Weekend Getaway

We had a lovely weekend away and it was stress free staying at Jennifer’s cabin. The cabin was clean, well stocked and a great location to Shawnee National Forest’s many hikes and sights. We enjoyed a fire pit by night and fishing by day at their small lake. Preparing breakfast and dinner was a breeze as all the kitchen necessities were there for use. Thank you for a wonderful weekend, we will be back!

Great weekend of family camping

Hosts were very accommodating and helpful. They helped with firewood, water, supplies, suggestions for local hikes and allowed us to use various water toys on their pond. Although the site was in close proximity to their house, a tree line made it feel private. Short drive to Garden of the Gods for some incredible views and nice hiking.

I can’t recommend this enough!! The property is absolutely beautiful with lots of open space, a gorgeous pond, and the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. We arrived very late (after dark) and Jennifer’s husband was kind enough to not only meet us and take us to our camp site, but helped us start a fire and offered to help us set up our tent. The hosts are incredibly kind and the area feels very safe! 10/10 would come back! Definitely check out Garden of the Gods for hiking!

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The firepit with firewood included was great. The peace of mind of having a comfortable, reserved site so near all the trails we wanted to hike was invaluable. Even with other campers present on the property, we were spaced enough that we couldn't hear them, and could only just see their lights or fire-light. It's been a while since I could see every star in the night sky!
