Nice property

The owners were in communication and the instructions were very clear for the property. Beautiful walking paths through the woods with bunny and deer sightings along the way. Very peaceful and nice to unplug while there. The decor is very cozy and welcoming.

Great Spot!

Great location only about 15 minutes from Big Fork. Pretty buggy but what else do you expect being up north and luckily they have a screened in patio to still be able to enjoy the outdoors. They have everything you need and all of the furniture is super comfortable!

Rest and Relaxation

The Effie Oasis is an incredible retreat space. The house was clean and stocked and the land, filled with named walking trails, gave space to explore and be in nature!

Comfy Country Cabin

It was great to spend some time with friends at Bob’s cabin. The trails are beautiful, the property is well kept, and the cabin is cute and well equipped! Lawn games, fire pit, perfectly clean,comfortable beds, etc. It’s a great place, and Bob is a terrific host.

Awesome place to get away

Beautiful property and beautiful home. Everything inside was very nice-furniture, appliances, kitchen utensils, dishware, bedding and towels. I really appreciated the hiking guide with the map-nice touch. And we loved the fire pit as well. I thought it was odd that Jehovah’s Witnesses showed up on the doorstep our first morning there since we were a few miles outside of Effie, and even further away from where I saw their church in Big Fork. Other than that weird encounter, my friend and I were extremely satisfied with the accommodations.
