UPDATE as of Sept 2023: We have upgraded our internet! We are now with Starlink and our internet speeds have increased substantially. We receive several questions about our internet and whether it's fast enough to be able to work remotely. With how remote the property is it has always been difficult to provide reliable internet. We believe that we have now achieved that with the new internet and hope you enjoy it as well!
Con't: With the new internet we have now upgraded to smart TVs with several applications. Feel free to log in or download any app (be sure to log out when you leave!). We have ditched the DISH network and now provide a basic plan on Sling for your viewing pleasure. While we know our home is about enjoying nature and disconnecting from it all, we hope the upgraded internet and TV service provides a little more comfort.
Con't: At one point we had cattle roaming the property during the summer months and it was a point of stress especially with dogs. We no longer allow the cattle to roam the property.
Con't: We have added a number of arcade games in the basement (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, Pac-Man, NBA Jam and Marvel Pinball). We're in the process of updating the basement even more to make it as enjoyable as possible. Along with the arcade games we have ping pong, a foosball table, dual basketball arcade game, darts and a large TV.

This beautiful 6 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is located on 40 acres surrounded by Pine and Aspen trees with a creek running through the meadow. The property is in a remote location as it backs to the National Forest with no neighbors in sight (see notes below). There are plenty of rooms/beds to sleep and if additional room is needed there are pull out beds on the basement couch along with air mattresses. We truly believe this property is one of a kind and we are happy to share it with your family. The property itself has a rich history from when our family first settled on the land many years ago.
Activities include a playset for the kids, a tire swing for all, horseshoe pit, whiffle ball, cornhole, ping pong, darts, and pinball machine. We have a big wrap around porch that is perfect for early morning coffee or late afternoon rain showers. A big ramada sits just in front of a firepit with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. To the west is forest service land. On the other side of the property to the south is also forest service land. We truly have a one of a kind property that makes you feel like you are camping with the perks and comfort of city living.
Fishing and hiking are nearby including Luna Lake, Hulsey Lake, Big Lake, and the Black River. For your convenience we have provided some base fishing poles and a tackle box to use.
A small part of the acreage is owned by our lovely Aunt/Uncle. They have 3 small bunk houses southeast of our home about 30 yards down the hill. Those are your only neighbors and they are only there during certain times in the summer. They will not impede on your space and are happy to discuss the history of the property and help answer any questions/concerns during the times they are there. Their homes face the opposite direction of ours so you wouldn't even notice them when they are there but they are there to help if needed (again they are only there every so often during the summer months and occasionally in October for a weekend). They have been very supportive of us renting our home and when they are present, they are there to help if needed. Noise has never been an issue and they would be your only occasional neighbor.

Note about the winter months (Nov - Mar): We love the snow just as much as anyone however the winter months can be difficult to manage. You must have a 4X4 or AWD to access the home. As mentioned above the property is located in a remote area and even when the road gets plowed it's important to have a 4X4 vehicle. There are a lot of times during the winter that it would not be a problem at all but as a disclaimer in the even there is snow fall during your stay we must recommend a 4X4 vehicle. During these winter months we also charge an additional $200 fee. This fee allows us to continue to rent during the winter months. The additional cost of heating, winterizing and plowing the road can add up so in order for us to rent during the colder months we must charge the additional fee.
We are happy to share our home with your family. If you have any questions prior to booking please do not hesitate to send a message.
