There are comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to 10 people, with 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths.

Enjoy the spacious living room, dining area, and well-equipped kitchen. Upstairs, snuggle into the large, cozy sofa and enjoy the 60 tv. Sit by a warm fire in the evening or on one of the decks, just a few feet from a wild river with all-native trout fishing.

There are two large decks overlooking the river. Upstairs, relax on the comfortable outdoor sofa & two chairs. Downstairs, there is a grill, table seating for up to 12 people, and there are two Adirondack chairs for relaxing.

Just off the front lawn and nestled next to the woods, gather around the firepit for a relaxing time with family and friends. Wood-burning fireplace in the living room and gas fireplaces in 2 of the bedrooms. Note: The rushing water sound is soothing, though it can be loud in Summer - If you're a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs.

Locally, you can find 100+ miles of roads for hiking, 4-wheeling, day trips, or wildlife watching. Multiple trailheads. Breathtaking mountain views and scenic drives. Local activities include hiking, bird & wildlife watching, Blue Ribbon all-native trout fishing, numerous back-country guides, raft fishing guides, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, and more.

With a population of approximately 200 people at an elevation of 4852', Nye is a small community where people cherish the land.

    The scenery was beautiful! But was a little concerned about all windows being unlocked and some open the basement door not being able to shut or lock so someone could come up through the basement and into the kitchen since that door knob locked from the basement. Couldn’t use the hot tub.

    The house is unbelievable. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. Completely private on the shores of the Stillwater River. Terrific property!!

    The location is perfect! No people, no fireworks. Serenity on that front. Beautiful property with elegant features and tons of space. Favorite things about the property besides the beautiful location would be the indoor fireplace, the outdoor fire pit with plenty of wood for cookouts and warmth. They had plenty of towels, garbage sacks, soap and toilet paper for our stay. Loved the old fashioned bath tub to relax in after a long day. If I could make a suggestion it would be for a child /pet gate on the deck. That river was running fast and I certainly blocked my pet from access to it. Major disappointment was no hot tub. I booked this trip 7 months in advance and the description, photos and reviews indicated a hot tub. We arrived and it was outside all wrapped up waiting to be installed. That really disappointed me. Sitting on that deck, hearing the river and soaking in a hot tub would have been magical. We booked more space than we needed with lodging, taxes and fees it was 700 a night. A functional hot tub was part of my calculation in the cost and it was not there for us. When we arrived I found some trash in the bathroom garbage and the kitchen garbage along with an abandoned toilet paper roll in the corner of the bathroom. It was off putting to say the least, I wondered how throughly the property had been cleaned before we arrived. I spent some time cleaning before we settled in and I definitely cleaned before we departed doing the dishes, taking out garbage, etc.

    This is the perfect place to spend a peaceful time surrounded by nature. The river right out the back was just beautiful. The trees all around were stunning. The cabin itself was very clean, well maintained, well stocked, comfortable, and homey. We especially loved the outside porch spaces. What a wonderful place all around!

    This home and property will remain in my heart forever. Everything was as described and close to perfect. We loved the river and enjoyed sitting on the beautiful deck enjoying it plus the glider down by the water was so wonderful. This stay was very relaxing and peaceful. Definitely 5 stars!
