7 nights at Drinkers Of The Wind Farm

Beautiful site that sits in the back of a big open field. We loved how private and spacious it felt and our dog loved running around in the field. Super clean and well kept. There is a small airport close by and the planes can be loud, but it was infrequent enough and the space was so peaceful otherwise that it didn't bother us.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The area was peaceful and felt private. We saw plenty of wildlife including deer, fox, and elk. Brooke was very helpful and even let us know when we could spot elk in her field. The river was a favorite for both our dog and my husband who caught lots of fish. The site fit our 40' fifth wheel with no problems. A great spot that I would definitely come back to.

We loved staying on Brooke’s land. It was private felt like we had the place to ourselves. Close to the river. Our dog was in 7th heaven with all the space he wanted to run around and play. Would stay here again!
