Yes, we have hot water. I can't seem to find a place to add that. The log cabin is beautifully decorated and is set up with your comfort in mind. We provide everything you need for a perfect Elk River getaway. Cooking utensils, gas grill, linens, paper products and the "swanky pad". All you supply on your own is your food and drink. If you're interested in booking a float we work with an outfitter who picks you up before the float and returns you to your cabin afterwards. No driving for you!
