We were higher than the clouds! Full of Nostalgia and character, this home was a budget friendly, warm and spacious home. It came well equipped and was private. The wood fire on the crispy nights was perfect. It is set in an amazingly beautiful forest on a big mountain. The drive is stunning and the trees and mountains and river views are spectacular and endless. Beautiful local produce and friendly locals.

Trails End House Maydena

BenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Convenient location for the Maydena Bike Park, the house certainly had everything we needed for a cosy weekend. Beds were comfortable, hosts were very responsive, the fire place was a hit and the kitchen was well equipped. The house itself is a bit of a strange layout without internal stairs and given the wet weather during our stay it was a bit awkward to move between the bedrooms upstairs and the kitchen downstairs, but in drier months it wouldn’t be a problem. Overall we had a great stay, thank you so much!

@westonfarm - #Farmstay

AmandaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Belinda's place is a great rural escape that is close to all needed amenities. It was peaceful and full of light, with an unexpected bonus of Netflix! We loved the surrounding wildlife and picturesque surrounds. Make sure to have a flashlight/phone light available if arriving after dark - it is truly rural with no lights (make sure to look up at the amazing stars while you're at it!)

Country Escape Studio Apartment

KitRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We only stayed one night in this charming home but loved it. The maps had a hard time finding the place but Christine gave great directions . It has such a lovely cottage vibe with fun, eclectic decor—and the sheep outside were a bonus! The amenities were great, with coffee, milk, and even a luxurious spa bath. As we were on a hiking road trip, the washer/dryer combo was a lifesaver. We felt really looked after and would definitely stay again!
