This was such a beautiful cabin in such a gorgeous setting. So much love went into this cabin & it shows in all the little details. From the river rock outlined trails in back that lead you along the river, to the outdoor shower nestled into the oak trees next to the back porch with its amazing view, there are so many little details that add to this already amazing cabin. Everything in the design of river willow cabin seems to have been planned out just perfectly.
Our hosts, Rod & Carol, were wonderful too. They were easy to communicate with & went out of their way to be sure we had everything we needed. This very welcoming cabin was quiet, extremely clean & really could not have been more perfect!




Rod & Carol’s cabin was incredible.
Never have I stayed in a more perfectly kept and supplied cabin. The location was peaceful and the lodging was so comfortable we didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be back soon.
This was such a beautiful cabin in such a gorgeous setting. So much love went into this cabin & it shows in all the little details. From the river rock outlined trails in back that lead you along the river, (& the river is beautiful!), to the outdoor shower nestled into the oak trees next to the back porch with its amazing view, there are so many little details that add to this already amazing cabin. The light fixtures even had old timey style bulbs. Everything in the design of river willow cabin seems to have been planned out just perfectly. The hosts have managed to combine unobtrusive & user friendly tech, (kitchen appliances, etc.,) with solid wood, brick & river rock in a way that blends perfectly.
Our hosts, Rod & Carol, were wonderful too. They were easy to communicate with & went out of their way to be sure we had everything we needed. The cabin was super quite, extremely clean & had a very welcoming, cozy vintage feel.
My only regret in having booked this cabin is that now I worry our expectations may be set unreasonably high for our other future vacation rentals. This place really could not have been better!




This place is pure magic. One of those you don’t want to review because I’ll never get to book it again. Everything was 5 stars. Highly recommend.
