IMG_1443xIt has been a wonderful summer for us here at The Rankin!   Our cozy cabins were booked solid for most of the summer!  We love to share these special circa 1936 cottages my grandfather built.  Quilts, old pictures along wtih a few pieces of original furniture make them special places to relax on your journey.

IMG_1606Our current “labor of love” is the exterior restoration of these special cabins. Replacing wood panels, thresholds and caulking is a big part of the process as well.

IMG_1565Restoration work includes installing cedar panels along the bottom edges of the 2 oldest cabins we use for linens and storage.  The weather is holding so the stucco cabins are getting new paint as well.  We’re hoping to get them up and ready to offer guest lodging next summer. Clawfoot bathtubs will be a challenge to work around!

We are blessed with wonderful online reviews.  And Robert and I do appreciate the reviews that tell us how we can make your stay more comfortable.  We want you to know that the low water pressure will be improved  by installing new pressure valves on our pump this fall.  And our bedding inventory will make sure to replace all “flat pillows”.

We appreciated the suggestion of hanging an extra mirror in each cabin from the group of ladies who didn’t mind sharing the single bathroom, but just needed another mirror for makeup and hair-doing.  THANK YOU!

We’re welcoming hunters, fisherman and a few travelers to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks since they have reopened for a few more weeks.  Do take time to travel through the beautiful Ashton country and enjoy the fall colors!  Give us a call (208) 652-3570 and we’ll have a warm room or cabin ready for you!  We’ll be open a few more weeks before it’s time to hibernate!  Travel Safely, and Enjoy the Journey!
