For being only 40 mins from home, this felt like we were much further away then we were. We immediately fell in love with this beautiful little river cabin. The picture windows with full view of the river was amazing. The cabin with very clean, had everything we needed to be comfortably: cooking supplies, coffee maker, towels, robes, games, puzzles, movies.... everything. We loved watching the fly fishers out every morning as we drank our coffee from the living room. Very close to the Wallace Falls Trail head, which is a beautiful hike. Though it rained all weekend, the places whole vibe made it a relaxing and beautiful weekend. Hang out in the hot tub while the rain pours down on the roof above or cuddle up on the couch inside with a good book. Perfection.
The only criticism: in the VRBO listing, there was no mention i could see about the train tracks and potential for noise. The tracks are quite literally behind the home, not to mention, so it HWY 2. Now, it wasn't as bothersome as it could have been, rhe river was louder. However, it wasn't until after we booked that the property management let us know the details. This should be disclosed prior to guests making decisions so their better educated on their decision. I would have appreciated these details up front. This is my opinion.
All in all, with everything said, I would still reccomend this as a weekend getaway. It was pretty awesome.
