Rural Palouse Bliss

We came to my alma mater, University of Idaho, for a tour for my daughter, a senior in high school, and to watch the Vandals beat Montana State! I loved my 7 years living in the Palouse and miss the place very much. Parents weekend had made in-town accommodations too expensive, and this retreat was priced just right, albeit a bit of a drive. The location, however, is dynamite. The accommodations are rustic and a bit spartan, but clean. I went for a hike on the property in the mornings and the scenery and landscape is incredible. All-in-all, we loved it. We also beat the breakfast crowd in Moscow by having a wonderful breakfast in Potlatch on our way into the game.

Rustic/quiet…with issues

We enjoyed the home and new it would be rustic but the mouse poop in the bathroom ( I cleaned up every morning) was not acceptable also we could not get hot water out of the larger bathroom sink. We also smelled propane at the back door on 2 separate occasions.

Tranquil Stay

Very accurate listing description. Enjoyed the quiet property and our kids loved seeing the wildlife (deer, porcupine, garter snake and many birds). Very easy to follow rules. Didn’t mind the lack of TV and Wi-Fi. Watching DVDs on the projector was a hit for the kids. We’d book again.

Beautiful area!

It was a perfect place to come back to after the family event's. Nice and quiet and all the amenities anyone could ever need. Would definitely stay again. Im new to the house renting thing but was only disappointed in the non refundable damage fee. Had to drop 1500 if you wanted it refunded which seems a little over kill in my opinion.
