Description

Provides a restful haven to relax your mind and renew your spirit. The facility was once the working bronze studio of local well known artist J. Shirley Bothum. Sleeps 6 studio style w privacy walls including one King Bed room w/ private river deck, one Queen room and a futon in main living area. This is a traditional studio space and so the wall dividers are industrial style and do not provide an enclosed room, but do provide plenty of privacy with extremely comfortable beds. We can accommodate pets, as long as they stay off of the furniture and beds, for a small additional $10 fee per pet per night. We have a small kennel and igloo dog house, pets are not to be left unattended in the rooms. We have paddock and pasture facilities for the equine guests as well (see additional charges of $10/night). Studio includes work space, free wifi and appointed kitchenette with large dining table and an outdoor grill. The studio and riverfront deck can accommodate small events beautifully. Our private space is two minutes from town but feels a world away.

I don’t make it back to Joseph often but how could I miss my 30th high school reunion. The Cowboy Riverside Retreat was the perfect place to go back and relax after all the crazy of the Fourth of July and the reunion on the 5th. The peace of the woods, the sound of the river and nostalgic decor brought back so many memories! We couldn’t have asked for any better accommodations and plan to return as often as our busy life allows!

The accommodations were as advertised. The location is very close to downtown making it easy to drive or walk in. My wife, parents, and I loved the decor :)

The property and surrounding views were spectacular. Trip wad amazing. Only negatives were ants and a lose deck plank. Extreme tripping hazard as it is right in the walking path to the door. Deck plank end is sticking up. Thank you.

I was expecting a stand-alone cabin but found that this was a group of apartments converted from pre-fab buildings. There was nothing private about the accommodations. Within the apartment, the walls for the bedrooms did not reach the ceiling, so it was more like they installed room dividers. Across the stream was the municipal airport, so you had the pleasure of listening to the airplanes take off in the morning. The facility was a bit run-down (eg., the water feature in the center had been abandoned with grass growing up through the former pond). This would have been OK if I had only paid $75/night, but considering the price, this was a total disappointment.

Upon arrival we were impressed with the well kept grounds and spotless room. Loved the quaint homey feel, with the incredible river views and the sounds of it lulling us to sleep at night. Rachel and Kari were truly kindhearted and helpful. Hope to see you soon. Knapp sisters 2022.

You are staying in the former studio of Shirley Bothum and many of his exquisite bronze sculptures and memorabilia are included in the decor. What treat to Bothum's detailed art up close! Very comfy beds, sufficiently stocked kitchen, lots of outdoor seating options to listen to the creek. Trophy animals adorn one wall and no where else will you pat the head a full size bear on the way to your sleeping quarters!

It was a perfect place to stay while we went on a couple of nice day hikes.
