We loved our stay. The living space was cozy, inviting, warm, and had everything we could need for some time to relax and just be. The garden and the trails were a different kind of beauty to appreciate. We were welcomed by friendly hosts and greatly valued their recommendations of places to eat and explore. We would return in a heartbeat.

Great location, very nice accomodations

This is a great location for those looking to fish the Rush River and enjoy a beautiful setting. Check-in process was very simple. The hosts are friendly and accommodating. The only issue was that the listing indicated "sleeps six." However, there was one queen bed and one pull out queen. I spoke with the owner about this and he said it was a mistake in the listing.That's the only reason I didn't give full five stars for 'accuracy of online listing.' The bunkhouse is available for an additional fee, and that accommodated a number of folks in the group. This is wonderful place and I encourage everyone to book it if you're in the region!
