Great snowy stay!

Waterfall tent/mineral spring tub

The site was great! There a are few stores on the property, but you still feel secluded. The waterfall was all frozen over for our trip and looked amazing. You could still hear the water flowing under the ice and it created some nice background noise. The outhouses were very clean and only 50 or so feet away. Some of the pics on Hipcamp show the old bell tent with a wood stove, but that's been updated with a cabin tent and propane heater, which kept things plenty warm. There's also a 2 burner propane cooking stove. All in all an excellent experience.

Loved it! Sam was very attentive when we arrived and answered all my questions. We stayed during a snow storm and we were very warm with the heating inside the RV. All the basics you need are there like cups, plates, paper towels, even a TV with Netflix. It was great. We’ll be back!

A Perfect New Year’s Getaway

Waterfall tent/mineral spring tub

My husband and I decided to start the new year by escaping the hustle and bustle of city life, and our glamping experience was absolutely perfect. The setting was serene and beautiful—exactly what we needed to unwind and reconnect. We fell asleep each night to the soothing sound of a nearby waterfall, which was so calming and peaceful. We had a short but pleasant encounter with our host, Sam, who seemed like a very chill and laid-back person. He was communicative and responsive whenever we reached out, ensuring we had everything we needed for a smooth and enjoyable stay. The tent itself was cozy and comfortable, equipped with a propane heater that kept us warm despite the chilly air outside. We spent our evenings sitting by the fire, enjoying each other's company and stargazing under the clear night sky—an unforgettable experience. Everything about the trip was wonderful: the peaceful surroundings, the gorgeous nature, and the chance to simply relax. It was the perfect start to the new year, and we can’t wait to return for another peaceful escape. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway in nature with just the right touch of comfort!
