Hi! My name is Macy, and this is a project that my grandmother, father, brother, and I have been working on together. Our goal is to share our property with families who have children that love to ride.
A quick story:
When I was a kid, one of my dad’s best friends’ parents let us use about 20 acres of their farm and woods, where we set up a little campground. We had a small camper, tents, a fire pit, and a track out in the woods where we rode dirt bikes, four-wheelers, and side-by-sides.
The best part was that we could keep our belongings and machines there during the week, so when the weekend came, all we had to do was show up and make memories with family and friends. To this day, we still talk about those times.
With that in mind, we want to rent this cabin out to families so they can experience the same thing. We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for you to simply show up and focus on creating memories. We hope that keeping things simple will allow for more time riding and enjoying the woods.
We’re also located close to many attractions, which are listed in the cabin description.
Since it’s private property, it’s a safe environment—even for beginner riders.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to reach out to us.

Another lovely weekend at Camp David. Put the new expanded kitchen area. to use and enjoyed the new lights. It wasn't good weather for a river float but we did a little exploring and stopped at the local creamy whip for a tasty treat. David is a wonderful host and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Weekend Trip to Camp David
Camp David is one of my favorite places to be! I seen so many birds, it was so peaceful to hear all the wildlife. Making dinner over the fire, with the adjustable grate. Love the new enclosed kitchen that provides us with a space to store food and prep! So many options to choose from to sit and relax, nothing is more relaxing. A much needed reset! The dogs absolutely loved the area, and enjoy swimming in the river. Can’t wait till the next trip!

We're already planning our next trip back to Camp David! Perfect spot on the river, and David has thought of everything a guest might need. Better than any hotel - we loved our long weekend here. If you like antiquing there are some fun spots in Rochester about 7 minutes away, along with some great restaurants! Even with some rain, we were able to kick back and relax. Can't wait to stay here again!

This was my 10th visit to Camp David! It was freezing outside, but the cabin was warm, and the campfire was even warmer, under a moonlit sky. The cabin was so cute, decorated with Christmas decorations.
Davis is a fantastic host!
