About the host
Hosted by Sarah Vise

We moved to the Upper Murray area in 1980 and built our log home first. We built our first cottage in 1985 and our second cottage in 1995.
Why they chose this property
We love this area. It was such a wonderful area to discover. Each time we drove into it we felt the peace and tranquility. We still do!!
What makes this property unique
The Upper Murray and our property offer a "real" country experience. This is not a developed tourist destination, so you get the fun of experiencing a quiet untouched rural area. The views are amazing. Our cottages are uniquely constructed, ,cozy and personalized. Our quests just love the peace.
