Overall this is a beautiful place and the cabins are really cool, outdoor kitchen was very convenient. However for the cost I was pretty disappointed in the facilities, shared porta potties, I would have preferred an outhouse next to the cabin. I also had a very cold shower in the morning because they said it was solar operated. After the shower I walked around it and saw it had a propane heater with no instructions, which I would have found helpful especially just because it would have indicated there was a heater. My fire pit also faced another cabin instead of the lake like many others.

Unique and Beautiful spot

Note: There is little to no cell service at Porters Peak, so it may not be ideal for those who need to work remotely. That said, Porters Peak is an adorable and unique getaway that exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail in the chalet was impeccable, making the stay truly memorable. Initially, I was concerned about it being too hot to sleep, but the chalet cooled down nicely at night, and the magnetic screen door was a fantastic addition. On our first night, we slept with the door open, enjoying the quiet and peaceful surroundings. The second night offered a breathtaking view of the full moon and stars, adding a magical touch to our stay. Although the cabins were a bit closer together than I had anticipated, the clever use of rocks and foliage provided a sense of privacy. The proximity to the lake was another highlight; it was just a 30-second walk from our chalet, which our dogs absolutely loved. Overall, Porters Peak is a charming retreat that I would highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and reconnect with nature.

We loved the chalet and the privacy of the location. We really loved the shower. Only thing is that there is only one shower for the whole location. There are a lot of port a potties located around the camp, but they did not look like they were emptied frequently. It looks like they have big plans for the future and we look to visiting where more of their facilities are available.

Lakeside Lookout

Relaxing Retreat

A perfect little getaway! We really enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to returning and trying out one of the other types of accommodation on the property. We had a perfect view of the meteor shower which was a bonus. The chalet has everything you’d need. We were able to truly unplug and relax which was our goal.

The chalet was clean and well appointed for our needs. We loved it there! It was very quiet and private and enjoyed the lake as well. Definitely going back!
