One of the main floor bedroom has two bunk beds (lower bed being a double) and works well for 4-6 kiddos.

Our oversized hot tub sits behind the house, accessed from either the dining room or the primary bedroom. Charming cafe lights bathe the hot tub and side patio in a warm glow.

Hood. Be aware that between December and April we can have severe winter weather, storms, blizzards, snow, and ice. Please consider the following prior to booking: - Only bring AWD or 4WD vehicles with chains when there is snow or ice on the ground, or a chance of winter precipitation during your stay. Our driveway is somewhat steep and can get icy, and guests have been stuck at the bottom of the driveway in the past. Limited parking is available on the shoulder of E. Salmon River Rd. at the top of the driveway. - Our property, and all of Welches, is prone to power outages during severe winter weather. There is a chance that the house will lose power during a winter storm, which also results in a loss of furnace heat (we have an electric furnace) and water supply (we are on a well). We have a large wood stove for heat, and a supply of emergency water is provided, but you may be without basic utilities for a few hours up to a couple of days in extreme cases.
