A few of our favorite recommendations for your stay—both around the area and close to the house. It’s such a special place, and I hope you get to enjoy a mix of exploring and relaxing.
🌿 Outdoor & Local Experiences
Tinker Falls
One of our favorite hikes—beautiful and a bit of an adventure. You can actually walk behind the waterfall. Once you’re behind the falls, head left and continue up along the waterfall trail. From there, take the trail that connects to the service road and follow it to the top of the mountain—the view is absolutely worth it.

Spectacular scenery and waterfalls. Just be sure to check conditions before heading out, as it can occasionally close.

A beautiful, easy walk along a creek on an old railroad bed—very peaceful and close to town.
