 With
18 acres of naturally wooded private land bordering
on the Encampment River, Spirit West is a virtual wildlife
preserve. From grazing along the driveway to begging
for food on the porch, the mule deer seem to be everywhere!
Accustomed to seeing visitors regularly, these beautiful
animals are quite tame; some are hand-fed and even allow
guests to pet them.
|
 Red
fox also frequent the area. In fact, Lynn had a pet fox
named "Kit-Kit" that she played with frequently.
Although one day "Prince Charming" came along
and Kit-Kit disappeared, other red fox still visit the
lodge — to the delight of the guests.
|
 Raccoons
and porcupine are also among the welcome callers, appearing
every evening to dine on the deck from whatever Lynn might
serve them.
|
It's a rare but seemingly
natural mix of people and wildlife who share Spirit
West, making a stay here all the more fun and memorable.
There's no denying that this is a most unique B&B
— hosting not only people but animals as well!
Lynn hand-feeds a herd of tame
deer, which are a constant delight
at Spirit West.
