Great place, great history. I does still have a creepy feeling also. I hope the big Barn become more stable for preserving it.

My review is very belated, but I just read a poor review and couldn't believe my eyes. None of the things that apparently happened to the negative reviewer happened to my 12 year old daughter, her 70 year old grandmother and I when we stayed there in June of 2013. The cabin was pristene. My mother in law is a stickler for cleanliness (like way, way overboard) and I was nervous about this but she was delighted with the accommodations. The hot tub was crystal clear when we arrived (by the way, I am pool and spa certified, nationally, and you never change the water between uses or guests... that is ridiculous. That is what chlorine, bromine and filtration systems are for. The grounds were so secluded and private, we never saw another soul (except for the horses on the adjacent pasture and a few deer). There simply wasn't a single thing lacking. The owner called us once, just after we arrived, to ask if there was anything we had wished was provided or that we forgot to bring, and to wish us a happy stay (as well as for my daughter to come up and feed the horses if she would like). We never heard from her again. The price was unbelievable for what you get. Like, I thought there must be some mistake. And deposit/cleaning was simply not an issue. I do tend to pride myself on tidying up any place I stay on vacation, as I myself have occupied the thankless (and well under-tipped) profession of cleaning up after people who wrongly believe that they can make as big a mess as they want simply because 'someone else is paid to do that'. Someone else is paid to scrub the toilet and wash the floor, strip, wash and replace the linens and wipe away all traces of your visit. They are not expecting to heavily scrub after a careless trail of filth. I've never had a deposit withheld. Perhaps it's a good rule of thumb to tidy up after yourself. I loved Walker's Cabin - so much that a conversation more than three years after my stay with a couple gal friends prompted me to look it up and see if it is still available for rent. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat - and for me, that includes round-trip flights from Seattle and a decent drive in a rental car. Absolutely worth it. read more

My husband and I stayed with our toddler and parents at the Walker's Cabin over the 4th of July weekend. We were looking forward to our vacation but unfortunately had a horrible experience. The owner and her husband were less than hospitable and made the experience absolutely awful. We had no privacy and we're constantly watched when swimming or walking around the property. The husband of the owner would drive his ATV around the man made lake and just stare at us without saying a word. Then he had the audacity to pee right in front of us while we were swimming. We were absolutely disgusted and horrified. Furthermore the cabin had no shutters in the livingroom or bathroom to shield us from prying us. Several times we saw someone drive by the cabin as if monitoring our every move. In addition the owner waa extremely stingy. The cabin was also far from well kept as stated on the website. The beds were old and made ghastly sounds when turning waking up everyone in the house. The oven leaked gas and our doors had to be open to ventilate the house. When we left the owner, Valeri, took our entire deposit because she per her email to us she had to fill up the jacuzzi with clean water again, get new sheets because they had sunblock on them and wash "baby hand prints" from the entire house! So not only was the jacuzzi water dirty as she does not change it for each guest but she nickle and dimed us for sunblock stains on sheets and my toddler leaving handprints on her glass table! Given my experience I will never be returning nor recommending this cabin to anyone. read more
