Quiet Rural Property

Stayed for two nights with 2 adult children. House was clean and comfortable. Cellular reception in the area seems to vary from hilltop to hilltop, so plan accordingly.

Tranquil Stay

Very accurate listing description. Enjoyed the quiet property and our kids loved seeing the wildlife (deer, porcupine, garter snake and many birds). Very easy to follow rules. Didn’t mind the lack of TV and Wi-Fi. Watching DVDs on the projector was a hit for the kids. We’d book again.

Outdoor getaway

Great place for an unconnected vacation. Took my boys and grandsons hunting and fishing. The owners were very easy to connect with. Mostly sat outside by the campfire after hunting and fishing all day. Very secluded and peaceful. Beds are very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen. Will definitely go back.

Beautiful area!

It was a perfect place to come back to after the family event's. Nice and quiet and all the amenities anyone could ever need. Would definitely stay again. Im new to the house renting thing but was only disappointed in the non refundable damage fee. Had to drop 1500 if you wanted it refunded which seems a little over kill in my opinion.

We came for my son's graduation weekend from U of I. Although it was a bit of a ways out, it was a perfect oasis to relax. My grand daughter's were delighted to find a Hello Kitty bedspread on their bunk bed!! We loved it here and will most definitely be back!! Beds were so comfy!! Thank you for this peaceful place!! What fun watching the projector movies and bon fire under the star filled sky. Just what we needed!! Made mother's day one to remember!! Hosts were excellent with response time on any questions.

Rural Palouse Bliss

We came to my alma mater, University of Idaho, for a tour for my daughter, a senior in high school, and to watch the Vandals beat Montana State! I loved my 7 years living in the Palouse and miss the place very much. Parents weekend had made in-town accommodations too expensive, and this retreat was priced just right, albeit a bit of a drive. The location, however, is dynamite. The accommodations are rustic and a bit spartan, but clean. I went for a hike on the property in the mornings and the scenery and landscape is incredible. All-in-all, we loved it. We also beat the breakfast crowd in Moscow by having a wonderful breakfast in Potlatch on our way into the game.

Absolutely wonderful vacation getaway!!

This place is absolutely beautiful! It’s cozy, it’s homey and it’s everything I expected it to be and so much more! The beds were amazing, I slept like a baby every single night. Everything you would need for cooking and cleaning and everything in between. I was a little surprised that a friend had service up there, even in the house. If you’re looking for an amazing “glamping” vacation, THIS IS IT! We will be back! Spectacular!!!
