Overnight stay on the way to Snowys walk

Only stayed 1 night on the way to hike the high country. Perfect for what we needed. Would have loved to stay longer as there is plenty to do in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Vise

Host profile image
We moved to the Upper Murray area in 1980 and built our log home first. We built our first cottage in 1985 and our second cottage in 1995.

Why they chose this property

We love this area. It was such a wonderful area to discover. Each time we drove into it we felt the peace and tranquility. We still do!!

What makes this property unique

The Upper Murray and our property offer a "real" country experience. This is not a developed tourist destination, so you get the fun of experiencing a quiet untouched rural area. The views are amazing. Our cottages are uniquely constructed, ,cozy and personalized. Our quests just love the peace.
