Tucked back in the trees off the road on our small cabin community development , “Iron Ore Reserve” (see www.ironorereserve.com if you’d like more info), this welcoming retreat features new flooring and fresh paint throughout giving the space a clean, modern feel while still embracing the rustic charm of the area. With three comfortable bedrooms—two with queen beds and one with two twin beds—the home sleeps six guests comfortably, plus there are 2 memory foam sleeping pads and bedding available for up to two additional guests.

    We had a great stay at the Mackay Guesthouse at Iron Ore Reserve. Even though it was snowing and very windy during our visit, the house was warm, cozy, and comfortable, making it a perfect place to hunker down. The home was clean, well stocked, and had plenty of space for our group. The setting is peaceful and beautiful, and communication with the hosts was excellent. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

    We were very happy with this property. Maybe a bit close to the main road,but it didn’t affect anything we were doing. It has everything you need to make your stay more pleasant.The town’s people were very friendly and I love talking to people about their lives. We stumbled upon an old cemetery to explore, the Mountain View’s were breathtaking, and the historical museum was very interesting. The best was the exploring of the old mine tour. Totally worthwhile to see and experience. Your property was a perfect place to visit all of these wonderful places. Thank you for making it available to travelers like my family.

    Nothing fancy but was clean and worked for what we needed. I loved the old door latches and locks. Will probably be staying here again.

    Great location for exploring the area and nearby recreational opportunities. House was clean with plenty of space for 6 of us. Beautiful stone fireplace wall. There is on-going construction on the grounds to be aware of. Owner is prompt in responding. There was an odor that we'd get a whiff of now and again.
