This was our third time at this rental. We love the view of the river and mountain. The home is clean, with a couple quirks, like the upstairs tub faucet that won’t stop dripping, a dryer on its last legs and some very used kitchen wares, but all stuff that doesn’t rule out repeat stays. We’ll be back. A great getaway just an hour away from the suburbs.

The view is the only reason I would stay here, never had a more beautiful peaceful view but even that has cons. Pics make it look like you can walk out to the river, you can’t, steep drop off. Still beautiful blue river to gaze at. I understand this was affordable for us due to these cons but here they are. The cabin is rustic, needs a good remodel. Really disliked I booked through VRBO and then it’s run by Vasca so I had to get a whole new app just to manage everything. The Vasca cleaning crew leaves a little cleaning basket of dishwasher detergent and pods for a dishwasher that doesn’t exist! I don’t mind doing dishes but leave what I need to wash by hand not for something that’s not there. There is no AC and gets nice and cool at night if you know how to keep a house cool that way. The guests or crew before us did not and we arrived to a sunny stuffy hot cabin that took us a day to cool back down. Again location is the gem to this cabin, cons make it affordable but very rustic. Don’t plan on sitting down to chill with some tv at night, no streaming and very limited and outdated dvds.

Our party of 6 really enjoyed this home. It's a bit old/outdated but had everything you need, it was clean and most importantly such a beautiful spot. Sitting outside in the morning with a cup of coffee by the river and making s'mores around the fire at night. Index is also a very cute town and very easy to walk around from the house and find swimming spots. I would definitely come back again.

The river sounds lovely- it is inaccessible from the property and there is a steep dropoff from the rocks- keep kids and pets away. The home was clean and quaint, but definitely needs work.

We enjoyed our stay by the riverside. The property was clean and welcoming. The major inconvenience was the plumbing issues with clogged sink and leaking from kitchen ceiling.

The mountain views and river just off the deck were wonderful. Couple great hikes close by. Our expectations for a quiet and relaxing stay were met.
