For all of us wanting local culture, adventure, genuine people and a PERFECT cabin to stay in while experiencing this part of the world...This place is it! Yes, I had a 4x4 rental car and gps...so this oasis was easy to find. Yup, I arrived cranky...cuz it was a long drive but ut I was joyfully greated by Julian and then Jim. I had to de-compress for a few hours before I was fully aware of how wonderful a space I was in. After that, I realized, how lucky I was to have landed here: the river is a few moments away (go swimming for sure!): The owner, Jim, is a fascinating, talented, generous man who might offer a splendid easy venture for you. Hopkins is filled with wonderful folk we all could learn from. Thank you Jim and Julian for a very special three nights.
