What guests think
At Cozy Retreat on the Obey River near Dale Hollow Lake, guests praise the peaceful riverfront setting, easy access for fishing and kayaking, proximity to town, and a clean, cozy cabin well suited to relaxed getaways.
Many highlight responsive, helpful communication and smooth check-in. Outdoor perks like a back-porch swing, fire pit, and a fish-cleaning station are appreciated for evenings by the water. Repeated minor drawbacks include a firm master mattress for some, occasional musty or dusty spots, small maintenance hiccups, and awareness of a neighboring campground. Expect a simple, quiet riverside base ideal for fishing-focused, low-key stays.

Great views of the Obey River. Enjoyed multiple campfires and chillin on the deck. We struggled with fishing when water went low.

A cute no frills cabin. Basics are provided such as toilet paper, paper towels and kitchen utensils. The back porch has a swinging porch over looking the river. A fire pit is great for relaxing evenings by the river and smores. Overall a good experience for a short term stay

Communication was Excellant. Check in without any problem. Place was just as described. My husband and I and our old lab had a very relaxing weekend. Caught some great rainbow trout and the outdoor cleaning station came in very handy. Ate at a couple local restaurants but really liked the burgers and steak at Ricky Bobby’s. Would recommend guests bring outdoor chairs if you want to sit around the fire. The porch was great for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Would highly recommend for a relaxing time.

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. The access to the river was super convenient as we had brought kayaks and fishing poles to do some fishing on the Obey River. The outdoor fish cleaning station also proved to be very handy, as well as the hose and outdoor furniture for sitting around the fire at night. It was close enough to town so that we could get groceries and anything else we needed, but we didn’t need much of anything because the cabin was well appointed with all the things that we needed for cooking and a comfortable stay. The hosts were very responsive via messaging whenever we had a question. We found a couple places that we absolutely loved in terms of dining out and getting to know the locals. We would highly recommend the Old Town Tavern for burgers and in Livingston, JD‘s Sandwich Shop. Best Reuben I have ever had and totally worth the 25 minute drive to get there. All around it was an excellent trip, and I hope that we can return again in the near future. Thank you so much for everything!

Our family reunion was at SSSP, but couldn’t get a cabin. This place is 15-17 mins drive to there. The place looks exactly as pictured. We enjoyed fishing right in the back. There is a RV park next door, but it is concealed well with vegetation and bamboo screens in the back, where you spend your time. There is not a washer/dryer or dishwasher. The cabin is CLEAN. I saw one rolly-polly. That’s it. No bugs, no mice…things you expect near the water. The river is cold and beautiful. Lots of trout. We had a campfire by the water and it was so cool and refreshing outside. The beds are comfortable and linens clean and soft. Everything you need for a rustic cabin. Furniture is clean and comfy. Small Dollar Store and grocery just blocks away. Didn’t see or hear another person the whole week. Respectful neighbors. Would recommend for a small family of four or a couple. Oh- don’t skip Dale Hollow Pizza! Hope to return again next Summer!

Found this place after finding out the marinas were all booked up for the duration of our trip. So glad I did. Cabin was amazing. It was clean and well stocked with just about everything you could possibly need. The veiw was beautiful. The river had high fishing potential but the dam was generating most of our stay so the currents were VERY strong. Great place to stay, would definitely return.

The cabin was clean organized and well stocked. Except for trash bags. Had a musky smell, maybe from moisture from the location. A bottle of febreze freshened it up. Fishing was great in the Obey river. Caught several trout bank fishing there. We will definitely go back. No problems with the kids or people in the campgrounds. I do wish the cleaning table had a fold down cover to keep it clean.

Almost everything was just as expected! The dirty ceiling fans were our issue. We felt if we turned them on it would cause the dust to go all over. We knew it was an easy fix and we could have cleaned them if we really needed to use them. This only slightly hindered our stay because everything else was great! was great!

