Absolutely loved this little house in the woods by the river, it was the perfect getaway! Peaceful, private, surrounded by nature, and had everything you could possibly need. Rebecca and her husband were so kind and welcoming. I was genuinely fascinated by the whole experience. Will definitely be coming back!

A Frame Adventure

This little cabin by the river was such a nice place to unwind and explore all that the Willenborg Woods have to offer. The trails are clearly marked and take you through a variety of views. The hosts were responsive and helpful during the entire stay, with the highlight being a morning basket of farm fresh eggs, hot coffee, and a warm, delicious pastry. We could not recommend this rental enough!

This place was so awesome! The hosts were wonderful. The cabin is a short trail ride from where you park. A little piece of heaven, secluded and private with the exception of the occasional kayaker in the river. Hike the trails of just sit and watch the river go by, so peaceful. Comfy queen bed, solar to charge your phone, cast iron to cook on the campfire, outhouse, shower (up the hill, but they'll come give you a ride), fresh eggs, baked goods and coffee delivered in the morning. We rented kayaks and they took us up river to put in, we took out at our campsite. If you're looking to relax and recharge this is definitely the spot! We will definitely be back!!
