Very clean. Quiet. Had everything we needed. Except needs more garbage bags. Steps to water would be nice. There are plenty of things to do not far from the cabin. We enjoyed oir stay. We would stay again.

Non mi è piaciuto: Pulizia
Lovely place with nice view of the river. Cabin is a great space to recharge. It's a shame that there are maintenance issues that have gone unattended for a long time. Grill is not safe to use. Kitchen faucet leaks onto floor. Light out over bar. Two chairs in screen porch unsafe to use. Screens torn letting in mosquitoes. Screen door needs rehung. Cabin doors neither work correctly creating a security hazard. General cleaning needed. The place needs a little love

Nice weekend
The cabin was nice and quite if your looking for a place to detach this is it . A path to the river would have been AWSOME to go fishing but not at the current time :(

amazing river view
The cabin was well equipped and cozy. The view of the river was great, even from inside. We enjoyed spending time in the screened room which protected us from bugs. Birders should know that we saw nearly 50 species in just a few days, WOW! Sarah, the caretaker, went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. Looking forward to booking again.

Overall it was alright
The view was lovely and the beds comfy. There was a few maintenance things that put a damper on our stay. (shower water didnt get hot no matter where I put it, stairs to the loft are a bit sketch). It was almost everything we were looking for. A cozy little cabin in the woods by a river

Nice little cabin
This cabin was perfect for a relaxing weekend. The owner was very kind, made sure we had everything we needed, and was quick to respond to any questions. We grilled, sat around the fire at night, and slept in! When we did decide to venture out we went to the Maple Leaf Farm (which the kids loved!) and went fishing. If it had been warmer we would have loved to spend time at one of the nearby beaches but still had a great time.

The property is pretty much as described. There is no WIFI or cell phone signal. Very quaint and I considered it a great deal considering the price point.

off grid stay
The cabin was very cute and cozy and on a pretty setting overlooking the river. My only problem is that there is no WIFI and the cell service is VERY limited. There was no cell signal at all inside the cabin for my Verizon phone and my girlfriend's ATT service connected inside, but wasn't strong enough to run a hotspot.

Secluded location
If you want to unplug and have a secluded location, this is definitely the cabin you need. I had requested central air but found out too late that there is only a window AC unit in the dining area. But the nights were fairly cool and with the fan I brought I was very comfortable. Mattresses, furniture and carpet were all old but we didn’t spend a lot of time at the cabin so we only used it a little. But being a pet friendly cabin, I didn’t expect it to be newly renovated.

Was a nice property over all. They showed a game room area in the pictures that was not a thing at all. They also mentioned coin laundry and that was not a thing either. The screen room could of have been a touch cleaner. Book at the property had different check out instructions then the email I recevied so that was a little confusing checking out.

Weekend getaway
Property was clean and enough space for our family. On arrival grass was extremely long, we had to use a yard bug spray. No propane to use the grill as stated in the listing, an empty tank was left to be filled, what an inconvenience. No firewood. Although this house sits on the river, absolutely no river access, it’s a straight drop off to the river, so don’t plan on getting off or on the river near this house. Never stayed at a rental that offered absolutely no amenities.

River Cabin Merritt
We have few complaints. The cabin had ants, the water lines to the shower are crisscrossed..hot water was on the cold side and cold was on the hot side. The TV remote was missing and we emailed about it but never was contacted. So no TV for us. The cabin really needs to have Wifi. I dont want to be blamed for the missing remote. It was clean..bedding was cleaned and we slept well.

Unplugged
The location is remote with breathtaking view. It was well equipped with everything for an away from home stay; except heat! The furnace was out and pellet fire place didn't work. The property manager Georgia and her husband Jay were Johnny on the spot trying to fix anything we needed done and brought out electric heaters. They were great and very friendly and helpful; including replacing the toaster that didn't work.
Great place if you need to find yourself and let the distractions of this world disappear! And the people in town were very friendly and helpful! Esp. John at WalMart computer desk, Jay at Tobacco store, and Tammy at used bookstore.
