Host profile image
I am from Chicago originally and have lived in the valley, but have been going north of the valley since I was 21. I started with a small trailer, then a bigger trailer, then a bigger trailer, and finally a home! I am up there in between guests. I love it! So peaceful. So safe. Everyone waves as they pass and greets you when they walk by if they see you. My fit watch goes from a stress level of 33-42, to 13-19. Seriously. :)

Why they chose this property

BEAUTIFUL drive from freeway to home with pull-off spots to observe and take pictures! The town is quiet and remote. No sirens. No loud cars. No pollution. No house parties with loud music are allowed. No illegal drugs. No smoking allowed inside or on porch. We have respect for our little town and they have the same respect. NO fires please. Danger to all. The yards are very large all around mine with NO close neighbors, so there IS much privacy and space in between. Small town with good morals! 15 mph roads please. Now get out there and have the FUN!

What makes this property unique

Peace. Serene. Fresh. Friendly. Safe. River. ATVing. Walking. Hiking. Beautiful views surrounding of mountains and horses. :)
