"This is a lovely cabin, very comfortable and beautifully built. Each bedroom has a private bath and is on a separate floor of the house, ensuring good privacy. The covered porch overlooks the Pigeon River. We were able to walk into the river, which is wild and fast-flowing, and which emits a beautiful sound through open windows. The owner, Jack Chambers, who actually built the cabin, was both highly personable and responsive."
