A slice of heaven

Such a peaceful and beautiful place to sink into for a few days. Our hosts Brenda and Butch could not have been more warm and welcoming.

Absolutely perfect!

Thank you Brenda and Butch for a wonderful stay! The Fishing Cabin and the surrounding property was such a unique experience. I couldn’t recommend the stay more. It’s the perfect place to escape and unwind. Highlights include waking up to the sunrise with the view and sounds of the river and exploring miles of trials around the property. The land pulls you further in as you explore. Around each bend and peak there’s a new view. My dog and I had a great time! Looking forward to visiting again for sure!

Gorgeous Private Sanctuary

This property is truly special. The cabin is located above the river and is surrounded by beautiful hills and nature. It’s rare to find a place that’s so comfortable and convenient nestled in surroundings that feel remote, private, and natural. I loved watching the sun rise over the hills and listening to the rushing river water all from the comfort of the bed while I sipped my coffee. The cabin has all the conveniences you could want and each feature at the property is nicely outfitted. For example, there is a shade, lawn chairs and a raft float down at the swimming hole near the river. Every detail is covered! I spent hours hiking the property and didn’t even come close to covering the whole area. And the entire time, I didn’t see a single other person. The quiet and calm was perfect. But beyond the lovely setting, it’s so important to note the quality of the hosts themselves. Brenda and Butch are such treasures. They obviously have poured so much love into their property and are great stewards of the land. They are a pleasure to speak to and are very responsive. You will be in very good hands if you stay at their property. Oh and check out their other listing for a larger cabin they just completed. I had the opportunity to walk through it and it’s wonderful. It’s made from timber from their ranch and it’s breathtaking. The views are incredible, and the details inside are absolutely lovely. It could be from a page of Southern Living magazine.

Peaceful and Perfect

This is the first time ever for us to be completely “off grid”. No cell phone. No TV. No internet. No expectations or interruptions. It was amazing. A time to just be. The view from the deck was breathtaking, each of our four days. It never got old. Butch and Brenda met us the first day at their beautiful log home…big smiles and fresh eggs. Bingo, the dog, was equally friendly. They led us in to our fishing cabin retreat, four miles from the house. Glad we had our Jeep…it was a fun dirt road. Butch pointed out the road to the swimming hole, and another to the larger cabin. But after a brief review of the amenities…that is the last we saw them until we joined up at the bigger cabin for cola and conversation (grandson Cayden joined us). We were made to feel like family…but so appreciated our private time, too. Everything about this little cabin felt welcoming. Grandpa’s creel hanging on a bedpost, Brenda’s mother’s painting on the wall, the old iron stove and oven, and heating stove. Rocking chairs were comfy and a double bed and cozy comforter made it that much more intimate. Thankful for the powerful binoculars!! Watched the heron fishing the Eel River, spied a water snake and a turtle, saw deer on the hillside and although we didn’t see bear, we saw scat. They likely saw us. The swimming hole was wonderful, and so thankful for the awning, easy chairs and tubes provided for us. Without question, we will return. Great memories.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda

My husband and I love and appreciate this absolutely gorgeous ranch. We have worked very hard over the last 22 years to make it what it is. We do habitat work for the wildlife and we are very happy to share it with others that appreciate the same.
Along with our grandson, we raise cattle and pigs, chickens, and goats!
We are in the process of building another cabin on the river that will be larger, for a family. Hopefully, it will be ready by next summer! We will offer transportation for drifting between the 2 cabins. (Extra Fee)
