Shipp's Landing-Cozy Secluded Retreat on the Water

Great place to stay.

The owners were very kind and helpful from the very beginning. Being this was our first time ever staying at any kind of rented cabin/home, they made it easy. I'm very outdoorsy and enjoy seclusion and this fit the bill. While off the beaten path a little I appreciated that. It was for my wife and I's 26th Anniversary and I wanted to surprise her with a getaway but with one that I could enjoy as well. She was very pleased with my choice. The cabin is very cozy and quaint but still has a serene comfort with the gas log fireplace, or the large deck overlooking the river with the relaxing sound of the water. Steps leading right down to the waters edge allowed fishing although we didn't manage to catch anything. We found ourselves mostly listening to Praise & Worship music on the sound system, and playing games and enjoying each others conversation and time away together. The trains across the river might seem like an annoyance to some, but brought back memories of my wife and I's first house together when we lived in Nebraska that was much closer to the tracks than this cabin. We didn't make use of the kayaks provided as was concerned with the water temperature with the nights dipping into the 40's during our stay. All in all was a very memorable experience and would be delighted to stay with them again in the future!

Cabin was very cute and clean. Bit of an unexpected drive to get to it but it was worth it!

It was amazing we had such a blast

We go to the river several times a year and this is by far the best place we’ve stayed at. The host was amazing and checked in with us regularly to make sure we were good and had zero issues. Will definitely be back.

Cabin was great, back deck was amazing! Weather was perfect, fish were biting! We’ll be back next year!

Unfortunately, we arrived just after a LARGE rainstorm and wet Spring. The cabin is nestled 10-15 minutes deep into dirt backroads and we were blocked by a massively flooding creek that prevented us from reaching the cabin. I contacted the host(Caitlyn) that we wouldn’t be able to reach the cabin that day. She immediately responded and promptly refunded us for the night AND refunded us for an ADDITIONAL night. I genuinely felt she understood the situation we were in with 3 little kids and took every step she could to rectify the situation and give us a positive outcome. She went above and beyond on this one. Once reaching the cabin the following day, it was everything I expected and more. I’m more familiar w/ cabins on VRBO that are stripped down rentals with nothing inside. No washer/dryer, fire pits or wood, or outdoor ‘toys’. This cabin is the exact opposite of that. It felt more like staying at a cabin of an immediate family member or close friend. They provided us access to everything they outfitted the cabin with for themselves. I cannot not express my gratitude enough for this feature and is the top reason why I will return as often as I can. Thanks for the great week Caitlyn! Pros - Empathetic and responsive host - Clean and great ‘cabin’ feel. AWESOME deck and views. - Well stocked house (tubes, kayaks, firewood, grills, washer/dryer) - Creek and river access - Safe and clean neighborhood community - Fiber with WIFI

Beautiful house and peaceful area

Stayed this weekend my kids and their friends. This cabin is so nice, the location is perfect. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Peaceful stay in a cabin on the river. Most relaxing stay if you are looking for peace and quiet. Cabin is very nice and well laid out with lots of room
