Great place for large parties. Well maintained grounds, several quick trails to look out onto the river. Historic and gated landmark in a perfect location with security and privacy. Showers work well and have a full house and kitchen access. Also, no pets are allowed because this is a historical landmark, and it is clearly stated when reserve the site, Karen! This is a big plus for me because n... Great place for large parties. Well maintained grounds, several quick trails to look out onto the river.

Also, no pets are allowed because this is a historical landmark, and it is clearly stated when reserve the site, Karen! This is a big plus for me because no one wants to hear your dog barking to remind them of your abysmal suburban existence. This is a place for Humans to connect with nature...and bears. Excellent price as well would go ahain.

This is a fantastic place to go to for a couple or a group of family and friends. We have been going there 1 to 2 times a year for the past 7 yesrs. Even the kids and grandkids love it. Having a fenced yard at the main house really helps. The prices are great. The accommodations are always clean. The host (Jack) is very nice and takes exceptional care of the grounds. Couldn't find a more relaxing... This is a fantastic place to go to for a couple or a group of family and friends. We have been going there 1 to 2 times a year for the past 7 yesrs.

We attended a wedding here last summer. It's a sweet little venue, with a terrific covered pavilion big enough for a fairly large gathering. Plan on a longish drive to get there, but if you're in Bonners or Moyie, this is a very affordable and pretty spot.
