Incredible stay, even better host

Rod’s place is truly an incredible place to stay. The number of stars is unbelievable, breakfast is a hoot, and the shower is AMAZING under the stars. The sleeping bags were excellent, and Rod’s suggestions for our explorations during the day were life-altering. You can tell Rod cares about his camp and those camping. after a few days, I left feeling as though I’d known him for years. He accommodated for me when I mentioned I was vegetarian, and has the most excellent honey. He has an excellent sense of humor, and I truly believe breakfast with Rod was one of our favorite parts of the roadtrip as a whole.

Japanese Cabin

Always a peaceful and restorative stay! The quiet can’t be beat. Cabin has all you need, and Rod is an excellent host and fun to talk to but also respectful of your privacy. I come here for solitude and to recharge. Never disappoints.

Big Quiet Tent Camping

Rod was a great host. He went out of his way to walk down the hill to our camp site to greet and make us feel welcome. In the morning he was back to make pancakes and sausage for breakfast. People talk about southern hospitality, but they can only aspire to be as friendly and gracious as Rod was to us. The sunset was amazing. The birds chattered as they settled in the tall grass. Cattle called out a last goodnight. It was a quiet night other than the gentle rush of water over rocks in the nearby stream. Darkness came quickly with a clear sky filled with stars. It was everything my daughter and I could have hoped for in a camp site. I wish we could have stayed for more than one night.

Thank you!

Rod first and for most was an amazing host, very friendly and helpful. His camp was quiet and cute as well as very comfy. He and his camp were more than accommodating and I would recommend this place 1,000 times over!
