Overall, this was such a creative and rustic place. I loved the antique pieces and the functional use of items. The bed was very comfortable. The challenge was that the deck had not been cleaned (bird droppings and just grime) for a long time - had to put a towel on the chair to cover the yuk. The adirondack chairs down by the beautiful brook were not used due to the many bird droppings that were not new. Attention to these details would have left me providing a fantastic review, but the bird droppings and grime was icky. Also, the screen door had no screen in it on the top so trying to have cool evening air (no air conditioner) in the room was not an option. I was surprised that the beautiful hanging flower pots were not watered at all, so they were dead by the end of our third day. Again, attention to these details would be my recommendation. Thanks so much for the wonderful location.

The property and location was very nice - we loved hearing the creek and being able to leave the screen door open at night. The bed was clean and comfortable. The room needs a good vacuuming - it was very dusty in the corners and along the edges. We were unable to access the wifi with information provided in confirmation or with the instructions provided in the room.

We really enjoyed sitting on the back deck with the river running below. Peaceful and private. A great place to stay central to all the activities Joseph has to offer. Easy check in.

We thought it was unique and charming. Very Clean. The quiet surroundings, creek in the back of the property, rooster crowing at dawn....somewhat of an old time feeling with the conveniences of a modern stay. The TV was problematic to us, but we are seniors with no sense of the digital universe and the surroundings begged for reading and relaxing rather than watching the Tube. I would recommend it to others.

Listening to a running creek at night at this property was so relaxing and this made our stay very enjoyable.

Beautiful location on the river
Although a bit crowded with the "shabby chick" furnishings the decor was charming and inventive. There's a variety of cooking devices for such a small space but a lack of workspace unless you move some operations to the back deck. And there is the crowning glory; an adequate deck just above a small river surrounded by trees busy with birds, occasional view of cows, deer and perhaps even a skunk. All in all a lovely quiet property within a few minutes drive of downtown.

Long weekend away
Would definitely stay here again. The bunk house is simply adorable. Very comfortable bed and we loved listening to the sound of the river. We even experienced some wildlife; a doe and her fawn. If was the perfect spot for our long weekend away.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bunkhouse. It’s a fun and unique space but had everything we needed too. We took advantage of the refrigerator, coffee maker and TV, and especially enjoyed listening to the river in the morning on the deck. After hiking in the morning or spending time in Joseph it was lovely to be able to sit down in the chairs by the river and read a book in the afternoon. Check in was super easy. Would stay here again.

This was a very comfy rustic retreat. The bed was very comfy, the room was cozy and the deck was inviting. The river flowing through the property is a plus, we even had a black bear wandering along the river. We would definitely stay again when in the area.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Bunkhouse! Sheila was so helpful and communicative before and during our stay - she gave us excellent recommendations for food and activities! Though it was smoky and super hot, we were able to cool off each evening with the door open and fan on. The space is full of fun details and whimsical surprises…I’ll admit - I did try on the hat that resembled a turquoise feather duster… The bunkhouse is a pretty neat repurposing of a space - it isn’t large, but the king bed is gigantic and the semi-private deck was my favorite part! We would definitely return!! 😊

I found the bunkhouse to be a superb lodging option for its cleanliness and ease of check in and check out. Comes fully equipped, including a small refrigerator and microwave , Along with the assortment of dishes and flatware etc. The shower itself, was spotless. Nice chairs on the small back deck where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee or a beverage in the evening and listen to the creek. Pleasant atmosphere, and private!

What an exquisite spot to unwind and relax with and in! I’ll start with the accommodating and aesthetically delightful room. Everything you need is in this studio space, including what you need to eat in if you choose. Take advantage of the outdoor grill and dine on the river. Speaking of which, how marvelous it is to sit on the deck in the morning under the trees, and watch the river roll by. So pleasant to listen to it at night through the open door! I took some art supplies with me and really enjoyed sitting by the river with my feet in it using my watercolors.
Sheila was an absolute delight. I so enjoyed meeting her and how she works hard to make this place and your time there, memorable.
Thank you, Sheila for all you provided for us and we hope to make our way back to you one day!
