Spent Christmas Day and Boxing Day here with my dog. It was such a nice, peaceful spot! I can’t wait to go back when there’s not an ice storm happening. But absolutely no complaints about the spot!

Great little spot, small, cabin. Great for two people. There is a 2nd level Bunky but it might be a little tight to sleep in. Recommend for two people Max. Very rustic, yet well built cabin. Wood burning stove was easy to use. Note pit toilet ia open to elements. Quiet, location, sweet little forest. Lots of great birds to see including woodpeckers in the surrounding forest.
Went in November for a micro sabbatical would be nice to go back in the summer. Host very attentive, and considerate. Highly recommend.

Second time at this adorable cabin. Very well stocked but also minimalistic. Great place to extend the camping season if you don't have a hot tent. As always really enjoyed the wood stove and the quiet and calm of the open field. Really melancholic sitting by the fire and watching the geese migration at sunset

1 night at Happy Buddha Bell Tent
We had an awesome night in the bell tent! It was one of the most secluded sites we've ever stayed at. The tent is set back very far on the property, which made it feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. The weaving hiking trails were a great walk in the morning, and the viewpoints along the way were incredible. We'd definitely recommend staying and would love to come back!

I’ve have come to Cardinals Nest twice and both times I have loved it. The cabin is beautiful and spacious, and hosts have all basic amenities you need in it. They also have started adding water jugs to the cabin which was super helpful. There is a nice stream for puppers to play in and a ton of room to roam/ hike. Cabins are spread out so you don’t feel cramped. Very highly suggest !

Absolutely breathtaking.
This site is extremely private, it has many trails in which you can’t really get lost in as they all loop back into one another.
The tent is extremely spacious and cozy and has just about everything you need.
The only thing I would recommend is to purchase extra wood in advance or even whilst there as the kindling doesn’t last long.

We had a great night at the cabin!
We were longing for the camp fire in the evening, so we enjoyed the stars while roasting marshmallows. The cabin was very cozy with the wood stove. Scott had the place stocked with lots of dry wood for both the campfire and stove.
We both slept well on the fold down futon. The mattress was very comfortable.
We played cards, games and just unplugged from the world.
The cabin was a short 1.5 hrs from home and was a great get away from the city for a night. We look forward to our next visit.

We stayed in the safari tent November 16th. Despite the colder weather, the tent was cozy and comfortable with the help of the wood stove. Aiden provides wood for your stay, along with potable water and pretty much everything else that you need. Bring your beverages and food and unwind. Everything is curated with thought in mind, right down to the rechargeable
lights in the outhouse automatically turning on when the door opens. The bed was unbelievably comfy! We will be back.
