Beautiful little cottage, lots to do on the property- our boys loved the mini golf and splashing in the river. It was very rugged terrain, but well maintained and the hot tub was the perfect way to end the day!
It was quiet, relaxing and fun. The property is gorgeous, the treasure hunt was great fun as well as the putt putt golf. Star gazing from the hot tub was awesome. Walking the river and enjoying the beach there was tranquil. Everyone in the community was very nice and friendly with plenty of things to do and see.

Thank you Jacob, so glad you had a great time! You are welcome back anytime!
My family and I had a good time. A beautiful property with fun for the kids. A good property to walk around and stretch the legs. The hot tub under the stars is the highlight! A little close to the main house for privacy, but a very nice and inviting host.
It was an amazing time! The peace and quite is unmatchable. The beauty of this place is breathtaking. We definitely enjoyed our time while staying at the cozy cottage. The locals are so kind and dont forget to stop by Not dougs southern kitchen. The breakfast is scrumptious and the strawberry shakes are the best we've ever had!

Thank you so much! We are so thrilled you had a good time! See you next time for sure!
Beautiful property
Loved the treasure hunt hike and the treasure at the end!
Such a great wilderness getaway from home
Would come back in a heart beat and recommend to all our friends
The hot tub was an absolute plus! The stars at night while in the hot tub is just so peaceful.
Thank you for the great stay for our birthday weekend!
This was a truly amazing property. The treasure hunt was a blast and a great way to get to know the land! It’s quite a massive property and offers so much space for exploration. The hosts are very kind and welcoming. You also need to check out the nearby restaurant “not Doug’s” - the food is delicious and the owners are so lovely. There is so much to do on the property, so you’ll never be board even though it’s far from any large towns!
It was smaller than I expected. I didn’t realize that the main house was just across the yard. The miniature golf course was fun. There was a nice variety of games in the house. The grounds were beautiful and the treasure hunt sounded fun. We didn’t use the hot tub because it was in clear view of the main house and we prefer privacy.

So sorry you were disappointed. The description and pictures in the listing clearly state the distance from the main house and the size of the cottage. There are small bushes and trees between the main house and the view of the hot tub. We make every effort to maintain guests privacy, as evidenced by the fact that we didn’t even see you the whole time you were here. We have over 300 5 star reviews with the other rental platform, people love this little slice of heaven.

About the host
Hosted by Rick & Valerie Braman
We have 4 adult children and 8 grandchildren. We love to camp, hike, snow shoe and fish. We love taking care of our 45 acres and the gorgeous river on the property. We enjoy reading in the winter while drinking mocha's in front of the cozy fire. We rely on peace, quiet and serenity to stay grounded. Life is too short not to live everyday like it's your last.
Why they chose this property
This property is very unique in that it has privacy, seclusion and peace. With loads of things to do like mini golf, treasure hunt, fish, geo cache, hiking, snowshoeing, you would never need to leave the property. If relaxing under the stars in the hot tub or reading a book by the river are your thing, we've got that too! With many, many pristine mountain lakes and streams in the area, this is a great base to fish, hunt, hike and explore. Nearby ghost towns, wineries, ski hills and museum are great way to explore the area even more!
What makes this property unique
The most relaxing and fun property all in one! So quiet your ears ring!
