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.

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.

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.

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.

Interesting but not clean.
The location is really beautiful but it felt like just a small step up from camping. The room was not very clean, the sheets smelled like body odor and a man's deodorant and we spent the first night wishing we would have brought our own sheets, blankets, and towels. The shared kitchen also had an unsanitary feel to it so we aborted our plan to use it for breakfast every morning. And on the last morning as we packed up we found some else's dirty socks under the nightstand.

Over promised, under delivered
In all my years of using Vrbo and Air B&B, I’ve never run across a property so woefully kept. I understood this was not going to be a luxury stay, but this was truly terrible. First, a few days before we arrived a welcome email stated wi-if was excellent. In reality, it cut out every 10 minutes. This was also the first time we were told that there were no locks on the room doors, but he had a few that he could give us a lock for. The welcome email also mentioned some wonderful neighbors to the property, but they did not welcome guests on their property and for us to observe do not trespass signs. Upon check-on when I mentioned it in jest, Korey told us we could possibly be shot if found on their land. This was as disarming as the brief tour of the parapet roof on our floor when we were told a seminarian in the 60s jumped after being harassed by fellow students. The fact that the kids walked away from a 70ft+ drop wasn’t really that reassuring. We were on the 3rd floor, and were told ahead of time, so the 3 1/2 flights of stairs were not a surprise, but challenging. The common rooms-kitchen and tv/entertainment rooms- were very nice and pleasant. Our room, however, was not. This was like a very bad hostel. Yes, it was a former dorm room, but my bed had a different bottom sheet, top sheet, and pillow case on the “pillow” that was about 1 inch high being generous. The other pillow did not have my pillow case. The cap was hastily placed being cut raggedly on one side of the room so it was 1-2 inches away from the wall on that side. Unfortunately, it was also the side where the door to the room opened and would catch on the carpet creating a hazard. The very cute bedside lamp did not have a light bulb in it. Neither did the bathroom medicine cabinet, so the only lights we had were dismal single bulb ceiling lights in the main room and bathroom. The air conditioner was working well, but that was the only outlet that was working. Two other outlets I tried to recharge my electronics were dead. Whether they had shorts or were not hooked up properly I couldn’t tell, but they were not new outlets. The toilet was new and worked fine. The medicine cabinet mentioned above had a mirror above the sink; however, it was hung so far up I could only see the top of my head, so it was useless. The shower was the size of an RV unit and not inviting. The framing for both the bathroom door and the closet door was exposed and unfinished. Not a good experience.

If you know some things going in and choose to stay, you will like it
First, I commend Korey for trying to make use of this amazing property. 1. Check In - Despite knocking, calling, & emailing Korey, no one appeared for over 15 min. The car was in gear to leave when Korey whistled. He was not expecting us. (He told me later that since I booked through VRBO, he didn't get a reminder, so forget we were coming.) He asked us to take a walk while he put in the air conditioner. 2. NOT Handicap Accessible - Uneven ground outside and stairs to get to rooms (no elevators). Even the 1st floor is up 1/2 flight of stairs. 3. Cleanliness & Room - The stairwell smelled like mold. The room did not. There was no toilet paper in BR. Shower was small but clean. The towels were stained (iron water, I hope). There was no TV in the room. 5. Privacy- Kitchen & TV are shared. No instructions for TV. We never figured it out. Food in pantry & refrigerator was marked "do not eat". There was no coffee for guests. A man lived permanently on the floor. We were not initially given a key for our room. When we asked - it was a skeleton key. We never left anything in our room (which meant hauling everything up and down the stairs). 6. Grounds- Trail is nice. Chickens are fun to watch. Lots of gypsy moth caterpillars all over bldg (not Korey's fault). If you want a unique experience and can rough it a little to support someone with gumption - give Korey a hand by staying here. If your minimum expectations are Holiday Inn or Red Roof - don't book here.
