We have a beautiful, densely treed, and well-groomed 1-acre piece of property in desirable cottage country that's craving your company! The mature trees, corner lot and private road offer seclusion, tranquility and peaceful atmosphere. The terrain is steep and hilly; however there are flatter areas to pitch a tent or level a trailer. The site boasts serenity as it remains untouched to significant changes to honor its original beauty and encourage its sustainability. It is within walking distance to the world-famous, Panam Summer Games host " The Minden White Water Preserve/Rapids", which is used for kayaking and hiking. Walking distance to a public beach on the desirable Horseshoe Lake, part of a 3 chain lake, where you can fish, swim and relax in clean, sparkling waters. Our oasis welcomes you! Choose from two options. Beneath The Stars Tenting Escape - tent or RV(up to 25 feet) site with an outhouse Rustic Cozy Cabin - ideal for a family or group. Currently can sleep 5 adults comfortably, or 6 with small children. We are in a very desirable location; only 10 minute drive to the village of Minden, and surrounded by natural beauty and activities for nature lovers!

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Vanessa's cabin offers a peaceful retreat with plenty of space and a cozy atmosphere. Guests consistently mention the tranquil environment, often noting the presence of wildlife and the beauty of the surrounding nature. Vanessa is praised for her attentiveness and thoughtful touches like welcome snacks and detailed local recommendations. A few guests pointed out challenges with the sloped land, which can make setting up tents or playing outdoor games a bit tricky, but the overall experience remains positive.

    My family and I had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The property had a lot of space for outdoor activities and was very quiet and private. The host, Vanessa, was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely come back for another stay :)

    This was a weekends well spent. Glad we made it out for the weekend. It’s a cozy cabin. It was tidy and some snacks and water were provided! It is well worth taking a trip I’d say. And the communication was on point. She had lots of info on things that we could do or places to go visit. And was available for any need while staying there!
