ON the River. Can't get much closer. The cabin was beautifully decorated and very clean. Supplied all means of cooking/eating/utensils/pans/dishes. The porch was perfect for sitting, relaxing, waving at the raft passengers floating by. We took a couple of long walks, covered bridges, local restaurant was really good. We saw a beaver, ducks, birds of prey, a chipmunk decided to play tag with my foot! It was a great trip. We will be back.
