We arrived in the afternoon of July 4th, 2016 to a beautiful view - right out the back of the cabin! We sat out on the back porch every morning and evening watching the birds on the river. The cabin has plenty of outdoor furniture. Our family of 5, including 3 boys (ages 16, 13 & 10), enjoyed the large, well-maintained property and the many amenities the cabin offered. We spent the days fishing, picnicking, off-roading, hiking and canoeing around IP, then returned every evening to fish right off our private dock. We BBQ'd and roasted hot dogs/smores in the fire-pit. The boys played foosball, board games and watched 4 seasons of "Top Gear" on Netflex after sundowns. Although the cabin has plenty of puzzles, we brought our own and worked it one cozy, rainy day. Unfortunately, we dropped a few pieces through the deck and were unable to retrieve them. There is a large library of DVDs and an Atari console. My husband and I were happy to hear the boys were unable to connect it properly, as we hoped to leave video games back in California.
The cabin was extremely clean and stocked with everything one could possible need. The interior is warm, cozy, and obviously well-loved by her owners. The description is accurate and I would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives. The cost is fair, if not lower than one would expect. I gave a 4 instead of a 5 star for a couple of things with regards to the river; both of which our out of the owners control. I've been coming to IP for over 45 years and understand its water is at the mercy of Mother Nature. The river was not at 100%. There is about 15 feet of exposed rocky shoreline we had to venture over to get to the dock. Minor, but the reason I mention it is because of the pic of the little boy fishing on the dock is not reflective of the water level we experienced July 4 - 11, 2016. Also, the watercraft was loud and took away from the beauty and pristine. They created large wakes that splashed over the dock. We didn't see any wildlife, other than birds, and I'm convinced it's because of the boats. For boat owners, the ramp is a convenient couple doors down.
I could not end this review without mentioning the property manager, Shawna. She is fabulous! She is extremely quick to reply and went over and beyond what was asked of her. I had a question before we arrived and did not expect an answer for days. Not only did she get right back with me, but she snapped a photo along with her reply.
