The Cottage at Rusty Bar Ranch

The cottage features one full bedroom complete with Queen sized bed, heated mattress pad, and closet with hangars and mounted clothing rack. There is a 4K LED Smart webOS TV.

The blinds pushes up and pulls down from the bottom.

The cottage has a split system for heating and cooling of the main room. Instructions are in the welcome manual.

There are individual Cadet heaters located in the bathroom and bedroom.

While the entrance has no steps, there is one step down to enter the bathroom. Parking is directly outside the door putting you steps from the front door. There is a privacy gate which you may keep open or closed, your choice.

For those needing, or wanting to work, during your stay, there is an alcove complete with desk, comfortable office chair, and light. The desk can easily accommodate a laptop or a tablet.

Internet is provided by StarLink. The log in and password are in the welcome manual on the kitchen table as well as posted on this website.

The living room area features a queen sized futon and what is known as a click clack couch, which can be made into an additional bed. It is also known as RV, 3/4 or antique bed, depending on how much you want to pay for bedding. I discovered the RV bedding was the most expensive while the antique bedding was least expensive. (The bedding size was the same.) The bedding for the futon and click clack bed is located under the seat of the click clack couch. There is a 4K LED Smart webOS TV, with sound bar.

The window on the north side of the living room area, faces the red barn, and paddock area, for some of the horses who call the ranch home.

The dining area has a table and seating for 4. There is a fan with lights over the table along with a picturesque view of horses grazing in the south pasture .

The kitchen is complete with pots, pans, waffle iron, and bakeware, salt, pepper and cooking oil. We also provide coffee, flavored, and unflavored creamers, as well as sugar and a variety of artificial sweeteners. It has a full sized oven and stove, as well as a full sized refrigerator with freezer.

We have some of the sweetest, most awesome tasting well water, right out of the tap, however, we do stock the refrigerator with bottled water. We also provide a welcome basket of goodies for your arrival.

Roy has one restaurant that serves very good pizza and a bar that has great hamburgers. Yelm is 11 miles away and has some wonderful restaurants. We would be happy to recommend our favorites. They are listed in the welcome manual.

The bathroom features a walk in shower, with non-skid mat, as well as a full sized washer and dryer. Laundry detergent, bleach, and dryer sheets are provided. There is a shelf full of various sizes of towels for you to use.

The blind pushes up, and pulls down, from the bottom. It does not have strings like typical blinds.

Outside the bathroom door, is a private deck with gas firepit and chairs. You can see the pastures to the south and east, as well as to the north. You can also see Lookout Point where you can walk or drive up the hill to sit at the table, enjoy a meal or snack and have a panoramic view of the ranch as well as neighboring properties.

We strive to keep the cottage clean and sanitary for our guests. We have antimicrobial covers on the mattress, and pillows. All bedding is washed between guests, so you can rest assured you are coming into a clean environment.

The sinks, countertops, toilet, shower and floors are also cleaned between guests. We only use products that are environmentally safe without strong smells for those, like me, who have sensitivities.

We have a hospital grade ozone disinfection unit we run between guest stays, once the cottage is clean and ready for our next guests. Prior to us acquiring it, the unit was used to clean and disinfect hospital surgical theaters.
