Drove from Ontario to stay here and loved it. The trails were great and I loved how secluded it was! Felt good to unplug for a few days. Trip was cut a bit short due to a cold but I may book again in the future.

Cabin was beautiful as usual. River was flowing nicely. One thing though. The bathrooms were almost unusable. I’m simply comparing them to last fall’s visit when they were immaculate
