It's too bad when political acrimony becomes retaliatory. This is what happened in the case of a recent review received which you may have seen if you follow me.

A total stranger, with whom we have never even spoken, much less met, but disagree with politically, chose to act in a way as to try and impact our livelihood.

With that said, it shouldn't have that effect because this page has been more of a personal journey, than an actual advertisement for our Cabin in the woods. I haven't even updated the pictures in 8 or 10 years.

It used to be kind of fun to do a check in here to our own home, but now it's too risky to let people know where we are, or more importantly where we aren't.

It's actually been about 15 months since we hosted anybody here, including family. One thing that's true about the review, is right now it's kind of a mess. With fire hardening being so demanding of our time, worrying about the inside has been less of a thing. It's really hard with my OCD desire to have everything in its place, but it is what it is.

However, this person not only has never rented here, but at any place we own or have hosted for others.

One thing about the internet, if there aren't any pics, it didn't happen! For once, we're glad that's true!

But just in case you want to see something that is real, we've enclosed a couple of screenshots of real reviews, and host measurements.

Life has been busy. Maybe in a week we will have some painting done and I can update our pics! Stay tuned!

With so many people from the RIVER, rather than OUR guests checking in, we changed the page name to make it more clear that it is our home. New pics needed. It looks quite a bit different right now.

We have installed a game camera. Today we helped a pet owner identify their lost pet. Hopefully, we can catch their beloved kitty, Sweet Pea, before Wiley finds him.

It's snowing again today... Only about 39 degrees. One would think it would have to be colder than that.

4 years ago when we took over the ranch from our tenants, the gardens were pretty much dead from lack of water. We have been working towards returning each of the eight gardens to their former glory.

The main garden is the Entry Garden. It is pretty much complete and just needs to mature, although we expect to add maybe 200 more bulbs in the fall.

There are two gardens in the front that have been barked out, the Upper Hillside garden, and the Lower Hillside Garden but not planted with flowers yet, just some Iris and Daffodils for the most part. The same with the Cottage Garden which is the farthest back.

The Common Garden is shared by the Cottage and the Main house. The Patio Garden is behind the house where the hot tub is and a large cement patio.

We also have a veggie garden but it is too shaded to produce right now. Not sure what we will do about that.

Finally, we have the Top of the Hill Garden. We don't go in it yet. Too overwhelmed by the bottom of the hill! It is our secret garden, behind a locked gate!

Each of the past four years, we have focused on the Entry garden, and tried to clean up the other gardens as we can. Tod...

Each of the past four years, we have focused on the Entry garden, and tried to clean up the other gardens as we can.

Today we are receiving our rewards.

All of the 6 lower flower gardens have steadily improved, but the entry garden is pretty much right where we want it to be. It is the largest area.

We expect to see dramatic improvements to the Cottage Garden, Patio Garden and Common Garden over the summer fall and early spring to have a finished product Next season!
