enjoyed our stay, especially watching the Perseus meteor shower around the fire ring.
