Beneath The Stars Tenting Escape
Misleading Amenities
Though the host is very welcoming the ad is very deceptive. The photos used are old, evidenced by the missing bench around the tree when you get to the site. Also evidenced by the missing fire pit on the lower grass level.
The site is not by the water as it appears to be. The "beach" you can access is right next to the main road exposed to all the residents around the lake so you're "bathing" with an audience.
There are no animals at the site just a farm nearby that you likely need to pay to visit.
There are no signs telling you where to set up your tent and there is no path with woodchips as shown in photo.
Your composting toilet is not a dug hole, you just deficate on the ground. Smh.
You have to bring your own drinkable water as harvesting from lake is impractical. There is only access from the main road.
This host would benefit from a more honest description of the site. There is a market for every kind of site but no market for dishonesty.
An honest ad would turn all bad reviews into good ones.

Don't think it should be a low rating...hostess was great...appreciate the firewood...nice spot, private. Little manovering to obtain a flat spot. The cover pic is a bit irrelevant really. Beautiful area and nice folks passing by occasionally!

Private but Steep
The property was very private with little traffic on the road. The site was well maintained and it was a nice touch to have a little path leading to the outhouse. The site however is on an incline with very little areas that are flat. It was difficult to level an older camper and would be very hard to find a level spot for tenting.
The welcome package was a nice treat!

My friends and I had a good experience overall. Although we were a bit mislead on how much of an incline the site was. Majority of us had to sleep on an incline which made it difficult. The lake and town was close by which we liked a lot. We had a good time overall

Rustic Cozy Cabin
Memorable Family Getaway
We spent three nights at this property. We rented a house but mostly slept in tents. This property accommodated three tents, although finding flat spots was a bit challenging. However, we managed to set up all three tents. We also had a small teardrop trailer and three SUV cars, all of which fit well on the property.
The house is equipped with a small hotel-sized fridge, cooktop, coffeemaker, microwave, and other essentials. It gets a little hot during the day, but it is charming. The outhouse is really old, but it was pleasantly surprising to find it equipped with a toilet seat, four rolls of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, sanitizer spray, and air freshener.
Our group of eleven family members fully enjoyed our stay. Vanessa provided a lot of information about local attractions and beach locations. This trip was definitely memorable.
We visited Whitewater, Sculpture Forest, Scenic Minden Lookout, and all three beaches. The best beach, in our opinion, was the closest one, with its beautiful lake, sandy but tiny shore, and gradual access, which made for an excellent experience. Although both Whitewater and the closest beach were within walking distance, it was better to drive since the walk is literally on the road. Overall, we had a fantastic time!

Very Awesome Private Spot!! Close to going swimming, just five minutes up the road, hiking, canoeing, kakaying. Very hilly but a few level spots. Lots of trees for shade. Great big firepit!
