Fun Stay for 2 nights

This was a cute little place to stay in a remote wooded location. It was a little small for 4 adults but would be perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids. It has 2 bunks, Queen on the bottom and double on top. It has a nice fire pit for roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. There was plenty of firewood and starter for two nights. The kitchen had essential items to eat and cook. Beds were comfortable and air conditioner worked well.

By far one of the best Glamping experiences Iā€™ve had. My children had so much fun and our Family dog enjoyed it even more. Very comfortable and cozy at the same time and best part the A/C was amazing after enjoying the hot weather. Will definitely be coming back.

They are postcard sized, so what they advertise is what you get, which was perfect for me. I took a cabin just for a couple of days alone time with my puppers šŸ¶I could not have found a better place, and I will definitely come back. I do wish they had a mini microwave in the cabins, and I would suggest bringing an extension cord, because I could not find an outlet near the beds to charge my phone. As I travel with an extension cord, it was not a problem. Enjoy.

Tranquility

My experience was amazing. Very quiet and serene. I was able to be in alignment w/ living a healthy, wealthy, abundance life. This getaway won't disappoint. My only advice will be to give yourself time to enjoy lounging by the fire pit. All fires have to be extinguished by 10pm.

Well worth it

My stay was amazing! I was kind of skeptical at first because itā€™s out in the middle of nowhere and i didnā€™t check in until after 8. But once i arrived, everything was perfect. It was peaceful and well worth the drive. Also, i appreciated the fast response when needed from them. Iā€™ll definitely be returning.

Small but just right

It was a great time. I was hoping to see some birds while there and it delivered. The cabin was really nice and the peace and quiet was what we needed. The privacy was a plus.
