This home was the coziest and most relaxing place to stay ever!!! 🥰Such happy and warm vibes all around even staying on a 40 degree weekend!!! The wood burning stove was so amazing and kept the house so warm! There was even firewood available!!! 😇I brought my own but it was awesome there was some extra! Me and my girlfriend cooked some delicious meals in the adorable, spacious, and well stocked kitchen! It was the most amazing birthday getaway and my girlfriend was so pleased as well! Thank you Lauren for hosting such a wonderful and beautiful home to the Hipcamp/ Airbnb community ☺️ we will 100% be back!!! Our little chiweenie, Mabel absolutely loved the home too! She felt right at home and loved to explore the front yard and sit on the cute back porch and sunbathe. Mabel will want to return for another trip as well 🥰🐾💜

Such a beautiful property, sites are spread out plenty of walking trails and hiking in the area, including on the grounds. The cabin was well appointed with all the necessities. I suggest making sure you bring a garbage bag and any other things that you typically like to have at home to the cabin. Plenty of utensils, plates, bowls, spices, and other handy items. The half barrel fire pit was perfect for the evening campfires with s’mores there is also a corner store 6 miles away in Decker’s in case you forget anything. Everyone was friendly. We were able to play frisbee on the road in front of our campsite, which was a lot of fun. Very peaceful in the evenings starting around nine or 10 o’clock until morning time beautiful view of the sky. I recommend if you’re interested in a great camping spot with beautiful surroundings and scenery. Terri is a great host who is very informative with directions and accommodating. We’ll be back again!

Staying at Lauren's little Victorian-style house in Silver Plume was a perfect stop on our cross-country trip! The house is clean, cozy and convenient, with a comfy bed (two, actually, but we only slept in one), laundry, TV, and a full kitchen. We chatted with Lauren's partner, who was very warm. Silver Plume is a tiny and beautiful town. We enjoyed walking around and everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming. We got some great sandwiches at an excellent local spot called Silver Plume Provisions. Lauren's place, and the town in general, were both dog-friendly, which was important to us. All in all an excellent stay and we will be returning!
