Intimate Homestead

A cute cabin right off the highway that had plenty of room for our family. We loved our stay and felt at home. There is only one bathroom with a shower so plan accordingly with multiple people. We’ll stay here again!

The structure of this place is definitely a cabin, but its location is definitely not cabin. It is only a block from the highway and there are other houses on the street. There were trucks and tractors up and down the street all day. The entry to the staircase to the upstairs is low. I only whacked my head on it twice before I learned to duck when using the stairs. All of the bedrooms are upstairs and the two bathrooms are downstairs. So if you have to use the restroom in the middle of the night you have to go down the stairs and remember to duck so you don't whack your head. The two lamps in the living room both had burnt out bulbs. I was able to find some extras in the cabinets and replace them both. The selection of knives in the kitchen to cook with is laughable. A decent set of knives could go a long way here. Also, staying here either requires the purchase of an insurance plan or a 3000 deposit. 3000? Is that a typo? I personally would not stay here again, but if you are looking for a quaint place to stay off of the highway, that is what this is.

Fantastic stay

This place is clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family. We enjoyed the 4 rooms, and the living space where we could relax and play games together. It’s well maintained and the cabin is quite impressive. It’s a beautiful little spot easily accessible off the highway, but far enough for some peace and quiet. The whole yard and area around was beautiful with the lilac hedge and giant trees. We will definitely make this place a yearly tradition. Thanks

This little country house is exactly as described, except that new window blinds have been added throughout, which was a nice unexpected bonus after planning the trip just from the photos. It is spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. For people with even mild mobility or balance issues this is perhaps not the right fit place, as all four bedrooms are upstairs and both bathrooms are downstairs. Also a walker or rolling oxygen tank would not do well across the thick grass, which would be necessary to reach the few steps. I was glad that for the first time in many years my grandmother wasn't traveling with me, though I'm sure I'd have figured things out ahead of time because the owner, Gordon, was a very thoughtful and kind communicator. There is an extremely bright exterior light above the porch closest to the driveway, so I did not sleep in the room that I thought was the nicest, in order to avoid the exterior light at night, but it did work very nicely as a nightlight in the kitchen by just leaving the blinds a bit open in the kitchen at night. My cell service carrier is AT&T and I had full bars nearly all the time, enough to use a hotspot, probably, if I'd wanted to. I enjoyed the serene quiet, a book, and a puzzle. I had a wonderful stay, and I would definitely stay here again. It is a very cozy, very clean, and very quiet little place. I loved it!

Peaceful

I wish we could have stayed a little longer to utilize the firepit and outdoor area. It was nice to unplug for a bit with that back to basics home feel. No wifi, but excellent phone reception. A lot of history and character in the house. A few of our family members had a rough sleep in a few of the beds, but with recliners available it was great! Host had great communication and helped us when a few in our party had some struggles with the lock. Great host! Peaceful location

Perfect Cabin for Family Fun

The cabin was very clean and comfortable for our family which included 6 adults. The four bedrooms allowed us space you spread out. Opening the windows and turning on the fans kept everyone cool and comfortable. Having a bath and a half was very convenient. We made our meals in the kitchen or on the grill outside. (Dave’s Jubilee Market in Ashton had everything we needed.). We enjoyed making s’mores in the fire pit. One of our daughters entertained us by playing the piano. Some enjoyed playing cards at kitchen table and everyone loved gazing at the stars in the night sky. We visited Mesa Falls, Yellowstone National Park, and the Grand Tetons. The drive was not far and we looked forward to going back to the cabin each day. Communication with the manager was easy and he quickly responded to my mesaages. We very much enjoyed reading the book about the history of this house and meeting two of the family members was an unexpected highlight of stay at the cabin. Although we live over 25 hours away our family is hoping to return to this cabin in a couple of years. We spent quality family time relaxing and enjoying each other’s company. I highly recommend you stay at the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Howard

Host profile image
Our family was raised in this cabin and we are exited to share the cabin with others so they can experience the beautiful scenery and peaceful setting we enjoyed growing up there. Our dad and his family built the cabin themselves on the family farm that has been in the family for over 100 years.

Why they chose this property

The cabin sits in a quite, rural area with plenty of space between the cabin and the neighbors. From the cabin you have a beautiful view of the mountains, ranches and farms that are in the area. The Chester and Fall River Canal run through the property and often you will spot wildlife on the around the cabin.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is part of the family farm that has been in the family for 3 generations. The cabin was built by the Howard family and they were the only family to live in the cabin.
