While the weather was less than cooperative the sound of the river and birds singing, while enjoying a cup of coffee sitting on the front porch was exactly what the Dr ordered! Hopefully we’ll get to return again someday

Awesome time playing on the river
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The river is absolutely gorgeous, and it is where we spent most of our time playing. The cabin is very private and is the perfect place to unplug and relax. The only sounds you hear is the river and the birds. Highly recommended.

Beautiful secluded incredibly awesome
Nobody else around for miles, except the occasional canoe on the river - like having your own private scenic river with bluffs in the mountains on the National Scenic Riverway. Wonderful little cabin, way better than the most glamorous of camping. Lots of cut and split firewood ready to go by the firepit, plus charcoal grill and outdoor gas grill, and everything needed for S’mores! HUGE PLUS - your own private beach an 2 kayaks to paddle right up to the gorgeous bluff formations on the far side of the river…a great swimming hole at your doorstep. Wonderful experience for us during the total eclipse - all alone with nature. Best place ever!

Wonderful getaway on the Jack Fork River!
The property was amazing, lots of nice touches inside and very clean. Short walk down to the gravel bar on the Jacks Fork River. We loved the wood burning stove inside and firepit outside! Host was very responsive and helpful. Looking forward to staying here again!

Absolutely Amazing!
Absolutely loved everything about this amazing place. It was the most peaceful spot I’ve been to in my entire life. Hearing nothing but nature and not seeing a single soul but our family and dog for 4 days. If you like the peacefulness and quiet this is a perfect spot for you. We had a family of 5 and a dog and it was cozy but we were outside the majority of the time. We will defiantly be looking forward to coming back to this exact spot. It was perfect. Thank you to the family for your hospitality. Definitely a gem you have there!

A river cabin like no other
If you want a cabin away from noisy campgrounds and constant sound of traffic this is your place.Having the jacks fork river to swim and fish footsteps away is something you just don’t find very often. Keep in mind to get to the cabin it’s a small trip down a gravel road but is worth every minute, when you get there you’ll understand. Logan’s response to questions or concerns are answered almost immediately, thanks for everything you offer.See u soon

Beautiful Retreat
This is the ultimate peaceful retreat. Quiet and secluded. I’ve been to a number of VRBO for the last 7 years and this is one of our favorites so far. Loved the location and how secluded it is. My dogs were able to run and explore. Make sure to bring the bug spray because you are completely out in the wilderness. The drive was beautiful. The river was perfect. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone that loves nature and looking to get away for a little peace.

A great family getaway
This is the perfect family getaway! The cabin is very remote surround by trees and walking distance to the river. The cabin is very well stocked with pantry items available as well. The beds and pillow were amazing and high quality. The AC worked great and was easy to use. There were plenty of river towels and shower towels available, which was great because we forgot ours. The cabin is small, but there was enough room comfortably for 4 adults and 2 children. The house size didn’t matter to us because we were either outside or by the river. There are two routes to the river from the cabin. One way being a pretty steep direct path from the cabin to the river, the path is narrow but cleared. The other path you can walk but it is a bit of a distance, the road is windy and downhill and there is a small clearing through the trees from the private road to the river. We drove our truck down the road, as my parents were with us and could make the hike down either paths. Once at the river, it is the most perfect spot with a private gravel bar. As you enter the river, it is about ankle deep and as you go across it gets deeper where you can swim. We spent all day at the river and next we will take our canopy shelter so there was some shade for the kids because there’s not much shade from the trees. In the evening, we spent our time by the fire pit and in the hot tub, which was a nice bonus. There’s a grill on site along with a couple kayaks that can be used at the river. We had the best time and will definitely be back!
