Providence House | "Travel Back to Simple" 1910 Renovated Bunkhouse

2 Bedroom House in Providence, Independence

Step back in time at Gracies Bunkhouse. No wifi but great connection. This 100 year old renovated cabin is heated by a newly installed Mini Split which serves for both heating and cooling. The main source of heat is a Jotul wood stove that has endless amounts of wood at your disposal to keep you warm.
the bunkhouse sits on 2 of a 16 acre parcel atop a very large waterfall The waterfalls make a beautiful soothing backdrop noise as you listen from the back porch or anywhere outside. At the base of the falls in the distance is my other rental that is usually booked year round. It is always nice to know that my guest like their privacy and know not to venture too far down or too far up to the other houses.
you will not find a better place to hang out than on the back porch in a rocking chair or seated at the bar with a cup of coffee and a journal Long range mountain views are best seen with the leaves off the trees but can also be seen from the deck and other parts of the property.
the only guest you will have are the occasional wild turkey, deer, or black bear that likes to show itself every now and then There are apple trees, grape vines, wild cherries and wild raspberries that them plenty of food.
the bunkhouse was purchased in a state of distress at the same time as her sister property healing water falls (the house below the falls). She was built in 1910 and has many additions but was fully renovated in 2020 keeping honor to her heritage of a time more simple. A hot water on demand unit keeps the hot water flowing. Guest will find a fully stocked kitchen with new appliances including a gas stove and refrigerator. Pour over coffee maker and french press are how we do coffee here. You will not find a microwave, toaster, or coffee maker but there is an electric teapot for heating water. No dishwasher either but some of the best times are standing by the enameled double sink reminiscing about grandma doing the same back in her day.
the master bedroom has its own electric wood stove to offer ambiance and warmth and you will not find a better sleeping bed anywhere Open the windows and let the mountain breeze blow through on spring nights as you cozy up under a comforter. A separate bedroom on the opposite side of the house has 2 twins with fairy lights on the ceiling to mimic stars outside.
there is a fire ring with tree stumps for sitting and plenty of wood on hand for burning Nothing compares to nights around a campfire spent telling stories smelling the crisp mountain air.
there is much to be found in going back to basics and giving up things our modern world takes for granted Gracies was loved back to life in every way. You will feel it when you enter. It's like coming home to an old memory. Won't you come and experience her warmth?.

Summary: The listing states "step back in time" and that certainly sets the tone. If you are looking for a place to stay where peace and nature are the main features, look no further. Nice accommodations, plenty of heat sources to help you stay warm, kitchen is fairly well stocked with pots, pans, spices, oils to help make meals with. I personally loved the that there was a new kitchen sponge waiting for me (it's the little things). Back porch is covered with a tin roof. We sat out there for over an hour drinking coffee and watching/listening to the rain. Place feels very private, but it isn't so remote that you feel vulnerable. Major perk was the ability to bring our dogs. Host keeps a dog gate and two large kennels in the laundry room as well as poop bags and a basket of "dog towels". So this is someone who really gets how to improve your stay when traveling with your dog(s). I would stay here again and would tell anyone I know who is looking for a quiet place to get away to stay here as well.
