We could not stay there!

It would be a good location for a horror movie.

Will Stay Again

The Mission is clean, comfortable, affordable and very interesting. The other guests were fun to engage with and Kory couldn’t be easier to work with. We needed a dog friendly place to stay and this place was just as welcoming to our dog as to us. We didn’t get a chance to explore all the Mission has to offer but we plan to be back to the area and we will certainly stay again.

Not just a room for the night

This place was a whole experience. Korey the care taker was friendly, responsive and quick. He was very knowledgeable. We also had a communal kitchen and den where we found some games to play. The only negative was there were rowdy people staying there and the place echoes

A little disappointed

Due to the weather there really wasn't much to do outside. The add stated there was wi-fi so we figured we would watch some movies and cuddle for the weekend. The wi-fi did not work. The care taker said he would look into it but never did. The place was extremely cold which was not mentioned. We decided to leave early. Would not go back

Great communication, poor cleanliness

Kory was incredibly responsive, email, text, calls, doesn't matter. Really exceptional host. My wife, son and I stayed here in July for two nights. It's a dorm type environment with a shared kitchen, private baths. It was perfect for our needs. For those traveling with young kids, here is some feedback. Showers are bad, I took 2 (of 3) cold showers. My kiddo wouldn't A lot of mouse fecal matter in kitchen, like a ton. I told Kory in the morning, it was not cleaned when I got home in the evening. It was cleaned the next day. Kory - I love sharing stuff like mustard and salt with the next guest, but please clean out the fridge and cupboard more judiciously, they are nasty. Really loud, it's an old dormitory with poor insulation. Also really poor curtains, we got up very early as a result. Lots of fun things to explore on the property and look around, but for my family something we would have enjoyed more as a couple traveling vs traveling with a young kid.

!!! NOT AS ADVERTISED!!!

First things first the property is not well maintained we had to hit a tree limb with our car to get up the driveway. The room didn’t have sheets on the bed when we arrived and the bathroom had not been cleaned… the toilet hadn’t been flushed and there was a huge hair clump in the shower drain. Advertised as having air conditioning I would say BARELY! The room was stifling thanks to the black out curtain and no window unit. We asked for a room key to lock the door when we left and half a hour after asking the host was outside working on a SUV and set off the car alarm…. We never received a key. I did not feel safe there. “This isn’t the Taj Mahal” I get it, but basic cleanliness and safety of your guests lives and possessions IS NOT ASKING MUCH. We gathered our things and high tailed it out of there before dark.

Group stay at the Mission

This property suited the needs of our group of 5 adults. Check-in and communication with the host was satisfactory. The property certainly has unique characteristics. Lots of history.

Hidden treasure

This is such a cool and unique place I am grateful I found it. It's in a gorgeous location with hiking right across the street that leads to beautiful hemlock lake. The building is full of character and history. The room I stayed in was airy and spacious and clean and the private bathroom was perfectly good with everything I need. It was nice to sit in the communal kitchen and chat with friendly people who stay there. Korey is very nice and helpful. His welcome email has all the pertinent information so make sure to read it all. it's slightly "rustic" I guess as in it's not a bed and breakfast, but I find it perfectly comfortable, and what it lacks in frills or luxury it more than makes up for in a sense of calm, wonder, mystery, and community. There may be some gap with VRBO booking because I didn't receive the welcome email ahead of the trip but I got there early and ran into him so was all set from that. So I would just recommend getting in touch with Korey before the trip if you didn't receive an email.

Fascinating buildings & history

We enjoyed the spacious rooms, speculated about the history of the buildings and rooms, and did not have time to explore more. The stairs were a challenge with luggage, but my physically adept sister was able to handle them easily. Thank you to Korey for his hospitality.

Very Disappointing

I am 86 years old with disability. We waited a full 30 minutes after the 4 PM check-in. for anyone to let us in..Then I got a 3rd floor room, without a key, and no light in the bedroom. I called for assistance; was promised help; received none!

It’s a beautiful place from the outside…

It is truly a beautiful place, but it needs a lot of work. Don’t expect a quaint little inn. Accommodations are very rustic.. Many spaces are communal. Views from the roof are great and great for star gazing at night… overall our stay was just okay….

Mission Uncertain

From the pictures on the site, I knew we were not booking a swanky place. I spoke with the host before booking to confirm some details and he was very kind and helpful. Upon arrival the exterior is impressive. Then you enter the space. The smell took me back to my dusty mildewed elementary school library, but not in a good way. There was actual dust and cobwebs everywhere. The room we stayed in was a nice size and had it’s own bathroom. We shared a large kitchen with another very nice family. Unfortunately, the kitchen was quite unclean. We had to wash the dishes before using them because there was dust and dead bugs. There were mouse droppings in some of the bottom cabinets (I do understand that it is an old building and most likely does have mice, I just don’t want to see their traces). In our room, the beds were soft and blankets were also soft. Our room did not have air conditioning as advertised. I also ran the hot water for about 10 minutes before it got hot and then it only lasted about 10 minutes before it was cold again. Again, we knew we were not booking a swanky place, but hot water for showers and hand washing is very important. The Grottos that I was so excited about exploring were closed - enter at your own risk because they are deemed unsafe. Very disappointing. Finally, the host has young children who spend much of there time in the room on the floor I stayed on. They are at the age where they scream and cry A LOT (like until after 10pm). They are cute and it’s not their fault. While I would not stay here again with my whole family, I would, probably, if it was just me and my husband. Rustic is not for everyone. They seem to have a greater Mission and I wish them well in their work.
