We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is gorgeous and cottage is super comfortable. Really enjoyed the peace and quite and the company of farm animals and pets. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend!
We can’t express how thankful we are to Rori and Jim! They allowed us to have our wedding, it was a dream! We want to come back and spend time our anniversary here!
We had an absolutely lovely stay with Jim and Rori. We were told August is a less enjoyable time to visit due to the smoke and heat, but we were still amazed by the views and how accommodating they both were. Jim was incredibly knowledgable about woodworking, Rori about farmland and animals, and both of them about the area and all sorts of other things. Their cabin was clean and stocked, and their friendly dogs were the cherry on top. We had a fantastic time and couldn't recommend it enough!
We desire peace and quiet when we vacation and it doesn’t get any better than here. The host are just great. We cannot say enough about how wonderful Pleasant Valley Inn is!
Great hosts, wonderful house and setting! Even had our own trail guide for our walks, thank you Graham! It is so peaceful and comfortable, will be staying again! It is secluded in the surrounding mountains!
A beautiful property in a beautiful part of the state! So relaxing and peaceful. Wonderful hosts and a clean, comfortable guest house with everything we needed to feel right at home. We feel blessed to have discovered this gem and hope to be able to come again!
Beautiful setting and so peaceful and quiet. The cottage had all the amenities and we enjoyed the warmth of the wood stove. A nice time visiting with Jim, Rori and their dogs, Spencer and Graham. We will definitely be back to visit. Thanks again!
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this property. The property was clean and very well-kept. The descriptions are understated - the views, scenery, and wildlife were incredible. The hosts (Jim and Rory) were very communicative, welcoming, kind and hospitable. We found ourselves hanging out with the hosts and never wanting to leave the property! Our best VRBO experience to date.

Thanks for the kind words, Brett.
These guys were great guests - communicative, tidy and lots of fun to talk with.
They're welcome back anytime they find themselves in Rice. :)
What an absolute blessing this place was! The owners, Jim and Rori, are extremely nice people and very gracious hosts. We loved the remote and very peaceful location. The BNB was clean, organized and very well maintained. You can tell a lot of care and thought went into the building of their place. We definitely plan on going back. I highly recommend this BNB.

Thank you for the lovely review! We're tickled you enjoyed your stay.
You left the place so tidy and we appreciate it.
I hope to see you up this way again.
We would 100% stay again with Jim and Rori. Their property is idyllic, relaxing and peaceful. My toddlers enjoyed getting to know all of the super friendly animals. The farm fresh eggs were icing on the cake ;)
My family and I loved this remote getaway on a beautiful ranch in the mountains. Our hosts Jim and Rori were exceedingly kind and friendly. The house was spotless, kitchen stocked, beds were comfortable. Being around the goats, sheep, chickens and dogs was fun for my daughter especially. Hiking trails with marvelous views.
The property is by far the nicest one my wife and I have stayed at - and we’ve stayed at many. The property has beautiful furniture, the owners are excellent hosts, the views and outdoor seating are amazing, and the animals are fun. We plan on returning next year.

Terrific!
Can't think of a nicer place to rest up. The hosts are gracious, the surroundings are beautiful and private. The accommodations are immaculate. My 11 year old son loved helping with the animals and did not want to leave. Thanks so much Rory and Jim! Regards, Ed and Eddie

Ed & Eddie: Thanks for the great review. We loved having you guys -- Please stop by again and see us, even if just passing through.

What can I say - the backdrop to Jim and Rori’s ranch is wonderful - bucolic yet wild. Peaceful. Quiet. At times breathtaking. Our boys were delighted to spend time w the goats and dogs. Jim and Rory are gracious and responsive hosts.
Wonderful restorative stay in a beautiful environment
Waxing lyrical a bit here, but this was the best vacation rental experience ever. The accomodations were impeccable, artistic, and well appointed, the hosts were gracious and close enough if you needed them and distant enough if you didn't, and the quiet, big sky, autumn foliage, and general ambience were much needed. Our "tour guide" Graham, the friendly dog who became our companion, was delightful as we roamed the grounds. You won't find anything better than this if you are looking for a healthy retreat. And we had a ton of fun, too. Did I mention sweet farm animals?
This was, by far, me and my wife’s favorite place we have stayed in Washington. The house and surrounding area are absolutely beautiful, the property owners are some of the nicest and most accommodating hosts we have ever met, the animals were a joy to interact with, and it was very quiet and private. I have nothing but good things to say about our time spent here and we are already looking forward to coming back again in the future.
If you’re looking to get away and have some peace and quiet, this is most definitely an outstanding option.
Thank you Jim and Rori, you guys are awesome people!
We didn't actually stay around the property much, but that's because we were with friends that were local. The building was in great shape and nicely decorated. The grounds were pretty with the fall colors and then with the dusting of snow.
Normally we take our trailer when we visit this area but we were glad to book this VBRO this time due to the early snow. I would book it again.
I would recommend bringing slippers as the tile floor was cold even with my fuzzy soks.
This place is beautifully located with a view of the distant mountains, far off and orchards, sheep and goats nearby. Charming inside and out! Rori was communicative, gracious and treated us to sheep milk and banana bread! The home is furnished with beautiful hand-made tables and chairs built on site. It is a long way to anything, but the drive is lovely and off the beaten path. It is so nice to see this slice of American life! We are now back home to traffic!
We had a peaceful and relaxing 3 days on the farm, enjoyed the very pleasant, personable and accommodating hosts Jim and Rori. Graham (what a dog) was the ultimate companion host, he loves going for walks. Learned a little bit about goats and the sheep. We sat on the West porch and watched the beautiful sunsets, the cows and all the different color of leaves on the trees. Very impressed with Jim’s fine wood working which is evident throughout the house.
This property located in the Northeastern corner of Washington state is ultra-quiet, beautiful and serene. Jim and Rori are the best of hosts. Over the past forty years, we have stayed in many, many rural vacation rentals and can say that this wonderful guest house is exactly as represented and will delight you beyond expectations. Warmed by a fine wood stove, surrounded by original art including beautiful hardwood furniture built by Jim, a welcoming bottle of wine, farm-fresh eggs and apples brought to us by Rori, mowed trails throughout the hundreds of acres, and the sweet wonder dog, Graham. Well I could go on...On a scale of one to ten this place scored a solid 100.
The guest house is located off the main road a bit but well worth the drive! Surrounded by pastures with blue mountains in the distance, it was a quiet, peaceful retreat, the perfect place to relax after 3 days spent visiting family. Jim and Rory are welcoming hosts who introduced us to their 3 pups and goats and were happy to offer suggestions for the best hiking trails and area eateries. All in all, this was an excellent experience...we highly recommend!
My wife and wife and I were thrilled by this beautiful and quiet ranch guest house, and especially the beautiful custom-made furniture. The hosts could not have been more welcoming and gracious, making us feel very much at home. Our expectations were exceeded in every way. Highly recommended!
