10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
If you’re looking for a clean, quiet, VERY well stocked with amenities (indoor & outdoor) place to get a little R&R, this is the place to go! Extra towels, games, books, hide a bed soda, plenty of dishes, extra spices, full size fridge, firewood for fire ring or a smokeless fire pit if that’s your jam. Communication with owners was fantastic! The bathroom is quite snug but the toilet flushed & there is hot water! We also utilized the bunk house & appreciated the extra space that it provided. We will likely book again & if you do, you won’t regret it!

Hosts were amazing to work with and responded to any questions we had about the property or things to do in the area. The house is adorable and we enjoyed playing games and fishing in the downtime after spending our days at the High School Rodeo. Hoping we can stay again next time we are in town!!
