This was a gorgeous one bedroom property that we used as a home base for 3 nights of our 8-night vacation! We felt very comfortable and cozy there and everything was spotless. The views from the bathroom and kitchen windows are spectacular...it would have been awesome to have a balcony to sip tea on and watch the sunsets/listen to the rain, but we didn't have much time for that anyway.
It's a pretty remote location, but we didn't mind driving about an hour or so away to find adventures in beautiful forests and state parks! It's not like we had traffic to deal with...just wide open beautiful country roads. I highly recommend going to Mesa Falls...it's considered a mini Niagra Falls and is absolutely spectacular. It was the perfect outing for a rainy day (bring a raincoat) because you park and it's only a short walk to the falls. Also, stop in at the visitor's center and grab a granola bar and a souvenir and enjoy chatting with the nice park rangers. Don't forget to bring $5 cash for parking. I also recommend horseback riding in Harriman State Park. It's a gorgeous ride around Silver Lake. We ended up getting soaked during a surprise downpour and were kicking ourselves for not better preparing for rainy weather. I'm glad we decided to wear our raincoats, but definitely should have worn waterproof pants as well. Oh well! Live and learn. What do you expect from Southern Californians? ;-) Big Springs is also a lovely outing. There's a delicious Mexican restaurant near there where you eat on the patio overlooking Snake River (right off the main highway). There's also a yummy ice cream and pizza place next to the river as well. After all these adventures you will love coming "home" to this charming and modern apartment to shower, rest your bones, have a bite to eat, watch some Netflix, and slip off to dreamland while thinking about all the beauty you saw in the Gem State!
