About the host

Hosted by Trish Bartley

Host profile image
My name is Trish “Grinder” Bartley. Yep you guessed it, Grinders Ferry right down the road from here and connected by way of the National Park to this majestic property. Raised around here and then married a Bartley boy from Conway AR. I’m a mom of two boys and after lots of traveling and living in Breckenridge CO the past five years and being on lockdown for 16 months from COVID, it was time to get my family back to being around family and back to my roots. Thanks for looking and reach out to me if you want me to provide an “all in” deal or let me know what you want to accomplish for some fun and let’s see if we can make it happen for ya!

Why they chose this property

This home is an original 1800’s cabin relocated here. It’s a “family and friends” home to make memories from hiking, floating, riding horses, looking at the deer and bear on the back deck, playing horseshoes, cooking and relaxing. It’s big enough to fit multiple families and friends instead of being in different places and cabins so no “fomo” ha. Let’s bring back reunions and family and friend gathering after a separating 2020!

What makes this property unique

The view and privacy is what is unmatchable. Courseys is right out the drive. Crawbilly’s and Ferguson’s across the highway. Gilbert, Grinders Ferry and Tyler Bend right down the road. When you stay here you have no one one else in your space unless you go out to the road!
