Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Gary Von Ruden
Our family cabin, Ember Hills Lodge, was completed in January 2022. It was a collaboration between Gary and Cathy, their four children and their families. It is located on part of our family farm that has been in the Von Ruden family since 1865. Gary's grandparents lost the farm to the bank for about a month during the Great Depression. They were able to get the farm back with financial help from a neighbor. Gary and family are now third generation farmers and currently raise Angus beef and grow corn and alfalfa. Gary's Dad had two Belgian horses, where this cabin now sits. We hope you enjoy the cabin as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We built Ember Hills Lodge as a place for our growing family to gather and make memories to pass through the generations.
What makes this property unique
Ember Hills Lodge is our newly built family log cabin. It features vaulted ceilings, all new furnishings and modern amenities, including a gas fireplace and heated floors in the lower level. Located on a rolling hill in a beautiful valley, enjoy a walk on our trail and taking in breathtaking sunsets and wide open sky for stargazing.
