A little cramped for us all at times, but it was expected. Location was perfect for walking to and from river. Highway noise wasn’t noticeable in the house. Some noise while outside. Very convenient to town.

Awesome little cabin on riverside. Kids enjoyed the large property. Creek was low and not moving so the smaller kids enjoyed it. While the teenagers enjoyed the river. The ramp on the porch was awesome, no climbing stairs after floating the river or lugging bags up steps. Kids and dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The beds are awesomely comfortable. I over packed because I brought kitchen and bathroom things that I didn’t need to bring. Lots of spices, coffee, creamer, sugar and even Splenda with the keurig coffee. Place was very clean and the wrap around porch has a makeshift gate to keep dogs and babies in. The porch was to die for there’s so much space. I used the washing machine and dryer; both worked well. Loved it!

Nice Getaway
Close to several things to do. We enjoyed listening to the creek and relaxing on the porch. It is close to the road but didn’t really bother us.
We did several things and this was a great location to come and go from. We went into Hot Springs for the Bath house and Garvan Woodland Gardens. We went to Wegner Crystal Mine and the Crater of Diamonds mine. There’s several restaurants within decent distance. We had a very good time.

Okay
When we booked it we didn’t realize it was so close to the road. I also didn’t realize it was gonna be under construction with stuff stored on the porch. There was cobwebs on the light fixture and dust all over everything. There was also big black ants all in the bathroom. But overall we were pleased with the cabin.

Cute place with great host
The cabin was plenty spacious for me, my husband, our three young kids, and my mom. The location on the river was great for my kids and a beautiful spot to drink my morning coffee on the deck.
The place is close to a small highway that is busier than I expected so there was more vehicle noise than I wanted, but it wasn’t too bad.
