If you’re looking for a little getaway with your family this place won’t disappoint. It’s not camping, it’s not glamping it’s somewhere in between and absolutely lovely. I felt like I was in a summer camp at the lake and camping at night in the comfort of a cabin and a bathroom. This space is thoughtfully designed and even though it’s small, it’s all well laid out. It was very clean and had just what we needed for our family of 3 (with an infant). Johnson’s beach is so cute and Guernville has great amenities- wine, massages, great food, etc.

The location is superb, close to the river, safe swimming, close to the main street with places to eat. The cabin itself is a mobile home in wood and in good condition, king size bed but only 1 side open, you need to climb over your partner to go to the bathroom at night . The shower lacked pressure on day 1 and was ok on day 2. Over all small and expensive but wonderfully located!

Pros - right on Johnson's Beach, walking distance to grocery store, shopping, and restaurants, room itself was very clean, shower water hot, bed very comfortable, manager kind. Cons - VERY loud (you won't get much sleep), property as a whole was pretty dirty, lots of homeless right around the general area (we didn't feel totally safe), curtains don't fully close and give privacy, check in was a bit of a sketchy process, in my opinion it was very expensive for what you received

Awesome little cabin with everything you need for two. Loved being able to stay with our dog. Really cool to pack light and cook for ourselves. We stayed off season so it was just us. Host was really sweet and checked in daily. Super short walk into town if you want to go to a bar, eat at a restaurant or grab coffee. Can imagine it being really fun to hang on the river when it’s warm. Thanks again we needed a nice getaway.

Honestly staying in the little cabin was great. We read the reviews about it being spartan accommodations so we just prepared accordingly. We were able to cook some pretty good meals with the cookware we brought. Brought our own coffee making stuffs and we loved being there.

We stayed in a teeny-tiny cabin. Nice shower with nice products. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Nice bed! Two burner stovetop and mini fridge. Fire pit and picnic bench in front of each cabin. Just a few steps to Johnson’s Beach. Just a few blocks from Safeway and restaurants. La Bodeguita Mexican restaurant is a MUST. Property manager Chris is very kind and helpful.
