We have stayed at this house two years in a row now. It is a wonderful place to stay for our family outing. We take our side by side's and enjoy the river below.

This was our family’s second time staying at the cabin. We love being able to enjoy the comfort and amenities of the cabin while being in such a remote location. I could sit on the porch and stare out at the view all day long. It’s a super special place!

It took us 3hrs to find our cabin. We expected the long travel from TX to Missouri but we didn't anticipate it taking us 3hrs to locate the cabin after arriving. My husband, son and I all reached out to Jeff, the property manager, for help with no response. Finally when he did answer he hung up on us with never reaching back out to us or answering our calls. We did finally find the cabin with the help of our son's navigation skills. Once arriving we are hit with another problem, no working air conditioner or ice machine... Luckily for us the owner, Tim, was there and worked his tail off to get it fixed. Our 1st night was pretty warm with only using fans, Tim supplied for us. We also had a bag of ice in the freezer since no ice machine. Tim was fantastic and we greatly appreciated the lengths he went to to make our stay enjoyable after learning all we had been through. The AC was back up and running at full capacity on Tuesday. With all this we still had an incredible time! Making memories with our grandson and enjoying family time. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to return ourselves one day. THANK YOU, TIM! The Hale family.

The cabin is extremely nice well thought out and up to date. The view and river are perfect for enjoying summer days and cooling off. The Owners Tim and Deanna are very friendly and accommodating. We will be back soon.

View was great. Was little disappointed that AC and ice maker did not work as advertised

As described

This property was exactly what we were looking for….private and remote space to be able to bring our dogs and allow our son and his friends to enjoy time on the river and ATVs.

Property owner very easy to work with. Amazing view. The kid had fun playing in the crystal clear river. Very relaxing place to spend time with family and friends.

The view alone was worth the booking, we spent mornings with coffee and sunsets just watching clouds roll through the valley because it was beautiful. The cabin itself is very nicely appointed, the photos don't do it justice! Major plus that there's a dedicated icemaker. Access to the river does require a 4wd vehicle to make it easy and quick, at which point the cabin location is really excellent. Walking is possible but the steep grade makes it a chore if that's your only means to get to the river. Excellent instructions for the cabin, lists of things to do and communication from the owner.

We took a float trip to the Black River and stayed here for an extended weekend. It was perfect. The view was absolutely amazing. The pictures can't even do it justice. The cabin was clean, stocked, and well maintained. Even though we spent most of our time outdoors, it was a nice escape from the heat. The canopy and chairs provided were a nice touch. While the cabin is great, it's the location and atmosphere that set this place apart. The cabin is totally secluded with easy access to the river via hike, ATV, or truck (4WD is a must to get to the river). I hiked the trail up and down 3 times and, while it has some steep terrain, if you take your time it's not too bad. All in all, there is nothing I would change about the cabin. We've been taking a yearly float trip for the past 8 years, and this was far and away the best cabin experience. We were all hopeful to visit again.

This is our 3rd time renting this property for an outdoor adventure weekend. We floated the Black River and rode ATVs and UTVs all over the place. This place has so many options for a good time. I see they are building another cabin on the property which should be twice the fun. The pictures of this place never do it justice. We will be back again next year.

We had everything we needed for our family weekend gathering.

We had 9 adult family members together for a weekend of floating the Black River — this house was the perfect home base! We loved the beautiful river views and the house was nice with all the accommodations needed. We went down to the river per the instructions from the house the first evening and agree that you need 4-wheel drive. We even parked our SUV on the creek bed and walked the approx. .25 mile to the river. We used two different river outfitters — Jeff’s Canoe from Annapolis, it was a great float with beautiful bluffs, very convenient from the house. The next day, we went to Franklin’s out of Lesterville — a further drive and it was much busier on that part of the river, busier spot and it was a Saturday. We still enjoyed the river and had time to check our Johnson Shut-ins and Elephant Rock State Park — both worth a visit if you’re in the area! We made all our meals at the house - grilled and made use of the big kitchen. It’s the perfect spot for a big family gathering!

This is an amazing place to stay. The property overlooks the river, and allows you to sit and state the day away if you choose! We love coming here. Cabin is clean, and well stocked! Looking forward to our next stay!

Awesome view Cabin was great Secluded Definitely need an ATV to utilize the river

Adults, teenagers and young children all had a great time!

This charming cabin is spacious and includes all modern amenities. The view of the river valley is lovely and inspiring…a great example of God’s creation! The secluded location provides for privacy, but encounters with the locals prove friendly and helpful. Be prepared for a rugged trek to the river, but it’s worth the effort. We would definitely come here again.

This property was amazing! What a beautiful view! The hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions we had. Plenty of room for our friends and children to spread out! We are already planning our next trip down!

Property was perfect for a long weekend to just relax and enjoy time with family. Just sitting outside by the campfire and laughing was well worth the trip. My wife and are are already looking at when we can go back again for a longer stay. Will make sure to bring side by side this time now that I know the road better to the cabin. Would highly recommend if looking for a quiet relaxing weekend.

The property is absolutely beautiful and view is breathtaking. We would absolutely love to go back someday.

We had an amazing vacation at the cabin. It is the most secluded we've ever felt in the continental US. The stars were absolutely brilliant at night. The view is gorgeous. The cabin is well-maintained and clean. The property manager is responsive to texts and very helpful. Would love to come again!!

We had a wonderful time communing with the Black River from our cabin high on the hill. The view was unparalleled and we enjoyed the feeling of being truly isolated. The cabin was well appointed and made for a very comfortable stay. Jeff made himself available for any questions that came up for us. We would definitely recommend this cabin to others looking to get away from it all and have a first rate experience on the Black River. We hope to return in the future.
