Previous person left behind some bits of trash and there was still a fire smoldering in the fire pit. The host was quick to respond to my concern and I was able to get water from the bath house to put it out. It was an adorable little cabin though and close to the river. It would have been nice if someone was actually on site.

Amazing lace to stay. Katie was such a great help with everything. Recommend floating the river.

Such a cute spot. It reminds me of going camping when I was younger but you are in a structure with some power. If you stay in the pod in the summer during the day, bring an extra fan. At night we left the side open, our battery operated fan died, and their fan was more than enough. It stayed very cool. During the day it wasn’t though. It’s very close to town, so you can go to town, or do Ubereats or Grubhub.
Overall good experience. Went with my husband but would love to take my teenage children and put them some of the other pods.

The scenery was beautiful and the manager was very responsive with answering questions. They are working on getting power out to the pods which will be nice in the future. We ended up having to leave and not spending the night but look forward to trying again in the future.
