Leave the crowded city behind and get away to the country. Minutes from groceries and restaurants, but with an off the grid feel. Lots of parking. Nearby attractions include Smoke hole caverns, Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob, Nelson rock and many more. Cabin offers full kitchen and living room. Covered porch to sit and relax. Huge deck on the river with cornhole, shuffleboard. Charcoal and gas grill for cooking. The bar/deck area is a common area for our Happy Bottom community. Firepit by the river for bonfires. Firewood bundles available for $7. Easy in and out river access for kayaks and rafts.
The bar area is located right along the river. Calm, shallow section of river and easy to get in. Wade out and take a swim or spend the day floating on a tube or raft.
Kayaks and rafts are available to rent. $10 a day to paddle/float around our Happy Bottom section of river. $30 if you want to float the river.

It was a nice small campground. Beautiful community tiki bar with lots of amenities. A short walk to the river and you can hear the rapids from the cabin. Our family had a wonderful stay.

Family time

The place was just as it says. We enjoyed staying and the river being so close. The bar area was really nice the first night. Saturday night was a bit busy with other people using the bar area. We were going to join but to many otger people that were not staying in the other places showed up. So we just enjoyed tge porch.

Perfect getaway

The trailer home was immaculate and very well appointed! The host had thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. The bar/dock by the water was so much fun! There were games, grills, tables and lounge chairs to chill. The shallow river water was perfect for kids and pup to play. The host was very responsive and even mailed us an item we had forgotten. We will definitely be back!

The deck/bar in the riverfront was awesome..The trailer we rented was ok but I do feel some of the old buildings in the area should be removed and property maintenance could use improvement

Not what we were expecting

Property was next to two trailers that were never mentioned in the listing. Photos of property were misleading. Small glass window was missing so the property was difficult to keep cool even with both acs on full blast. Issues with draining bathtub when showering at the property.

Ok stay

The property itself was not bad, my family and I fit perfectly. It did get a little hot during the day because there is only one a/c unit in the living room. Although the river was a few steps away from the property, we could not enjoy it as much because there is no privacy. The owners lives right there and there is 4 other campers rentals in the same space. The bar listed gets pretty packed so how are you supposed to use the grill or do any of the activities listed. There is also the owners dog running around all the time, trying to get into the property and if you bring a pet well you have to make sure they are by your side all the time. I guess if you are looking to relax and have some privacy this is not the place for you.

Wonderful stay

My family ( including 3 kids age 3-10) had a great time. Communication with the owner was great, the property was fantastic, close to smoke hole caverns. We also visited black waterfalls state park. The cabin was fully stocked and right on the river. Our favorite part was the outside deck. Gas and charcoal grills, music, and tvs, board games, shuffleboard, corn hole ect.

Zero stars! this rental is advertised as a cabin, we arrive to find out it’s a dilapidated 70 year old, single wide trailer with wood siding screwed to the outside to make it look like a cabin. The kitchen cabinets literally have the doors falling off the hinges, the refrigerator froze all of our food. You have to walk about 100 yards to get to the grill if you want to grill some food. The bathroom measures 4’x4’ no room to put anything! We have stayed in three star hotels that were less money than this hole in the wall. Would not recommend this rental to anyone!!!

Little gem in Petersburg by the river

We had a fabulous weekend! Our family was in town for a jackpot show. The cabin accommodated 3 teenage girls and their parents very well! 😂 The outside area by the river was FABULOUS! We had a family meal, games, music, a fire, by the river! Relaxing! Enjoyable! The hosts happened to be close by working on projects and are responsive and SUPER ACCOMMODATING! We will definitely rent again next year!

Family Spring Break Getaway

Our family (including our dog) was looking for a comfortable, affordable place to stay where there was access to fishing, hiking and some local restaurants while our son was home from college for Spring Break. The Happy Bottom Cabin was all of these. We stayed in March, therefore couldn’t take full ascot all the amenities the property had to offer, but the cabin was plenty spacious and comfortable, and the outdoor game/patio area was spectacular (even in March). Petersburg doesn’t have a lot to offer this time of year in terms of restaurants, and/or shops, but we did enjoy Smokehole Caverns, Seneca Rocks, hiking trails and fly fishing nearby. Darlene and family were excellent hosts and very easy to work/communicate with. A great, quiet, comfortable (not fancy) getaway!
