A great stay --couple days of relaxation and fishing
Scott and Alexa have done an amazing job with this property--and were very gentle and welcoming hosts---a great place for couples or some friends to gather to relax. Being on the Kinni, we fished and enjoyed the multitude of waterfowl visits, the farm animals and the very relaxed atmosphere of the property. They have thought of all details for the accommodations--including in- floor heat in the bathrooms--wow-- and very comfortable beds and furnishings. Bonus of an outdoor sauna (we didn't get time to enjoy this time but looks awesome , with a cold plunge into the river available within 3 steps!). Thanks for a great stay--highly recommend!

Beautiful, Peaceful Getaway
I enjoyed my stay here so much. The cottage is cozy with a touch of luxury, perfect in its intentional simplicity. You can tell that a lot of care has gone in to everything here.
It was a pleasure to sit by the stream, check out the sauna, say hello to the farm animals and meet the kind hosts. Everything just felt peaceful and fresh.
We were quite fortunate to have some farm fresh eggs to cook up for breakfast—delish! And the provided coffee was quite good. We didn’t want to leave and will undoubtedly be back again.

Guys get away
This was an amazing time. We got a few guys together and hung out by the fire pits and just relaxed. It was a perfect setting for the things we needed and were looking for. The extras in the constructions were wonderful. The timer heated floors were a very pleasant surprise.
