Best little stretch of river front
This little cabin is on the best little beach. You can't beat the location. The rope swing was awesome. Our boys were swinging constantly. I would recommend bringing some blister tape, to wrap their hands and prevent blisters. My only real complaints would be that the cabin was in real need of a deep clean and the neighborhood dogs were a little concerning, but overall you can't beat the river. . .

Stunning!
I LOVE rivers and this property is stunning! I loved every second of it and enjoyed playing in the river, watching it, listening to it.. everything! The cabin is very cute and hostesses are very accommodating!! Highly recommend.
This place was awesome. Right next to the river and able to walk down the river with ease. Kids loved it as well.

Great shanty
Great little place to get away from the world!!! It’s not the ritz Carlton by any means but it is exactly what we wanted. The peace and quiet was incredible. Only suggestion I have is a little more lighting on the inside and out but that was easy to manage.

Peaceful Little Spot
Overall my boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay. The location along the water was so peaceful and we loved that there were so many outdoor places to hangout. We also booked a kayaking trip through the owners. It was perfect! They picked us up from the cabin, drove us to the drop off point, and we paddled 6 miles back to it. The biggest downside to our stay was that the grill was not functioning. The bottom had rusted out and so it would not get hot enough to grill which threw off our meal plans. Only other issues were very limited pantry items, no ziplocks, tin foil, etc. and the outdoor furniture could do with some cleaning.

Beautiful but…
The cabin was beautiful, the river was awesome and the view is amazing, however, the AC is 2 small window units that did NOT cool the cabin at all, the refrigerator does not work well, everything inside got hot, and the front door does not shut probably or lock. The neighbor hood dog kept pushing the door open and walking in. We ended up leaving at 1 am because it was too hot to sleep.

Shanty on the Beach
We loved the shanty on the beach! It was peaceful, secluded and quiet. The rope swing was a favorite of our teenage boys. We rented kayaks from the property owners and that was great. We were picked up at the shanty and able to get off the river there too. We will definitely be back!

Great river view!
The shanti was a quaint cozy cabin! The sounds of the flowing river was very soothing! If your looking to get a way from it all this is the place.
The owners were awesome and went above and beyond to help us out.
