About this cottage rental
The story of Yun-Shui Garden - where clouds drift and water flows.” In the early morning, you can hear the spring water before you see it. It feeds the ponds, wildlife, and gardens, and gives the property its quiet, peaceful character.
Before it became Yun-Shui Garden, this land was a trout farm. For more than forty years, Steve and Margaret Titus cared for the property, raising fish and adding the buildings and structures that still give the place its unique character.
Many of the buildings came from different places and times. Some were moved here and reused, including a former post office, a KOA office, and an old schoolhouse barn. The property grew slowly, one story at a time.
In 2021, we became the caretakers of this special place. Our hope is to continue restoring the land, creating gardens and wildlife habitat, and preserving the calm beauty of the ponds, water, and mountains.
Thank you for being part of the story of Yun-Shui Garden. We hope you enjoy your stay, slow down, and take in the water, birds, and changing seasons. Welcome to Explore Nature
Feel free to explore the ponds, creek, and streams around the property. Follow the 🦃 turkey / 🦆 duck signs to find your way.
