What Guests Are Saying

The Red Ives Cabin is a fantastic getaway with amazing fishing and essential amenities like a propane fireplace and a full kitchen. While some updates are needed, such as the shower and bathroom faucet, the cabin is clean and better than advertised. However, increased traffic in the area can detract from its serene atmosphere.

The cabin was clean and refrigerator working. A few mice but to be expected. Great fishing.

Forty miles from the nearest towns and you have a propane fireplace, a full kitchen, hot water, and a bathroom with a flush toilet and shower. Amazing. Better than advertised. Do bring lanterns. The brighter the better.

We had a wonderful time! There was significantly more traffic in the area than we have experienced ever before, starting very early in the morning (3:30 am) which distracts from the cabins serenity. Thank you for making tge cabin available.

Have been going to the cabin for about 10 years now. Couple of things I'd suggest that need to be addressed. 1) The shower/tub needs upgrading. Tiles are falling off the walls and is a little gross. 2) The sink faucet in the bathroom has been broken for years.
Other than that it's a great place to go and the fishing can be specular.
