A third dish is installed and The Rankin officially has wi-fi! The snowball “bush” and peonies burst into bloom earlier this month. The cooler temps are keeping everything green. Bob won’t have to install air-conditioners in the cabins for another week.
Even bigger news is that we’ve got a 4th generation learning the biz this summer! Niece Jenny, great-granddaughter of D.K.Rankin, is keeping the grounds beautiful, getting some touch-up painting done and greeting guests with genuine hospitality, Texas style! Grandad was born in Virginia, and I still remember his gentle, southern drawl. As her picture shows, when Jenny gets her chores done, she hits the river! We’ve enjoyed some pretty tasty trout lately!
Daffodils and tulips have faded away and columbine, snapdragons and pansies are on center stage in the back lawn flower bed now. New lawn furniture, along with the fire pit and grills are ready for you! Give us a call (208) 652-3570 and let Bob or Jenny know when you’ll be coming! We’ll have the accommodations you need, awesome grounds to enjoy, embers in a fire-pit to roast a marshmallow over and perhaps a fish-story or two from Jenny!
Travel Safely!
