We tent camped for the weekend. The view was absolutely amazing. The hosts were very kind, helpful, and responsive. While we there we hiked crabtree falls (30 min away) and visited a local brewery twice Blue Mountain Barrel House. (less than 5 away) Overall, great stay and you cannot beat the scenic view.

Very gracious host! Attentive and quick to respond! The camping area is a very well manicure field with plenty of room so you have plenty of privacy even with other campers! There is no light pollution making star gazing here perfect! We had several conversations with the owners which made our stay feel more like talking to family than strangers! We would definitely stay here again!
