Nice and cozy place to camp for a couple of nights. The place was well lit to guide us at night.

We enjoyed a lovely mid week retreat!! The signal was also strong enough that I could hotspot my laptop to get a bit of work done. It’s a great spot with a lot of care put into it! Hopefully the next time we book the weather will also be great!

Loved that it was tucked away and private. We really enjoyed the lights, it made playing cards easier in the evening. The host is very responsive and checks in to make sure everything is good. Will definitely look at coming back again in the future.

Really cool place - in the woods but adjacent to a small residential community. Wonderful for a rustic getaway. John was very communicative with my questions.

Brilliant spot that has everything you need for some camping. My dog loved the area and John provides everything one may require for a few nights stay.

We loved camping in this gorgeous little campsite. It was a bit difficult finding the entrance but it’s truly enchanting. With a little canopy, guided lights at night and firewood provided. Fully recommend!

Loved my mini tent camping adventure. Was really close to the city, but far enough away to get into the woods. It was really nice to have a rustic location all by yourself. "Supply tent" had dry wood, board games, and other essentials. I forgot a pot to boil water and borrowed one from there. John was great with communication on where to park and if we needed anything. There are very few places like this around. If you stay here, please don't ruin it for everyone else and leave a mess or break anything. I plan to take my family back here again!

Great weekend! Extremely well setup and thought through with a supply tent with anything you might have forgot or need. Lighting around the site is amazing. Great location, close to stores and activities.
