The Canvas Cabin

Perfect in Autumn!

We had a fantastic time in Robert's tent! The whole set up was everything we wanted and exactly as featured - plus more! Trails through Cross Village Beach and the Wilderness State Park were so stunning this time of year (October). I would definitely recommend and we might even come back!

Had a wonderful time. The place was described perfectly. So peaceful and relaxing. We couldn’t think of anything better for the weekend it was just what we needed to unplug and enjoy nature. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful Fall Adventure

We rented the Canvas Cabin for a Sister's Weekend. It was so warm, and cozy, and wonderful! Robert and Sherry are awesome hosts! There was firewood stacked waiting for a campfire in the fire pit for us, and the wood stove was loaded in case we were chilly as well. Even with big winds on Saturday night we felt completely safe and secure, sung to sleep by whispering trees and owls and coyote songs. A perfect weekend. I highly recommend Robert and Sherry and their adorable Canvas Cabin.

Fireside Fairytale at Acorn Trail

Robert’s Canvas Cabin on the Acorn Trail was everything you need for a relaxing night in the wilderness. Robert was super accommodating with our late arrival (10pm!) and even had the fire pit built up with wood ready to be lit when we arrived. The four post bed was whimsical while having a comfortably soft(but supportive) mattress. There were books available to thumb through (that Robert also sells in his gift shop, Peninsulas) and an entire table of amenities. There was a Coleman propane lantern, a water cooler filled with ice cold water(with drinking glasses), and an assortment of toiletries including bug spray, wipes, pads & tampons and sunscreen! The Canvas Cabin is secluded down a path, but don’t worry about carrying your stuff, Robert provides an easy to use cart to do the lugging. Flushable portapotty was clean and easy to use and private on the back deck of the platform where the tent is erected. Best of all was checking out the gift shop before we left where we met Robert’s wonderful mother, chatted about the area and even got to pet their French Bulldog Chester who was a whirlwind of puppy energy. 11/10 would stay here again!
