Peaceful location, the cabin is awesome. 2 bedrooms, full kitchen, AC, porch. Close to trails and dog friendly. No cell service or WiFi which was exactly what we needed! Our pup loved the stay as well. Thank you Jenny!

Great spot
Beautiful property, hosts are great, super friendly wolfhounds and a dog named bill. Perfect view of the stars at night. Had a great time in the lake, a lot of attractions nearby. They had wood waiting for us at our camp site which was much appreciated. Will be back!

Paradise!
Jennifer and John have a beautiful and tranquil private property. It was so peaceful, I wish I could stay forever! They are the best hosts, checking to make sure we had everything we needed, providing us with a fire pit, fire wood, and delicious veggies from their garden. They offered us use of their kayak to use in their lake but we ran out of time. We will definitely be back when we pass through the area again. I highly recommend you choose this location if you are planning a trip to Garden of the Gods, it’s better than any campground I’ve ever been to and it’s only a 10 minute drive.

I loved tent camping on Jennifer’s land. Her & her husband take such good care of their land. Beautiful and clean little lake I spent time swimming and fishing in. Amazing views from the campsite. Smack dab in the middle of some of the coolest parts of Shawnee National forest. They were so kind- definitely my favorite place I have camped at so far through Hipcamp !

Best ever :)
The kindest folks with sweet dogs and cows! Gave us the best recommendations and were such kind and gracious hosts! Offered us fishing gear and boats and such for their pond, too. Literally the best. 10/10 recommend.
