Very sweet place along a river. We used the kayakes, the hot tub, the fire pit,and went fishing. Great place to unwind and set by the river. There were little towns to go shop and eat out.

This is the second time we have visited the cabin for our anniversary. And as before, we really enjoyed our stay.The house was very clean. Beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed the complementary pumpkin bread and bottle of wine.The views were exceptional. The greatest improvement we found from the last time was the steps to the river. It made fishing and getting into the river, so much more easy.The only downfall, of course, is the traffic noise but honestly, after a while, you don’t even pay attention to it.

Beautiful get-away

Check in was very easy however we passed the house getting there. That could have been our maps. Everything you could possibly need was there and then some. The extras were beyond fantastic. The only reason I gave four stars to cleanliness was because there was something in the hot tub. They messaged me back immediately and sent the cleaner out. Turns out it was just a little piece of deck paint. Not a big deal. The only reason for four stars on location was because the main road was very loud during the day. There was almost no traffic there in the evening and it was extremely peaceful. Of course we used the hot tub and took the kayaks out. The wine and the pumpkin bread were just fantastic! Very attentive hosts. Definitely would recommend.
Beautiful day on the river!
Thoroughly enjoyed the deck, the fire pit and the hot tub.
Relaxing and watching people float down the river.

We had the most amazing time staying at this charming cottage on the river for our sisters' trip! From the moment we arrived, we could tell the hosts put so much care into making sure their guests have an unforgettable stay. They truly thought of everything — from insect repellent and coffee filters to a sweet welcome gift of a bottle of wine and delicious locally made pumpkin bread.The location was peaceful and beautiful, right on the river. We loved tubing, fishing, and relaxing in the hot tub while soaking in the scenery. The cottage was cozy, clean, and well-stocked with everything we needed. You have everything you could need from a grill, kayaks, tubes, fire pit, hot tub and comfortable beds. This was the perfect place for us to reconnect and unwind. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly, highly recommend!Vickie and Lisa

The property was very clean and had many extra touches. However, our weekend getaway was impacted by loss of electricity. The house is on a very busy road with semis driving 55mph. The noise couldn’t be heard inside but it was loud outside when sitting on the beautiful deck. During our stay, the power was out for several hours. Without air conditioning, lights, television, or the ability to flush toilets, we were forced to alter our plans substantially. We noticed a strong sewage-like odor coming from the bathroom sink and shower, which made it very difficult to sleep in the adjacent bedroom. The smellWhen we brought this to the owner’s attention, we were told that odors might occur due to barometric pressure changes.From our own research and understanding, a power outage can indeed cause septic systems to malfunction. Loss of power disrupts waste processing, potentially leading to wastewater backup and foul odors inside the home. Given that the power outage and the odor occurred simultaneously, it’s likely these issues were related.Telling a guest that we should have gotten travel insurance is not the answer. Maybe invest in a generator.

Relaxation by the River

The cabin is very cozy and inviting. It's in a beautiful location along the river and felt secluded, even though access to stores and restaurants was not far away. It felt like a nature retreat. I wish I could have enjoyed the deck, hot tub, and view more. Unfortunately, it rained the entire weekend. My arrival was very warm and welcoming. Low lights were on, instrumental music was playing, and the owners were kind enough to have some lovely complimentary items waiting for me. Communication was responsive and thorough. Everything is well stocked and easy to locate thanks to very thoughtful labeling and instructions throughout the cabin. It is very apparent that the hosts wanted their visitors to feel at home. I certainly did. I really loved my stay and found it very relaxing. I would be happy to return in the future and hopefully be able to enjoy everything it has to offer.

Nice stay along the river

Was clean and had everything you would need. Nice fire pit and hot tub, with a short walk to the water in the back yard. Was easy to get to, and a short drive to restaurants and stores. Everything is exactly as advertised.We were especially surprised at the complementary pumpkin bread and wine left for us to start the weekend. That was definitely a first for us of all places we've stayed throughout Ohio.

The property was as advertised. It was on a lazy river which was a wonderful backdrop for our hot tub sessions. The cabin was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return in warmer weather in order to take advantage of the kayaks.

Great weekend retreat

A fun, simply laid out, fairly private, well kept, up to date place that would be easy to spend alot of time at. The closed in porch and backyard made it easy to keep tabs on our dog. The hot tub was wonderful, the big firepit on the porch got plenty of use and the nice section of river behind the property I can see being tons of fun when its warmer. Excited to come back sometime
