We had a wonderful time at the Zen Cabin. The cabin itself was beautiful and the grounds were awesome. This is a great place to stay and highly recommended if you need a place away from the sounds and bustle of everyday life.

The cabin itself was nice and the host was very responsive and helpful whenever we reached out. However, the bug situation was a major issue during our stay. While we expected some insects since it’s a cabin in nature, the number of ladybugs and wasps inside the cabin was excessive—almost like an infestation. There were bugs and wasps throughout the space during our stay, which made it difficult to relax and enjoy the cabin fully. Future guests should be aware of this if large amounts of bugs is something that may bother you.

Outstanding experience! David’s Zen River retreat was a real treat. Accommodations were spacious and comfortable. The setting is the big seller! So beautiful and private. This was a rock hound’s paradise! Wonderful for our furry friend as well.
