Best Stay Ever
I don't think I could rate The Artful Lodger high enough--it is heaven on earth. And Ken is an amazing host!
We stayed here two nights while we got married nearby, and also had our officiant, maid of honor and my brother stay in the other cabin. Everyone was 100% in love with this place and never wanted to leave!
So, first of all, the grounds. It is, as I said, heaven on earth. A creek runs through the property. The hot tub and cold plunge are situated above it, as is an amazing building with showers and a sauna. The cabin for two is spacious and beautiful and the bed feels like sleeping on a cloud. The barn building sleeps quite a few people. The upstairs has gorgeous balconies and big windows and a beautiful little bathroom--our friends loved staying there. The downstairs has beds and couches--a perfect hangout area and one we also used for staging wedding things. Then there are the beautiful woodland paths leading to each place--lanterns are lit along them every night. It feels magical! And everything is landscaped so beautifully. You really just have to see it for yourself to believe it!
Next, breakfast. Ken had a gorgeous breakfast waiting for us both mornings and we were allowed to eat in his own cabin! And cooking for our team of people was no small feat either. Three were carnivores, I am a vegetarian and my brother is vegan. There was food for everyone and then some! Ken had even specially prepared vegan food for my brother. I can not tell you what that meant to both of us. It was just so kind and considerate of him to accommodate that way. And everything was gourmet-caliber delicious! The carnivores raved about the bacon and home made sausage, I loved the egg dishes and pastries, and my brother just loved the special carrot salad Ken had prepared for him, along with the many other things he could eat. It was just an all around pleasure.
We also loved sitting around the table listening to Ken's stories. He has led the most interesting life! If you have the time, do talk with him. He's a fascinating person, and a kind one. And he was born in Montana and raised partially in Yellowstone by his father who was a park ranger! We loved his stories about that, and his travels, but most of all we loved his stories about the wildlife on his property. Such funny anecdotes!
The Artful Lodger is worth every penny and then some. I can not recommend staying here highly enough, it's just simply wonderful and relaxing and other-worldly. If I won the lottery I'd rent out a cabin there for the rest of my life! Thanks for the amazing time, Ken. I think one of the highlights of our somewhat disastrous wedding was actually coming back to Artful Lodger and just sitting in the hot tub with our friends chatting. It was the perfect way to end a chaotic day. Memories to last a lifetime! A million thanks from our entire party!
