The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The host was fantastic and communication was good. My favorite part was the elk were in the field right across from the house. I would definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay. Sitting on the porch in the evening, going down to the river, all great. We had a thunderstorm on Saturday, and watching the mist coming up from the river and obscuring the mountains was awesome.

This is a great place to stay if you want somewhere to just lay your head at night and hike / explore during the day. It’s right in the middle of Boxley Valley where we saw Elk in many of the fields. Her place was super clean but without any frills. Internet worked well. Unless I missed it, there wasn’t a washer or dryer on the property so plan for that. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!

The location of property was great. Elk viewing right off the porch. I gave it a low rating for the cleanliness of the windows very dirty and bugs in the sills. Wanted to open them to hear the elk but holes were in the screens and more bugs came in Front screen door broken. Needs some TLC also no blow dryer as described in the listing. More like a camping cabin.Best describes it. Not a fan. Would not stay here again

Lovely stay

Very clean, comfy beds, all the things you need, great location - close to lots of hiking and floating. Very basic accommodations but we didn’t need anything more than that. Would stay again!

What a wonderful place! We stayed two nights. We did a day trip on the Buffalo so it was perfectly situated close to BOC and the put in and take out. The next morning we hiked Lost Valley, which was also close. Pretty cool to be able to stay in such a nice place within the national park. I booked it with my 80 year old mother in mind and wanted something easily accessible for her. She didn't end up coming but we plan to be back with her in the future. Comfortable beds, too.
