Great family getaway

We had a beautiful family long weekend. We loved the place, because the kids had privacy with their families and we all could gather for a full fun family get away. Our grandchildren were welcomed with toys and comfort. Our children commented how comfortable the home felt. The wineary down the road and close to town for groceries and restaurants made it very nice to stay. We hope to go back.

All the comforts of home

I only had my mom and four boys with me, but the home had plenty of rooms and beds for many more. The kitchen is well stocked and had most things we needed. It was very clean inside with comfortable beds. I loved the sound of the stream from the back porch and seeing the deer pass by the backyard. The hot springs nearby made a fun activity.

Perfect Thanksgiving Stay

The home was perfect for our needs; we needed a place to accommodate our large family, be able to cook Thanksgiving dinner, and have room for parents and kids to do their own thing, but be together for family and meal times. The house met all our needs. Kitchen was well stocked with platters and serving dishes, pans, plates, etc. Living areas are open and spacious…great when needing to add a few more chairs around the dinner table. Plenty of room to spread out for the kids to play together and the adults to visit. Would definitely recommend this home!

We had a great vacation here

We have stayed in alot of VRBO properties and this was one of our best experiences. Mary was a very involved and helpful host (with everything from recommending places to go, to helping us find someone to make a birthday cake for my kids!). Her home was even more beautiful in person than online, as well as spacious and comfortable. It was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. All we had to do was get groceries! There are so many things to do and see within driving distance. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful with beautiful nature to explore - this is a perfect spot :)

Wonderful Stay, Great Hostess

We were in town for a wedding with people coming from Seattle, Maryland, and Northern Idaho. The house was great, with an open living room and kitchen, perfect for catching up and laughing into the late hours. Sitting outside, you could hear the soothing sounds of a near by stream in the cool morning air with a steaming cup of coffee. It was also practical with three bathrooms, and enough beds and bedrooms to sleep our group of eight (and two more). The hostess, Mary, provided clear info and instructions, to include great recs for things to do and eat in wonderful Buhl, Idaho. On her recommendation, my four brothers and I visited Balanced Rock, and got some incredible photos together. Absolutely incredible, veteran owned property! And Buhl is the perfect place for a weekend getaway or a longer stay. Highly recommended!

Lovely setting for a relaxing get away

If you are looking for a relaxing get away with nicely appointed lodging, then look no further. My friends and I enjoyed a long weekend here and found the lodging very nice. It was clean and welcoming. Check in process was a breeze and the hosts were very kind and responsive. Floor plan accommodates large groups with two separate living areas, upstairs and down, comfortable beds and 2 1/4 bathrooms. Outdoor seating arounds have something for everyone. The deck has comfortable, covered seating. There are several other inviting patio settiings to enjoy. All afford hearing the Kanuka Creek. There is a small greenway across from the house where you can enjoy the waterfall. The lodging had everything we needed during out stay. Enjoy all there is to see around this beautiful area of Idaho with your home base here to relax. Highly recommended!

Relaxing weekend getaway

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the property. The host was very nice, providing suggestions for nearby things to do and was quick to answer any questions. The property itself was quite large, with a really neat deck and patio with plenty of space to hang out. The weather was a bit chilly when we stayed, so we mostly spent our time inside. The house was well decorated with a fully stocked kitchen, which we utilized thoroughly for all of our meals during our stay. We also visited the nearby Banbury Hot Springs, a short 15 minute drive. There was no cell reception for T-Mobile & Verizon, but the WiFi at the house was adequate for sending messages and phone calls.
