- "The cabin is great, close to fishing, tons of beds. Highly recommend " - "Was absolutely amazing, my entire party admired the cabin! " - "The cabin was exactly as described--clean, spacious, and comfortable. The host was very responsive both before our stay and during, which was appreciated. Cell service was spotty (not the host's fault), so just something to be aware of as there is no wifi/internet available as listed in the description. I was glad I brought a few extra fans, especially on the hotter 90F days, to help keep the dogs cool (I received approval from the host prior to bringing both dogs). Overall, I had a great time and found the place easy to locate. Would recommend"

- "This cabin is a perfect home base for up north adventures! The North Country Trail is very close for hiking and biking, and when we weren't doing that, we were relaxing at the cabin. It's beautiful inside, the beds and furniture are all very comfy and everything was nice and clean and new. We loved all the outdoor seating - the picnic table just outside the kitchen gets the morning sun, the covered porch at the front of the house gets the evening sun, and the fire pit was the perfect way to end every day. Highly recommended!"

I came across this listing and was very intrigued with the location and access points. Before we arrived, the owners were amazing with the communication. They told us all about the good fishing spots because I had told them my boys were excited to fish. When we got there the cabin was exactly like what was listed. They even put a swing up before we got there for my little one! The property was beautiful, it had a little bit of something for everyone. We enjoyed a nice night by the bonfire and my kid's played basketball. Overall, we had an amazing experience. We are already excited to book again next year."

- "Jordo’s place was great! My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days with our dog and 1 year old and each one of us really enjoyed our time! The cabin feels very safe and secluded. We enjoyed the little walking trails around the property and loved sitting around the fire pit. We did not check out the nearby beach because it was not dog friendly but have read wonderful things about it from other reviews. The place was also very clean and well stocked with essentials for daily living. Would love to stay again in the future!"

When 4 ppl wake up all at the same time in the middle of the night racing to the bathroom to go potty. Lol. That wasn't fun. Lol. But other than that it was a very nice stay.

REVIEWS
"We enjoyed the peacefulness of this stay at Cabin 4. The high, large, full windows all along the front of the home gave a beautiful view of soaring trees and river. The caretaker, Tim, was very helpful.. He was very friendly and told us about the property, the history of it and much more. The owner of the property was at the lodge and also was very friendly. We explored the woods in the area. It was beautiful. We didn't hear anyone else and we enjoyed this quietness to hear only nature and the river. There were cabins much further down the road; they were not visible. A group was at Cabin 2, but we didn't hear them at all. This is a special spot. Thank you for sharing it with us"

We spent a lot of time there as a family playing games together. The river was very nice to just sit and listen to and also splash around in when the weather was hot. The firepit out front was great as well. No complaints here at all."

- "We loved staying in the yurt. It was quiet, peaceful, spotless and private." - "I hate to give a five star summary because it means more bookings and less availability. But here is the honest truth. First and foremost it is CLEAN! It is NOT the base camp for the "guys" headed up north to see how many cases of beer they can drink. It is a great location for the wife and kids, especially if the wife has a dislike for the typical "cabin" the guys are used to staying in for the weekend salmon fishing trip. There are things I would definitely change about the property but that is personal preference. The yurt is laid out nicely with little privacy but more than a hotel room. The Kitchen has everything you need with many minor details included (zip lock bags, spice rack, coffee, etc.). The bathroom is very nicely finished but is a bit of a walk away from the yurt, not too far but enough that in the rain it is an imposition. Again, very CLEAN. I did not feel that I needed dollar store flip flops in order to shower. The setting is very quiet with the exception of the neighbors rooster who lets you know that 6:30 a.m. has arrived yet again. In short it was a perfect adventure. One that the wife and our kids hope to make a yearly memory if not more frequently. So anyone reading this, please go elsewhere so you don't make it more difficult for me... LOL, but seriously"
