This house was just what we were hoping for: beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing! The property was gorgeous, and we loved rushing stream and the hotsprings pools just outside the door. The owner met us at checkin, showed us a few tricky things like the sauna and antique stove, introduced us to their dogs, and then left us in privacy. My only complaint is that the bed was too soft, but my partner thought it was perfect! :)

Location is great if you want to be in the countryside outside of town and on a river / stream. In the Fall you can hear the elk bugle.Cooking at the house is more difficult as there is not any grill and pans are not non-stick, so cleaning-up is more work.

PaTrick sorry you had hard time cooking. There Is a Weber gas BBQ under the stair We use Cuisinart pans. We took out the non stick pans due clients concerns about plastics. There is a BBQ on our bridge with a Treager that is for guests use. The stove also has a grill. Wish you had let us know you were having Such a hard time cooking. We like pir guest to have the best experience we can offer

Enchanting Bavarian cottage with beautiful antique décor at every turn. Lisa and Michael saw to our every need and keep the property in gorgeous condition. We enjoyed the 3 hot tubs fed by natural hot springs and their private beach alongside Warm Springs Creek. They served us a lovely dinner on their covered bridge at sunset - so memorable! Wonderful hosts, can't wait to return!!

Amazing property, incredible and engaging hosts, so welcoming and friendly. I have never stayed at a property that invited you with fresh eggs, English muffins, butter, condiments, endless coffee, a six pack of beer and three bottles of wine. What a welcome. Bathroom very well stocked in case you forgot something. This is a repeat on our list, location is amazing. The river and all of the tubs with natural hot springs water was such a treat! Fantastic cycling right out the door. Shout out to Jack and Heidi, hosts’ dogs, they are an added bonus!

Title: Peaceful Creekside Retreat with Mineral Soaking TubsWe loved our stay at this beautiful historic log home tucked beside Warm Springs Creek. The property has a timeless character that traces back to its homestead roots, yet it’s comfortably updated and thoughtfully appointed. It’s clear the hosts care deeply about creating a special experience.If you’re looking for a quiet, romantic escape, this place is a gem. The drive is about six miles down gravel roads, but the moment you arrive, the world softens. The sound of the creek, the spacious cabin, and the three mineral-fed soaking tubs make it easy to unwind. The sauna is an added gift after long days exploring.The cabin works wonderfully for couples or small groups, and the peaceful setting brings regular visits from the local wildlife.

Quaint, Quiet, River-Front, Fantastic Sauna & Hot Springs

Beautiful cabin right on the river. Hot springs and sauna were wonderful! Water pressure in the shower was light but everything else was great! Loved the layout and decor in the cabin and the grounds were beautiful as well.

Beautiful stay in an older cabin. Highly communicative owner and good directions. Would definitely recommend for people who are already a little familiar with the more rustic side of life. (It's an old building with off the grid quirks)
