Words cannot begin to express the impression this place and these people have left on our hearts! Tim and Melisa were such gracious and warm hosts. Their passion for what they do was tangible the moment we stepped foot on the property. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Tim, with his welcoming smile. He made us feel right at home as he gave us a tour of the place. He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and knew where to find everything that we would need.
Hospitality was top notch! From a basket of farm fresh eggs and some stocked food items in the pantry/fridge, to the cleanliness and high quality beds, linens, furniture, pellet stove, outdoor fireplace, bench swing, etc. this place felt more like staying in a dream rather than your standard rental property.
I haven't even mentioned the location yet. What a location! The calming sounds of the river can be heard the second you step foot on the porch or open a window for some fresh mountain air. We witnessed multiple elk enjoying the water, as well as many squirrels, various birds, etc. enjoying the property. We were able to meet all of the animals on site, as well, and enjoyed watching the miniature horses show off their skills.
Even though the location is beyond amazing, the house is warm, relaxing, and inviting, and the wildlife/animals are a great bonus, the thing that left the greatest impression was Tim and Melisa's warm hospitality. They will give you as much space as you want, yet they will serve you and go above and beyond to meet your needs while you escape from everyday life. They are also more than happy to engage in conversation, if people are your thing. They both have a great sense of humor and are very down-to-earth people. We cannot wait to return to this peaceful, soul-filling, mountain getaway soon!
Thank you so much, Tim and Melisa, for all you gave! We appreciate you more than you know!
