    Staying on Robin’s property felt like a dream. Private, beautiful, and serene. The loft is cozy, clean and filled with so many things to do (games, books, puzzles, etc). We enjoyed biking to the Cape May Zoo (private bike path behind the house), exploring the property (there’s SO MUCH to see) and relaxing. It was a rejuvenating trip, and we can’t wait to come back when it’s warmer. Even in the off-season, there is so much to do!

    Me and my husband stayed here for our wedding anniversary and it was magical. We both love water activities and hiking and this place but both of those together in the most perfect way. The place is actually bigger than it looks in person which was such a nice surprise and Robin was so accommodating and sweet. We're already thinking of when we’re going to come back :) there was also so much beautiful wild life. The whole experience was perfect! We also spent the nights going into cape May for dinner and late night walks around the lake.

    Robin's property was out of a dream! You could feel the peace and comfort as soon as you got there. The loft was super clean and cozy and had everything you could possibly need from a hot shower to books, movies and games. There were so many amenities and perks outside including walking trails, a bike path, an outdoor shower & more! It was a little chilly and rainy while we were there otherwise we would have utilized the paddle boards and kayaks that are INCLUDED in your stay. This is more than a HipCamp .. it is a little corner of your own personal paradise. A stay here is something you would not regret and something you need to add to your HipCamp wishlist. Robin has truly thought of everything! I will most definitely be returning.
