Sidell Cabin 2024 We had a wonderful time at Indian River. The Cabin was clean and spacious for our group. Full bathrooms on every floor was a bonus. The back yard was a great place to hangout at the end of a long day. Very peaceful but close to many parks, day trip activities and beaches. Would recommend to friends and family! Vrbo host was amazing to work with.

A Lovely Cabin The cabin was so clean and stocked with all the kitchen and bathroom supplies we needed. The sauna was also amazing and a welcome warm up after a day on the slopes at Nub's Nob. The kids/teens had fun in the game room/basement. There were plenty of comfortable beds and pillows too. We couldn't find trails from the property along the river but it was so calming to sit and watch the water in the morning. It was so quiet and peaceful!
