Amazing stay!!
The best place I have ever stayed. Our host Sam was extremely helpful with letting us know the best spots in town and where to hike. The ground are super clean and well lit. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that wants a relaxing get away everyone in town is super friendly and helpful

A Frame Mineral Spring House
Sam’s property offered a secluded getaway with easy access. Even in the winter months, the cabin stays toasty warm. The deck is an awesome place to prep and cook meals. If you’re looking to use the hot spring in the morning- keep that fire going all night! We were expecting a nice hot soak and hopped into a near ice bath. Overall a good stay- we’ll be back during summer.

A Frame Mineral Spring House
Weekend get away
The layout was nice, the theme and concept were great. Only thing we would suggest is bringing an air mattress. The futon mattress was very uncomfortable on the floor. The hot tub was nice, once you get the hang of keeping it hot. Sam did a great job of welcoming us and he was very attentive.

Perfect little retreat!
This is truly a magical spot! Sam has done an incredible job of highlighting nature with this site. The cabin, while tiny, was very cozy and warm and is thoughtfully built with battery operated lanterns & waterproof color changing speaker that can also go in the hot tub. The sound of the creek lulls you to sleep at night and the propane heater keeps you plenty warm.
I think the only con, which may just be an unavoidable circumstance of design, is that the hot tub never got super hot - maybe 80° at best? I believe it’s filtered constantly with the fresh mineral spring that runs through the property and so by design, it’s hard to keep piping hot. But that didn’t stop us from enjoying it a couple times during our stay!
Town is super close so despite feeling secluded in nature, if you forgot something, it’s super easy to grab. The locals were also very friendly and welcoming. We checked out and highly recommend the Downsville Diner, Danny’s Restaurant, the Schoolhouse Inn, and of course, the Roscoe Beer Company. We happened to visit on the same weekend WinterFest was happening and we had a BLAST!
Last but not least, Sam was an incredible host. He was there for anything we needed without being intrusive at all. Prob one of the best hosts we’ve ever had thru both Hipcamp and AirBNB.
I have already shared the link with several friends who were envious of the photos and videos we shared on social media ◡̈
Great spot!! Will be back for certain!
