McKenzie Bridge River's Edge Retreat, a cozy cabin on over two acres

10/10 Excellent
"This home is so peaceful and its location, beautiful. Not a neighbor in sight! It was a thrill to see and hear the rushing river in the middle of summer and so much greenery out every window! My husband and I will definitely be back! We found everything we needed for our stay in the well-stocked kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. We sat on the large deck to bird watch and wave at the passing rafters. My husband and I will definitely be back!"
