Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

We had a great two night stay at the Owl's Nest cabin. Helmut answered all of our questions before we left and transported us to the cabin to show us around the cabin and property. Cabin is secluded and off-grid. Our dog was not a fan of the steep stairs to the loft. Don't forget to bring your orange vest and remember to check for ticks. Highly recommend for those looking for a quiet getaway.

Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

We absolutely loved our stay at Owl’s Nest! Helmut treated you like family, sharing his experiences tending the forest and the cabin that he built. If you’re looking for a place to get off-grid, connect with nature, and be able to explore the many trails just outside your door, this is the place! We especially appreciated how the land was private, so that we could let our pup explore without worrying about running into any other dog owners. It was a great to share this cabin and we will certainly be coming back!

Site 1 is the first lot, furthest from the shed.

1 night at Manuel's Camping

We arrived with our trailer which is self contained late in the season and Manuel's place welcomed us with friendly hospitality . We stayed one night and the weather was rainy so we did not have a chance to hike the property but the welcome was warm and friendly.

Kitchen table with bench storage seating & upper loft area for sleeping and relaxing.

1 night at Bootsie's

We surprised my parents with a stay at Bootsie Back 40 Cabin for their 40th anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect! The hosts went above and beyond with every detail. The cabin itself is so cozy and welcoming, surrounded by stunning fall colors that made the whole experience magical. My parents loved the peace and quiet — they spent their mornings sipping tea while listening to the birds sing. The hosts were wonderfully friendly and even took photos of my parents for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. They also got to visit the farm animals (including two emus!), which they absolutely adored. Thank you for helping me give my parents such a memorable and heartfelt experience. This will be a trip they’ll cherish forever!

We had the best weekend here at the dome! There’s so much to do to keep you busy. From the trails in the woods, kayaking, enjoying the hot tub, and fire pit. You won’t be disappointed!

Weekend Trip to Creekside RnR Glamping

Get ready for a peaceful and magical stay, nestled between the dreamy domes and a charming boat. The treehouse has everything you need- from running water, a full outdoor kitchen, a/c for those hot nights and a cute wood stove for the cold nights. There are even wagons to carry your belongings which was super helpful. If you’re missing anything, Angele is quick to respond!

1 night at Nature's Symphony Retreat

Property is right on the road but there is a long dirt driveway the length of the property that allows you to get back away from the road. The vegetation was a bit overgrown and dry when we stayed so we didn’t drive all the way back but there is a nice flat field area in the back that would be a nice spot to park for the night.

Great little spot. The wood stove made it very cozy and we had enough power for the water, lights and coffee in the morning. It was great having a camping experience while not having to take down tents in the morning. Recommend it if you're in the area.

Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

The property was beautiful and Helmut was very friendly. We felt welcomed right away and loved the ocean views, especially at sunset. We had a short stay but loved every minute of it❤️. We would definitely go back again and would recommend this place to anybody. Thank you to Helmut and his family for sharing their private property with those of us looking for a little seclusion in the sunshine, under the stars and by the water.

1 night at Kavanagh Farm camping

Charlene was the most incredible host! She was so kind, approachable, and informative. She texted us to find out our arrival time so that she could give us a tour of the property when we arrived—it was such a treat to meet all of the critters! She even moved our trailer back into the woods a bit so that we could have privacy and enjoy the pond. The trailer itself is very comfortable, with a toilet, sink, shower, fridge, and table with sitting room.

1 night at Creekside RnR Glamping

We absolutely loved our stay at the treehouse! The space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing retreat. The trails and the privacy made it feel like a true escape, and the quiet surroundings were just what we were looking for. One of the highlights was being able to stargaze right from bed — such a magical experience. The kitchen and amenities were well stocked, which made meals easy and stress-free. The swing set and hammocks were a huge hit with both the kids and adults alike, adding such a fun and playful touch to the stay. It really was the perfect combination of comfort, nature, and little details that made it memorable. We’d come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a unique getaway. Next time we'd love to stay for several nights and really make the most of it.
