Weekend Trip to Cone's Riverside Canyon Cabins
The place was very clean, and tidy, everything you could need for a few days away was provided, the wildlife was abundant and the jacuzzi was decent. There's wifi and TV but we never turned it on because we were just loving the chill vibes of the trails, and private deck.
We loved our stay in the Ever After, we saw wild turkeys, bats, elk, and more. The bed was comfy and the fans provided were a nice touch.
The only downsides were the long black hairs stuck to the towels and shower curtains- I have short blonde hair, the slightly loud drunken neighbors in the next cabin over, and the broken tiles on the floor- you should wear slippers to be safe. Overall a great little getaway for us!

Fantastic spot. Heads up, GPS took me to the wrong spot about 300 ft down the road. So just a warning. Not at all the fault of the owner obviously. Cute cabin, outstanding animal activity going on from.bays, to flying turkeys roosting, all kinds of fun. Everything clean and we did our best to leave it clean too. Great communication. All around. Love this spot and we'll be back fur sure.

What a wonderful experience! We took a 40’ motor home in and out easily. It’s also close to the main road in and out. Tommy and Tiffany are both wonderful people, very inviting and the camping spaces are quite private and quiet with views of horses in a pasture and goats occasionally herded one way or another. The community is awesome, very welcoming, and the onsite Rigby’s offers good food and great live music.
There is a new small building with restrooms and a shower in one of them. Electric, up to 50amp (bring an adapter if you are set up for 30 amp) and water hookups. Dump station right next to property.
Definitely recommend. I will go here again

Not only were our hosts helpful way we needed a rubber washer on our RV maiden voyage, but the property is Oh so special! We saw big sky stars, and heard lovely birds singing, visited the horses and goats. The cream on the top of this extra special place is Rigby’s on property for all things restaurant bar ice cream. Rigby The Dog comes by to check on the tables. We happened to go on a Saturday night and caught some wonderful live music ! We can’t wait to be back. The hook ups all worked great, and there is a dump station on site.

Weekend Trip to Gordon Creek RV Park
We stayed in cabin #2 and we loved it! It was a nice get away with a great view! We're pretty private and introverted people so we didn't go out and socialize much, but there was a cafe so we absolutely could have! Everything worked as expected, everything was clean, instructions were provided and they were pretty clear. There were a few discrepancies between what the listing says, the info in the binder, and the text I received, but it wasn't a big deal and was sorted out quickly. There were a few dogs around that were very friendly! We love dogs. The wifi calling wasn't working for me, there is no cell service there - but there is wifi, just something to keep in mind.
