Our stay was for our son's graduation from WSU. It was about a 50 minute drive, but well worth it. We had lots of room and a beautiful setting. If our daughter goes to WSU, we will definitely come again.

This is a very clean and an absolutely beautiful property. I am so glad we were able to stay here. The sky was clear and we were able to witness 4 falling stars during the recent meteor shower. Thank you!

The area was nice - about 45 minute drive to Moscow. The house was clean and rustic. We loved the property and the fire pit. Was nice to get away in the country. Just be aware that there is no WiFi 😊

Tranquil Stay

Very accurate listing description. Enjoyed the quiet property and our kids loved seeing the wildlife (deer, porcupine, garter snake and many birds). Very easy to follow rules. Didn’t mind the lack of TV and Wi-Fi. Watching DVDs on the projector was a hit for the kids. We’d book again.

Outdoor getaway

Great place for an unconnected vacation. Took my boys and grandsons hunting and fishing. The owners were very easy to connect with. Mostly sat outside by the campfire after hunting and fishing all day. Very secluded and peaceful. Beds are very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen. Will definitely go back.

Beautiful area!

It was a perfect place to come back to after the family event's. Nice and quiet and all the amenities anyone could ever need. Would definitely stay again. Im new to the house renting thing but was only disappointed in the non refundable damage fee. Had to drop 1500 if you wanted it refunded which seems a little over kill in my opinion.

Absolutely wonderful vacation getaway!!

This place is absolutely beautiful! It’s cozy, it’s homey and it’s everything I expected it to be and so much more! The beds were amazing, I slept like a baby every single night. Everything you would need for cooking and cleaning and everything in between. I was a little surprised that a friend had service up there, even in the house. If you’re looking for an amazing “glamping” vacation, THIS IS IT! We will be back! Spectacular!!!

We came for my son's graduation weekend from U of I. Although it was a bit of a ways out, it was a perfect oasis to relax. My grand daughter's were delighted to find a Hello Kitty bedspread on their bunk bed!! We loved it here and will most definitely be back!! Beds were so comfy!! Thank you for this peaceful place!! What fun watching the projector movies and bon fire under the star filled sky. Just what we needed!! Made mother's day one to remember!! Hosts were excellent with response time on any questions.

On a whim

If you are looking for a remote, quiet, getaway look no further. The serene views together with the down home small town America feel will not disappoint. Beds were great, house was clean, communication with owners was awesome. Our stay was during the winter and 4 wheel drive was needed for the drive way due to a heavy snow storm but the driveway was plowed for us on the 2nd day. A good point to note is the closest grocery store closes at 8 pm. Cell service was good but we were unplugged from internet and TV which added to our much needed quiet stay. Would recommend and will stay again.
