Pet-friendly cosy cabins with fantastic view from the garden, the woofer enjoyed the garden as well - lots of grass to play on.Welcoming host, Ron, who was happy to help with our stay in the area.
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.
We had a really lovely time at the cabin, it was clean and very comfy and well equipped. The views down the valley were beautiful and the hosts were so attentive! They gave us great suggestions of things to do, and were always available if we needed anything. Would definitely come back!

Thanks Ron & Sarah
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.
