Michele is an incredible host, and her property is nothing short of magical. Even though we arrived late, she welcomed us with kindness and immediately made us feel at home. From the moment you step out of your vehicle, you're surrounded by peaceful nature, towering cedars, beautiful gardens, fountains, birdhouses, and the soothing sound of the river. The cozy cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, dressed with Michelle's handmade quilts and pillows—we had the best sleep in years. The cabin was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with towels, a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, dishes, spices, popcorn, games, books, and the freshest well water we've ever tasted. The riverside fire pit became our favorite place to relax while listening to birds, watching eagles, and taking in the mountain views. At night, the lights along the path create an unforgettable atmosphere. Although Hope is only 10–15 minutes away with great restaurants like Home and Rolly's, we barely wanted to leave the property. Nearby attractions like Lake of the Woods and the Othello Tunnels are well worth visiting. Michele is a genuinely kind person who perfectly balances hospitality with privacy. Lady, Spencer, and her other furry companions made our stay even more special. This anniversary gift from our daughter became one of our favourite memories, and we've already decided this will be our home away from home for years to come. Thank you, Michele.
