Bundo's Cabin in the Woods

Wonderful Fall stay

Amazing stay! Beautiful cabin. So much private land - you don’t ever see any neighbors and you are truly “away”. We watched movies outdoor on a projector and screen we brought, played games (lots of games in the cabin too), listened to the amazing record collection, played cards, made charcuterie boards, cooked, hiked in the nearby state park (gorgeous waterfall trail), sat in nature and enjoyed the changing leaf colors, and enjoyed the outdoor swing. Our dog was in 7th heaven there. Such a great getaway! Thank you Bundo! We will be back!

Bundo's Cabin in the Woods

Great place to relax

I honestly think we went during the best time of the year. The colors were just breathtaking. We really had a great time unwinding and relaxing. The cabin is small and was perfect for the 2 of us. The cabin was stocked up with mostly everything needed. Although, there were lots of flys for some reason, especially upstairs, but no worries. We relaxed by the fire, roasting marshmallow while looking at the beautiful colors of the leaves, and getting that fresh air, without any loud noises or city distractions. You can't beat that.

a few snafus

We stayed at Bundo's cabin two years two years ago and loved it, and eagerly looked forward to going back. We reserved two days, and came up. However I had the wrong combination for the lock box-a message came to me, but i couldn't find it again two days later.. Was it from the hip camp website? I tried to get a hold of Jon, but he was in transit. We started for home. Jon did text us back with the correct lock box code, but we were too close to home. He offered us our money back, and we accepted. We were saddened... somehow it wasn't clear how to get the information. I am not a digital native, and am as fluent with technology. I am not assigning blame: I need to improve my tech skills, but I think that Hip Camp could consider how to work with seniors. Perhaps the host could have an alternate person to contact when he needs to be in transit. Well, best of luck to all of you. Not sure if we are going to try hip camp again. Perhaps we are not the intended audience.

Bundo's Cabin in the Woods

Perfect late summer weekend

I loved everything about Bundo's cabin in the woods, but especially how secluded it was. I couldn't hear anything but the wind in the trees and the chittering of the squirrels. Yet it's so close to towns and the state park and lots of cool things to see. The cabin has such a cozy vibe too, i even felt pampered. I will definitely be back!

Adorable cabin, clear instructions, & fantastic land. A great little haven away from it all! Our dogs were delighted with the space to run.

Bundo's Cabin in the Woods

Clearly a labor of love.

Staying at Bundo's wasn't what I was expecting. It was better! Staying in the cabin for two nights it was clear that Jon put a lot of time, care, and love into the construction and maintenance of this place. It's immediately evident that he rents out the cabin to share the wonders of the outdoors with people, not just to make a quick dollar, which made the stay feel even more special. Great experience. Would definitely stay again sometime.
