Local man wants you to experience Island Park in his new vacation rentals

ISLAND PARK - Like many people, Ray Pierce enjoys spending time in Island Park.
The 63-year-old has called it home for 40 years, and as of about two weeks ago, he now owns 17 vacation suites at 3575 Yale Kilgore Road. It’s called Hardrock 50 Rentals. Hardrock comes from the name of his gravel pit near the Hardrock Mine close to the Montana line. And “50” has multiple meanings behind it.
“In my first life, I was a pipefitter working in all 50 states. I want to welcome people from all 50 states to come and stay in my cabins,” Pierce says in a news release. “I eventually want to landscape a rock garden in the shape of the U.S. and have people fill it in with rocks from their state.”
The suites have a breathtaking view of Sawtell Peak, which sits north of the parking lot. The business has a Western look to it, and each room has full-size beds, along with a kitchen, refrigerator, microwave and free WiFi. Take a tour in the video above.

Constructive criticism here. Bring in some big potted plants that take very little water or maintenance. Wine barrels are cheap. Cut them in half.
It would spruce up the place, add some much needed greenery for optics and make the initial approach more inviting.
Hope you recoop your investment as quick as possible and make loads of greenbacks sooner than you hoped. Best of luck!

These are really nice suites for a family, a couple, a group of friends or for a single person. I can see this business doing really well. The owner sounds like an interesting man also. Best Wishes for your future.