The cold water shower knob came off in my husband’s hand. He fixed it but it was not as easy as just screwing it back in. Our friend had stayed there a few months before and said the same thing had happened and it was reported to the owner. I emailed the owner but never received a response. Also, the toilet paper supply was low so we went to the Dollar General and bought some. The cabin was cute overall but not ready for guests.

My husband, son, and I took a few days on school spring break to go relax and do some fishing. The place was perfect for that. It was quiet, right on the river, and only a few minutes from the Dale Hollow Dam and Lake so we went there for a few hours one day as well. Quiet for relaxing and close enough to town to go grab a DQ Blizzard since calories don't count on vacation, right!! The host, Jonathan, was so nice and very quick to respond. Thank you!!

Caught some great rainbow trout and the outdoor cleaning station came in very handy. Ate at a couple local restaurants but really liked the burgers and steak at Ricky Bobby’s. Would recommend guests bring outdoor chairs if you want to sit around the fire. The porch was great for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Would highly recommend for a relaxing time.

The outdoor fish cleaning station also proved to be very handy, as well as the hose and outdoor furniture for sitting around the fire at night. It was close enough to town so that we could get groceries and anything else we needed, but we didn’t need much of anything because the cabin was well appointed with all the things that we needed for cooking and a comfortable stay. The hosts were very responsive via messaging whenever we had a question. We found a couple places that we absolutely loved in terms of dining out and getting to know the locals. We would highly recommend the Old Town Tavern for burgers and in Livingston, JD‘s Sandwich Shop. Best Reuben I have ever had and totally worth the 25 minute drive to get there. All around it was an excellent trip, and I hope that we can return again in the near future. Thank you so much for everything!

Our family reunion was at SSSP, but couldn’t get a cabin. This place is 15-17 mins drive to there. The place looks exactly as pictured. We enjoyed fishing right in the back. There is a RV park next door, but it is concealed well with vegetation and bamboo screens in the back, where you spend your time. There is not a washer/dryer or dishwasher. The cabin is CLEAN. I saw one rolly-polly. That’s it. No bugs, no mice…things you expect near the water. The river is cold and beautiful. Lots of trout. We had a campfire by the water and it was so cool and refreshing outside. The beds are comfortable and linens clean and soft. Everything you need for a rustic cabin. Furniture is clean and comfy. Small Dollar Store and grocery just blocks away. Didn’t see or hear another person the whole week. Respectful neighbors. Would recommend for a small family of four or a couple. Oh- don’t skip Dale Hollow Pizza! Hope to return again next Summer!

The Cabin was perfect! So peaceful and what a treat to be right on the Obey River. Great location only a few minute drive to Celina and Dale Hollow Dam. We will definitely be staying here again!

My Husband & I traveled from San Diego to visit our Son & Daughter in law for Thanksgiving. This little cabin by the river was perfect! It had everything we needed! It was so quiet and cozy, close to restaurants and stores! I would highly recommend!

The River cabin was very cute and satisfied our needs. I wish it did have in the description that it is next to a camp ground. Some kid next door kept yelling “stranger danger” when my husband was out fishing. That was a down fall to the property location. However, it did provide a nice getaway for the weekend.

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. The access to the river was super convenient as we had brought kayaks and fishing poles to do some fishing on the Obey River. The outdoor fish cleaning station also proved to be very handy, as well as the hose and outdoor furniture for sitting around the fire at night. It was close enough to town so that we could get groceries and anything else we needed, but we didn’t need much of anything because the cabin was well appointed with all the things that we needed for cooking and a comfortable stay. The hosts were very responsive via messaging whenever we had a question. We found a couple places that we absolutely loved in terms of dining out and getting to know the locals. We would highly recommend the Old Town Tavern for burgers and in Livingston, JD‘s Sandwich Shop. Best Reuben I have ever had and totally worth the 25 minute drive to get there. All around it was an excellent trip, and I hope that we can return again in the near future. Thank you so much for everything!

Cottage was clean,well stocked and very comfortable. Back porch was perfect for peaceful downtime and for watching fog roll in on the river. Absolutely will be returning.
