The land (both forest and pasture) was beautiful and the hiking was spectacular! The hosts were very friendly and happy to help out when I needed something. I would absolutely return in the future

Walnut Falls Escape

Weekend Trip to Walnut Falls Escape

Craig’s Hipcamp was honestly perfect—super secluded, peaceful, and packed with adventure. It felt like having my own little slice of nature, totally off the grid. Whether I was just relaxing or out exploring, it was exactly what I needed. Plus, Craig is awesome—really kind and always happy to help. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with endless outdoor vibes, this is the place.

Walnut Falls Escape

Weekend Trip to Walnut Falls Escape

I loved the cozy cabin feel! It had a fire pit and grill which was perfect for making food :) There's a wood stove/heater inside to keep you warm on cooler nights. Recommend wearing hiking boots as getting to the cabin is a little bit of a trek. 5/5 would visit again.

The General Cabin

Cozy little cabin on an absolutely breathtaking piece of land!! Especially with all the rain lately, the waterfalls were really flowing! The beds in the cabin were super comfortable and we all slept great. Liz and her husband were so nice and very helpful!!

Big Laurel Ranch

9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents350 acres · Blaine, KY

Big Laurel is a working cattle farm on land that has been in our family for 4 generations. The farm consists of 370 acres of bottomland pasture along the creek and quiet woodlands where you can explore jagged rock cliffs and beautiful vistas. The woodlands are undergoing transformation as we continue an ongoing forest rehabilitation project to return our land to its natural state as a deciduous hardwood forest. Spotted on the farm is an amazing abundance of wildlife including wild turkeys, white tailed deer, pileated woodpeckers, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, bear, and red tailed hawks.

Our name, "Walnut Falls Escape," was inspired by the abundance of black walnut trees that grace the property. The word "Falls" highlights the stunning 30 foot waterfall nestled within the landscape. Finally, "Escape" reflects the opportunity to leave behind the busyness of everyday life and immerse yourself in the serenity and peacefulness that define Walnut Falls Escape.

A Rustic Ravine Cabin Adventure

26 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents400 acres · Genoa, WV

West Virginia’s Coolest, Newest, Vacation Cabin Rental and Hip Camping Resort! The idea for creating a cabin rental/camping vacation getaway in the Allegheny Mountain Range came to life over several meetings at a Bob Evans restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, between co-owners Paul Liimatta and Joe Boffo. Joe had been accumulating land in the Genoa, West Virginia, area for several years and had dreamed of building cabins, tree houses and uniquely designed vacation rentals and campsites on a beautiful area called Hampton Ridge. Come and judge for yourself ;)
