Our small place is a forested Tree house with a spot for a small camper, plenty of tent space, has a private drive, camp style privacy toilet, waterfront access (185 steps to the water front and small beach) and sleeps 3. Our special place is only 2 miles to the Dragon Trail which is a well known biking and hiking trail, the trail is about 50 miles around our beautiful lake and is a very stunning adventure! We are about 15 minutes away from a downtown that has bars, playgrounds, restaurants, and grocery stores. Less than 5 minutes away you can rent kayaks, drift boats, and tubes for an exciting river adventure. Here are links to your next adventure: https://www.thedragon.us/ https://newaygocountyexploring.com/ There is a great organic, hippy vibe breakfast spot nearby called Hit the Road Joes. They also have wood fired pizzas on Saturday evenings. Another good, old school breakfast spot is Diner between the Dams. The Pine Cone has a great ice cream selection and large menu of concession type food: hot dogs, chicken nuggets, fries, nachos, etc. The Driftwood bar and restaurant on our lake (Croton Pond) has live music on the Saturdays and Sundays. The Trading Post has subs and pizza. They do have some limited delivery times to our spot.Our small place is a forested Tree house with a spot for a small camper, plenty of tent space, has a private drive, camp style privacy toilet, waterfront access (185 steps to the water front and small beach) and sleeps 3.

The Dragon Outpost
Treehouse
We enjoyed the unique experience of the Dragon Outpost! I really loved the large window overlooking the surrounding trees- it felt very magical! There were plenty of cute, thoughtful touches such as a string of lights and a welcome basket. Our husky mix adored being able to sniff and run around outside. We experienced a bit of rain upon arrival, and the hosts were great! They were welcoming, answered questions, and had our comfort in mind. At the same time, we had more than enough privacy. I think this treehouse would be great for a solo traveler wanting to unwind, write or just experience some solitude in a forest-like setting. The bed itself was comfortable, but it is a true loft and is close to the ceiling. Overall, cute space and fantastic hosts!

We had such a nice stay at the Dragon Outpost--a truly unique camping experience. Our hosts thought of every little detail to make life easier for us while still letting us enjoy a secluded camping weekend. We're already planning our next visit!

Magical treehouse
We had a wonderful time in the treehouse, even better in person, a quiet magical little place. Our German shepherd had a good time hanging out on the little deck area. Lots of cool little touches and lights. The fans were appreciated and helped a lot. We would love to stay again. Things to note: if you’re not familiar with the area, would be easier to find in daylight but not a deterrent. We have a 4x4 so it wasn’t an issue but if it were days after heavy rain, a low clearance car possibly would get stuck in parts of the road.

Treehouse
The treehouse was everything as described. Was a perfect place for us to have our pets and be away from weather while being close to the river for adventures. Mike was very helpful and available for anything needed. We would stay here again if we were in the area.

Tree house
The little tree house was cute, and well built. It was nice and cool in there with the fans going and they supplied plenty of lighting. The toilet was private and on the balcony of the tree house so very easy to access throughout the night. They left a cute welcome gift and had a cute coffee setup for moring time. I loved that it was pet friendly as well. When we arrived around 3pm the next store neighbor was mowing for a couple of hours and we were unsure where the water front was Amy did respond and let me know it was in her back yard right across the street we did check that out the view was pretty Mike and Amy's house is about 300 feet from the tree house right across the street and there was neighbors on both side of them. The neighbors were up until almost 2am yelling at kids, kids yelling very loudly, working on there car muffler and reving the engine, Played classic rock and rap super loud and you could here all that in the tree house. It is not private at all. My son though loved staying in the tree house he though it was neat.

We loved our time at this adorable treehouse! The storm raged outside but we were dry and cozy inside. It was a bit tricky to find in the dark and rain but with it as it was an incredible launch spot for riding on the dragon the next day. Nice homey touches throughout the outpost
