This property was as advertised. It’s a beautiful location and the stream and property is beautiful.Only issues we ran into was it was difficult to control overnight temperatures as we normally like 69 but thermostat automatically turned temps up to 73 after 11:30 even though we set to 69 before bedtime. Would like more privacy blinds in the main and upstairs bedrooms. Game room downstairs is well stocked with games and pool table was great. Didn’t use the hot tub but noted the temperature was cool when we arrived. Maybe the tenant was required to turn up temperature when arriving. The property management team was great and came out to turn on all fireplaces within a hour after we placed the request.
Great cabin! Very clean and well stocked. One of the best cabins we have stayed in.

Riverhouse The office staff is great! Very friendly and helpful in trying to locate the cabin that suits your needs. The cabin was comfortable, convenient to stores and attractions. We enjoyed the gas fireplaces and brought wood for the firepit. It is a very nice cabin.
It was a great weekend for our small staff retreat. The accommodations were wonderful, even with the heavy rains and water level rising to the first step of the back deck.
This property is so comfortable with 4 bedrooms and 4 and 1/2 bathrooms. My only recommendation is that the mattresses upstairs are not very comfortable nor or the pillows in the basement suite.
