While the log structure was sound, the cabin needed some major renovations to be liveable\. We undertook renovations, lived in it for 6 months and then moved into a yurt on a more accessible section of our property\. We now run the cabin as a short term rental, have another small rental next to our house and we are using the yurt for gatherings, retreats and yoga classes\!

The trails were exceptionally well mapped, and just gorgeous. \nWe happened to be there during a concert event, and we were welcomed to join - that was such an unexpected bonus! Local craft beer and wood fired pizza too! Just a wonderful few days. \n\nThe outhouse was fabulous, a great design, with no/minimal odours. The floor seems to be sagging a little bit, so beware! \n\nWe would love to come and camp here again, we absolutely loved Salmo.

Our lot was large and we had everything we needed. I especially like their policy on packing the food out, keeping the property free of garbage and less animal attraction to your site. Salmo is minutes away to discard garbage and can easily pick up more ice. The ground is close to rivers and the US border. We enjoyed our nature home away from home. Our hosts are super lovely and accommodating and quick with response if you had any inquiries or needed anything.
