Best on the Jackson River!
We had a fabulous stay and will most definitely be back! The cabin is RIGHT on the river, with beautiful river and mountain view’s. The cabin is well maintained, with everything you could need for your stay! We were here for Thanksgiving, and we were able to prepare everything needed for our family meal. Thank you and we’ll be back soon!

Absolutely Relaxing
This property was so nice, that I did not want to leave. It was cozy, well stocked, well maintained, and comfortable. Not far off the beaten path yet still secluded. I loved hearing the flowing river in the mornings and evenings. Our host, the Rowlands was easily accessible and responsive within minutes. Just an incredible slice of paradise. We will be back!

Not secluded or quiet
Overall, the house is nice and well-maintained, and the sound of the river was a peaceful touch. However, we were disappointed by a few aspects. First, while the photos make the property seem secluded, it’s not as private as we had hoped. There are neighbors on both sides and a large neighborhood across the river, so it didn’t feel as remote as expected. Additionally, while the area is great for nature lovers, the cabin itself doesn't offer that same "escape" into nature—it felt more like a place to sleep rather than a retreat. Another issue was the noise. We could hear at least three dogs barking consistently, both day and night, which made it hard to relax or enjoy the outdoor spaces. The backyard, which we thought would be private, isn’t fully enclosed, and it didn’t provide the tranquility we were looking for. A final concern was the $50 pet fee, which was charged automatically but wasn’t disclosed anywhere in the reservation details or policies. I reached out to the host about this, but unfortunately, she was not willing to address it and told me to contact VRBO. If you're looking for a place to stay while you explore the surrounding area, this cabin works for that purpose. However, if peace and quiet are important to you, this might not be the best fit.

Cleanliness and exterior appearance
Satisfied with the house and amenities, other than the kitchen area ,specifically the range/stove top being greasy and in need of a good overall cleaning. The cleaning crew appears in need of being followed up especially with the cleaning charges . The yard needs some tidying up and the back of the house / porch needs exterior cleaning..

Wish there was better access from the deck down to the river. My wife has a difficult time walking and was only able to make it down to see the river one time. We did enjoy sitting and reading in the screened in porch. House was clean and well equipped.

Cozy but Roomy River Cabin
My husband and I were looking for a place to stay on a river for Memorial Day Weekend. This was the perfect spot! Private community on the Jackson River…the river is right out the back door! We relaxed on the porch and just listened to the water roll by. When we were ready to eat the kitchen was fully stocked with what we needed. Time for bed meant choosing between 2 rooms each with its own private bathroom. There was plenty of room for us to do our own things when it rained- tv, games, books were all there for us to use with plenty of space to stretch out. We had a wonderful time.

Stopover
We had a comfortable 3 night stay at your River retreat en route to Ohio for the solar eclipse. The weather was unfortunately very cold which restricted our outdoor activities. The cabin was cozy and clean with a very comfortable bed. The only thing missing was a toaster! Thank you.
