    Went there for our honeymoon ! The place was very cozy & just perfect for what we wanted. Fairly private, right on the river, beautiful scenery & we caught a fish !! Stairs going to the bedroom are a bit tricky but blend perfectly with the cabin. Cabin was spotless and had everything we needed. We will return !!! *****

    I stayed here to get away from the noise of life for a few days. I can't say this cabin was conducive to that. I did not realize there is a 10-foot or more drop down to the river, or that there is nowhere to walk on the property, or that the road is right behind the cabin. The noise of the traffic was incredibly loud, especially the motorcycles. That being said, once I adjusted my attitude, it was a decent stay. The view from the porch is lovely, with fish jumping in the river and birds flying up close and resting on the railing. The cabin was clean and had everything I needed. It's the perfect size for 1 or 2 people. The bed is quite comfortable and naps were enjoyed. The host was very responsive when questions arose. The wifi worked well (no phone signal, so it was needed to be able to keep in touch with my family). The instructions were very clear and I had no issues while there. The bathroom was a little tough, as the toilet is super close to the tub and I had to sit sideways to use it. I would not recommend this for anyone large or anyone who has trouble getting up once seated. All in all, it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but it's a well-kept, nice place with a lovely view.

    Just a few remarks…We ABSOLUTELY loved the cabin and River!!! Biggest negatives were 1. LONG grass made it annoying to enjoy outdoor area. 2. Afternoon we arrived it was HOT in cabin, especially downstairs. Needs a window unit downstairs, especially for summer . We cooled it down in the evening with our box fan and open doors both evenings and mornings. Grateful for the two fans provided, we moved one upstairs. 3. We are older….could have used more light upstairs. 4. The WiFi was very spotty and no phone service for us . Difficult to watch tv at night. Rebooted router couple times and that helped. Everything else was GREAT!!! Would definitely recommend but would forewarn about the “things” mentioned.

    The cabin was lovely and meticulously maintained. The inside is absolutely gorgeous. The property owner was incredibly responsive both before our trip and upon our arrival. This made for the perfect romantic getaway for two.

    If you like The Rustic cabin you'll love this place to stay the only problem we had is if you are a larger person extra large or larger you won't be able to sit on the toilet the toilet sits right up to the tub you won't be able to put your legs in front of you that was the only problem

    We had a lovely stay. Loved sitting on the porch swing listening to the river. Bed was comfortable. Kitchen was equipped for cooking small meals. The bedroom and bathroom can be a bit of a challenge for the big and tall guest. Not extremely quiet and secluded. Once you figure out how to recline the couch its more comfortable (handle inside the left and right side cushions). Enjoyed ourselves and would stay again.

    Outstanding host! Glory days is truly a little slice of historic heaven. Cozy, private cabin with all the necessities. I can’t stress enough how great the hosts and their company are. They have your best interests at heart and are available when needed. We enjoyed toasty fires in the fire pit, fishing and local gem mines the most.

    Quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Place was very clean and accomadations were great. I suggest bringing your own food and just staying there. Owner is super friendly and everything went great!

    I was not able to stay at the cabin because I tried and tried but could not find it. My gps couldn’t find the address and I wasn’t able to get hold of the owner Feeling very disappointed and I wasted almost $400 for the stay

    Adorable little cabin along the river. Very quaint, clean and well maintained. Had everything we needed. Stairs to bedroom are rustic and a little tricky at night. Would have enjoyed a picnic table or porch table for outdoor eating. Highly recommend for a couples getaway
