Weekend Trip to BSBC CAMP
The cabin had pretty much everything you needed to have a good time, and the covered gazebo was nice to eat at and play cards. The road noise can be a little loud at times but it’s peaceful at night with the little creek by the camp. It’s very close to some good hiking!

Weekend Trip to BSBC CAMP
I loved staying at this cabin! The small space was warm and cozy, with beautiful spots to hang out outside and have a fire by the little creek. The outdoor shower was great and got very warm, even for how cold it was outside. There is a very cute town not far from the cabin as well - Traveler’s Rest - that was fun to explore. Overall, loved my stay here and would absolutely recommend it :)

Great little cabin for a solo vacation. I felt safe on the property and had no issues with the amenities. I loved the fire pit and there was plenty of firewood on site to keep the campfire going. Very beautiful dark sky -- you are able to see lots of stars and the Milky Way from the property at night.
