Stay and play. It's not just a house!!

Since 1940, Grandma's house has been a place of fun and rejuvenation. It was fondly nicknamed "The Halfway House" because it is a delightful place to get lost! Located just 9 miles south of Conconully, WA it has been a favorite stop to friends and family on their way to outdoor adventure. The Conconully area is known for it's central access to thousands of acres of state and federal land. It is an oasis of wide open spaces for every kind of outdoor enthusiast. Rich in the tradition of cattle ranching, Conconully is still home to working families, like ours. Grandma's house sits in the middle of our farm/ranch operation and on any given day you will witness the caretaking of animals and stewardship of the land.

The house has a light, happy atmosphere and all of the comforts of home. Approximately 1500 square feet, the house has three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a nice washer and dryer set, a spacious kitchen with everything you need to create awesome meals and a big open dining room and living room. The majority of the house is covered with hardwood floors with exception to the two back bedrooms which are carpet. The décor is rustic western and includes many family heirlooms like cowhide rugs and animal furs as well as pictures and memorabilia from our cattle ranch. Hairdryers, soaps, trash bags and coffee are provided.

The Halfway House sits in the middle of fields and meadows. Guests will enjoy wildlife year round as the ranch is home to thousand of game birds, hawks, eagles, herons, geese, muledeer, whitetail deer, coyotes, bobcats and an occasional black bear. Nearby lakes are home to Blue Gill, Crappie, Bass, Trout and Kokanee. The Okanogan and Columbia Rivers host Steelhead and Salmon fishing opportunities just a short drive from the house. The Loup Loup Ski Hill is just a short 40 minute drive.

There is wifi access and a 65 inch Samsung Smart UHD TV as well as a desk space, but we encourage you to unplug and go outside!!! The house has air conditioning and central heat as well as a toasty propane fireplace to warm you up after a day in the fresh cool air. The well water is clean and clear - no need to pack bottled water.

NO PETS!
NO SMOKING OR VAPING INDOORS!
NO DRUGS!

We look forward to your stay and will make every effort to keep you comfortable and happy.

Love The Ranch Life
This place is exactly as described. Old farm house converted into a guest house/vrbo with modern add ons. Family history is hanging on the walls which we really enjoyed. As stated by others, this is a working cattle ranch so don't go if you don't care for that kind of surroundings. Mooing cows, tractors and occasional coyotes yapping and howling. We loved it, great place.
