About the host
Hosted by Ashleigh
I purchased this Lodge13 years ago because I visited it and fell in love with the properties.... they are truly unique and magical ! I am an avid fly-fisher and love kayaking..... both are perfect for both!
Additionally, I purchased the Cottage, directly next door to the Lodge, for the same reasons. Stunningly beautiful shelf of the river. Rent both properties and you can float or kayak from one property to the other.
I am happy to share my slices of Heaven on Earth with others.

Why they chose this property
It is directly on the water, it's spacious, it is unique, and it is beautiful in all seasons. It is a very humble and welcoming log cabin but it has all of the modern amenities needed to stay in touch with the rest of the world.
The house footprint is grand-fathered on the water and is only a few feet from the sandy beach into the river. It is very rare to have a handicapped-friendly property on a level lot on a trophy trout stream.

What makes this property unique
It is an incredibly remote cabin in the woods but only a few minutes from town. Many properties are difficult to reach due to unstable and or long gravel roads or complicated gate passwords. This property has all of the feelings of mountain living but is in the ideal location for traveling to town.
Additionally, the property is surrounded by mountains but it is a very level lot with an easy sandy beach into the water. Older guests and younger guests can easily enjoy getting in the river without scaling steep rocks or flights of steps. Although there is one step to enter the house, the main part of the house is all one level with no steps so it is convenient for travelers who are not mobile. The master ensuite with king bed and one queen guest bedrooms with adjacent bathroom are on the main level.
