Izas (Davie, FL)
We had a great time in this cabin. The location is awesome and we were able to spend the best and whitest Chrismas and ever!
Chelsea Lanclos (Lafayette, LA)
We loved the location and how homey the cabin was upon arrival. The view from the back porch was so nice and we were glad to be able to walk down to the river with the pups. The front porch was so nice to sit and drink coffee in the morning. We were lucky enough to have a new loveseat delivered during our stay which was very comfortable. We also loved how easy check in was. It’s always nice not to have to worry about keeping track of another key.
Kandice Dixon (Pace, FL)
The cabin was more than we expected! It has absolutely everything you need to make you and your family feel right at home. The location is nice as well, very peaceful. We will definitely book our stay there again!!
William Bates (Petersburg, VA)
We book this cabin for my wife's birthday. Upon arrival to our cabin we were greeted by a black bear, which was very awesome. The cabin was great just enough room for us. My wife fell in love with the very spacious screened porch where she spent a lot of time when we weren't out sight seeing. We made good use of the fireplace in the cabin also. Our experience there was phenomenal. We do plan to vacation here with Smoky Cabins again and maybe even bring the family. We plan to tell all of our friends and family about our experience.
Tanna Deal (Hudson, NC)

James Marteney (Lake city, FL)

McDonnell (Wilmington, NC)
River Dreaming was a perfect cabin for our getaway! We loved the location and it was very comfortable for our family. Extremely clean!
Taylor (Niceville , FL)
Great little cabin, had everything we needed.
Nice front porch, great location, peaceful. Beds where very comfortable.
The Eaddy’s (Lake City, SC)
We enjoyed our stay at River Dreaming. The cabin was easy to find with the directions we were sent. The bed we chose was very comfortable and the cabin’s amenities were adequate for our needs. The large, screened-in porch was a nice escape from the bugs and offered chances to see rabbits scampering in the pasture like front area. We hope to come back one day.
