Maumee river & Metroparks are here!
this was a perfect cozy cabin experience. everything provided if you left something behind. Chuck was very helpful with directions and when refilling the generator. Love the wood stove, we took the chance to cook inside instead of in the cold on a gas stove

Lovely spot, just as cozy as can be! Chuck showed us how to operate the cabin and we spent a warm night snuggled up inside. It was a little cold and snowy to use the expansive front porch to admire the river, but we look forward to another visit during the warmer months:).

Escape from reality
Had a awesome time, very secluded with lots of nature's wonders all around. Very peaceful kicking back and rockin on deck as river floats on by. The cabin is very nice the main bed is in the loft and with no railing if steps are down can be very tricky, handles are installed to help. The bed is incased In plastic so for those that are sound sensitive ( like myself) it could prove to be problematic. Also not the most comfortable. Other than that we really enjoyed our escape to uncle chucks, and thank them for their hospitality. Terri & Sam

Great cabin by the river with a fun fire pit for making s'mores. The host provided easy directions, and the pets off-leash policy was nice for our cat and dog, making it a great place for morning coffee.
