The cabin was absolutely perfect. It had everything we needed, and it was great to be able to use the kayaks instead of renting. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed grilling our dinner every night. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!
This is our second time staying at rocky bottom ranch and will definitely be back! The place is always clean and the owners are easy to communicate with. We love that we got to bring our pup too!
The cabin had everything we needed. It was perfect for our dogs ! And so close to the cute town of Eminence. The lil shops are nice and the Dairy shack was delicious also another restaurant we went to for breakfast was good .
Loved our stay, everything was just as described. Beautiful decor, and we enjoyed the welcome basket. We loved the scenic area in all directions. We also spent time just enjoying the wrap-around porch.
Thanks for a lovely visit.
Great place and great property managers. The wraparound porch is wonderful for a night of grilling. The views around the property are nice as well. 5 minutes to several food places and grocery store. Will stay here again in the future.
We are repeat visitors. We love the location. We have lots of family that come in for the trail ride and this place makes for a great gathering with all the amenities. We also love floating Jack Fork and everything needed is at the cabin if you forget anything.
Whether you’re planning to canoe, kayak, fish, or visit the nearby natural attractions, this country home is right across from Dollar General on the outskirts of Eminence, so if you forgot something, you can just walk across the street, and you’re just minutes from the restaurants and rivers. We had a great time, and grilled every meal.
This was our 2nd trip to this property. We enjoyed it so much last year we decided to come back. Great house! We like that there is a yard for our dog, everything you could ever need to cook a meal, a grill, an awesome deck with plenty of chairs to relax in and a nice firepit area. Definitely recommend!
This was a wonderful stay! Perfect for a family with dogs. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, the grounds were beautiful, and the bathroom was great for showering off the river at the end of the day. We used playing cards and small cooler the host provided while we were there and enjoyed a nice fire outside. Our only concerns were the bannister leading down the back deck stairs - it was a bit wobbly towards the bottom, and the gas grill outside seemed to struggle to maintain heat the second night we were there. No worries though because we just used the broiler in the kitchen oven instead. Would definitely book again! The hosts responded immediately when we had a question about something in the kitchen.
This is the perfect place for a quiet family getaway. Our family loved the location and the cabin had everything we could have needed. Our kids had a blast playing in the creek outback as well as cooking smores over the fire in the fire pit. We also brought our four legged travel companion for the first time and the fenced yard was perfect to let him run and play. The hosts were friendly and responsive. We will definitely be back and recommend to all our friends and family.
Very conveniently located to Eminence and surrounding attractions. On paved road but situated far enough back to limit road noise. Well appointed house with an amazing porch to extend living space. Communication with the owner was easy, concise and very pleasant. Overall, a wonderful experience.
This cabin was PERFECT for us! Four adults and our doggos slept comfortably, played games, made waffles, grilled steaks, used the kayaks, and ran around in the fenced in yard over two days. The cabin was clean and stocked SO well. The communication was top notch, couldn’t have asked for better. There were only three adult life jackets for kayaking, so I’d maybe consider bringing your own, but that wasn’t a huge deal as there were youth ones and my mom is small 😂 honestly, so minimal in the grand scheme of the stay. We will definitely be back to stay again!
This cabin was located right on the edge of town across the street from a Dollar General, making it super convenient. However, it still has a very private feel and lots of outdoor space. The fenced in yard for our dog was such a perk. The owner is super responsive as well, which is so helpful. I am so glad I found this gem. I will definitely be booking with Russell Properties for my next Eminence stay! Highly recommend!
My family and I stayed for several days in honor of what would have been my dads 65th birthday. We couldn't have had a better time. The cabin is so charming and close to town for everything you could need. Although it's close to the road, there is minimal noise as it is pretty rural. We loved sitting on the wrap around deck watching the birds and listening to the whippoorwill's in the evening. The cabin has everything you could need - I would love to go there in the winter for that wood stove and a fresh snowfall! Emily was an excellent host and communicator. We would recommend her cabin every time!
Host Emily was very friendly. She responded quickly to my messages. We had no problems. Cabin was very nice. Lots and lots of room for two adults, large wrap around porch, good kitchen and bathroom. Comfy chairs. Good set of dishes and kitchen appliances. Lots of coffee pods and a good coffee maker. Beds were comfortable. When we come back, this will be a top choice. Thank you Emily.
My husband and I took our 2 adult children with their significant others and family dog. Eminence is just beautiful country. We got our ATV permits in advance, and enjoyed riding the many trails. We visited Alley Springs and Rocky Falls. We also spent a day on the river bank while the kids used the kayaks. The house has everything and more. Lots of extras. Love the wrap around deck and fenced in yard. I was afraid the (adult) kids would not be comfortable with the bunkbeds and sofa sleeper, but the fun they had out weighed any discomfort. Loved the privacy and convenience of the location. We would definitely stay here again.
