Dardanelle accommodation from NZ$363

It was basically closed for the season. No one there to answer questions. Restaurant said it would open but did not. No coffee. No breakfast. No one.

This is by far one of the BEST VRBO rentals we have ever stayed in! We absolutely LOVED the place. It exceeded our expectations for location, amenities, cleanliness, coziness....just everything you could hope for in a rental. We will be booking again as soon as we're able.Upon driving up to the cabin, we could see that it was situated right on the riverfront as stated in the description. The cabin was clean, charming, well appointed, cozy and roomy. While we only stayed in the 1st floor, there is room upstairs for at least 8 other guests if not more and aside from the bathroom downstairs, there were 2 more full bathrooms upstairs. The sunroom off the 1st floor bedroom is so cozy and surrounded by windows to watch the beautiful river and pine trees....perfect for reading. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need for cooking. Modern countertops and appliances. Comfy couches and recliner in living room, gas fireplaces that turn on with the flick of a switch for heating. Everything is done right in this cabin.The large decks had so much room and looked out over the river & forest. The lower deck next to the river was a great place to relax, sun and fish a little. Great place to relax!Jim was a fantastic host, responded to texts about check in promptly and left us alone unless we needed anything. Just a wonderful place, wonderful and relaxing stay and overall positive experience. Can't wait to go back!

We took advantage of the "Book 2 nights get the 3rd night free" in March, which was a great value. Without getting the 3rd night free, it might feel a bit too expensive.This was our second time staying at this cabin, and we had a great experience both times. Two years ago, it was MLK weekend and there was so much snow, we could sled down the hill in between the neighbors' houses! This time (in March), there was barely any snow and it was a balmy 70 degrees and sunny every day. There was just barely enough snow to ski in t-shirt weather at Dodge Ridge.The cabin is spacious and fun for two families to share. The bottom two bedrooms get really cold at night, so be prepared to either feel like you're camping outside, or use one of the space heaters. The upstairs loft sleeps 6 and is quite cozy. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of mismatched dishes, utensils, and pots — it's just a little haphazard and can take a minute to find everything.Darlene was helpful and easy to communicate with. The checkout process was especially simple. We returned a second time and would definitely return in the future, too. Thank you for hosting us!
