Our time at the Turkey Ridge Cottage was absolutely wonderful, and provided us with all of the peace and quiet we were searching for. We really didn't need to bring much as it was stocked so well! Tom and Kathy were so friendly! We were able to walk around the area, cook our foil packs in the firepit, and watch the sunset. We enjoyed the historical books about Turkey Ridge, and the book which Tom wrote. We could not have found a more tranquil and beautiful place to stay! Thank you Tom and Kathy!

Great stay.

A beautiful place to get away with the family! The river was lovely after a little bit of a struggle to get out of the slough with all of us on the canoe because the water was low from a dry summer. Would recommend 10/10 as a nice quite/private getaway.

The cabin was very clean and cozy and the surrounding property is extremely beautiful! We came to fish, and every inch of the riverbank below holds both small and largemouth bass, plenty of pumpkin seeds and bluegill. You won’t need to paddle much further than the sandbar across from the slough.Both canoes had holes in them but Kathy was so quick to bring kayaks down for us. Enough can not be said about the hospitality that Kathy and Tom extended to us, if it was personally towing our car from the river drive (the 4wheel drive warning needs to be heeded… our fault) or helping us up and down the 2nd day, The did everything to make sure the stay exceeded our expectations.

Off the beaten path

Perfect little place large enough for 3 couples. We enjoyed the view! The large picnic table was great for having dinner outside. Make sure to have your supplies with you when checking in - its almost 20 minutes to town and the cabin is too nice to leave once youve arrived!

Excellent escape from city life!

This was one of my best vacations ever. The area was remote enough to be quiet and serene but close enough to a bigger town to get supplies for out stay. My family loved being out in the outdoors, especially being so close to a river. This vacation really allowed us to unplug and rest from busy city life. We all can’t wait to get back and do it again!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Walker

Host profile image
Tom & Kathy both grew up in the area and were gone for 30+ years in professional careers. We made it a priority to return to our roots, slow down, and enjoy nature and this scenic area.
We live on this property but our location is well away and out of view of Turkey Ridge Cottage.

Why they chose this property

The land here was where Tom spent his boyhood. It is a special place. Four brothers spent many days exploring the river and hills. Caves in the bluff as occupied us, as well as special hiding places in the hills. This region of the state has its own flavor and countenance.

What makes this property unique

Guests tell us that a getaway at Rock Eddy Bluff Farm is unequaled for releasing the tension of the work-a-day world. There are broad scenic perspectives for the eye, gentle silence for the mind, and plenty of activities to select from. Still, the appeal of escaping to this special place centers on stepping away from the whirlwind of modern life. Guest have brought work from jobs while at the cottage. We don’t recommend it! You will find plenty to keep you occupied, but the most popular activity is surrendering ones self to nature.
