If you liked the Miner's Cabin before. you will not believe it soon! I just got back from day 4 of framing and setting a river rock patio between the cabin and the river, which explains why I am covered in dirt and sand. But this is going to add so much to the Miner's! It will be big enough... More

I'm with Nancy: guests do hear road noise at the Miner's, and I wish it was farther from the road. But with the road up the hill a bit and over a berm on the uphill side, and the Trinity flowing by mere feet away on the other side, it's worth the trade-off. There are only a couple of places...

All hosts want their guests to have pleasant weather, but after a dry winter, we really need rain, and it hit off and on during these guests' stay with us. Who noticed?! They were out fishing, or in the hot tub, or walking the dogs, or barbecuing, or hiking, regardless of the weather. I told my husband, who was working... More

No wonder these guys enjoyed their stay! They came for steelhead and did well on a guided fly fishing trip on the Trinity, but then they fished from our property and just rocked. The pictures they sent us were so cool, I featured them on our web site's home page for a while, and they are still on our Fishing... More

What a great match we were with these guests! Considering Steph is the only person in the world to have paddled a kayak from Canada to Mexico, OF COURSE he would encourage her to run the river with her 6 year old. I'm surprised he didn't suggest they consider tubing to Equador. We love seeing, and facilitating, if necessary, a... More

This spunky little family from Turkey arrived in their small Honda on Christmas Day just as heavy snow was falling. They heeded our advise to bring chains and plunged on unaffected. When the snow hung in for several days, they bought their daughter a sled and we took her to the upper meadow past their cabin to a spot where... More

We are so appreciative of this review because it highlights how hard we work to make sure our guests have a fun and relaxing time. They were great guests who took full advantage of our lovely trails, waterways and properties, plus they were adventurous enough to suit their dogs up for a river trip! I took over 200 pictures on...

As we say in our guest Welcome Book (delivered electronically prior to arrival and printed in cabins), "Call us if you need anything!" Had these guests let us know they were bothered by the road noise, we'd have suggested moving them to "Sow's Ear," the cabin over by us 6 miles away. The highway does go by above our Steel... More

How did I not respond to this review sooner?! Sorry, Erika. We thought you all were a kick. Families that are into nature and love the river are our favorites, and you certainly qualify. We deeply appreciate your comments on both our cabin and our approach. We simply love helping folks have a wonderful experience. You take good care, heidi More
