The cozy cottage was a wonderful little place. I stayed for business and found it was a peaceful place to wind down from a very long day at work. The surroundings were beautiful and I saw a herd of elk driving into town one evening. Verla was an amazing host. I absolutely loved the fresh eggs!

What a fun and awesome place to stay! All of our needs were met. We did not have to go to the store to buy anything. The hosts even left us wine and chocolate! The house was clean. The beds were quite comfortable. Kitchen was well supplied. Neighborhood was secluded and had nice views out the front. Hot tub was incredible! Really enjoyed our stay! Was exactly what we were looking for for this stay.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I were married for over 55 years. He recently passed away and my grandson is with me. We bought and remodeled these homes. We are the proud parents of 2 children and now have added their spouses to our family. Our son and his wife have 2 boys, our daughter and her spouse have 2 girls. We were blessed to find our home in this quiet community. We loved the quiet and solitude here. We were able to build and remodel 5 homes one for us and 4 we are able to share with others. This work was done by my husband and myself. I live down the street from the rentals so I am close by for any needs.

Why they chose this property

It is quiet secluded and relaxing. You are still close to town so can quickly go out for shopping,movies and out for the evening. The area offers hiking and there is frequent festivities in the nearby towns. A local horse stable offers horse back riding. Cute boutiques,antique malls, thrift stores. The stars at night are very breathtaking.
