This is located outside of town away from the crowds but still close enough to run into town for supplies. The road leading off the highway back to the cabin is gravel with some hills but no problems with a suv or 4x4 truck. Enjoyed visiting with owner at their watering hole the first night!!!
Our stay was perfection! Exactly as shown in our the pictures. Hosts were amazing and so kind. It was everything we needed for our mother/son adventure.

You guys were amazing! So glad to have you and we hope you come back soon!!
We had a wonderful time at the cabin! The owner's are very knowledgeable about the area and were great resources for us. The accommodations were very comfortable for us and for our horses. We are planning to return next year!!
The cabin was secluded but with help not too far away since the owners live on the property up the hill. The cabin is cute as a button seemed to have just about everything you would need to stay other than food and your personal things. Look forward to coming back.
This cabin was great to stay in. It was comfortable, clean peaceful and quiet. Lisa was great keeping us informed of the road conditions and of what to expect upon arrival. We had a great time!
The property was great! The cabin waas so cute and clean in a secluded area outside Eminence There was the cutest outpost on site ran by owners so if you want a drink, ice cream, pizza, or snack you didn't have to drive into town. The owners were very nice and had quick communication. We will be back.
The cabin was very clean and comfortable. Lisa is an excellent host and she was very fast to respond to any messages. She lives right next to the property and was always available and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here, and would gladly stay myself again!!

Thank you Kimberly! We loved hosting you and your friends!
Our stay was wonderful. The peace and tranquility of this place allows you to decompress completely. The spirit of the Lord resides here. The horses were beautiful and even the snow that fell was like God dressing the trees. We can't wait to return! The owner stayed in contact throughout our stay and the caretaker Adam was very accommodating!

Lately I've stayed at 3 cabins locally for business. The Ranch house was clearly the nicest.
We stayed in the Ranch house with some family and then went riding on the side by side and had a blast, the house was clean and the owners were very friendly, we will go back.
My college buddies and I were looking for a cabin to stay in for our annual get together while we kayaked on the Current River, and this cabin was fantastic. The owners were very welcoming, and the cabin was very nice and clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owners, Lisa and Scott, went above and beyond to make sure we had a good trip and gave us recommendations on things to do and how to navigate around the area. We really enjoyed our stay!
Best way to spend my 35th Birthday with my girls and our geldings. Definitely returning once our boys are ready for these hills more. Beautiful property and sooo relaxing!! Highly recommend!!

Thank you Samantha!! We loved having you and can’t wait for you to come back!
Had a wonderful time staying and riding with Lisa and Scott!
The Ranch house was perfect! Very comfortable.
Rode nearly 60 miles, crossing rivers and winding through the woods...and had some time to explore the local area!
Peaceful place to stay. The Ranch House was just like the pics on the website. I loved being able to bring my own food in and cook instead of eating out all the time. I will drive back.
We had a great week at the cabin. From the moment we checked in, the hosts were helpful and communication was great. It was clean and had everything we needed for our week-long stay. We enjoyed the extra space to relax after a day floating on the river. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials for the many meals we prepared. Bonus points for having hookups on property for the family that joined us, in their RV. We look forward to returning for future trips!
