Weekend Trip to Big Laurel Ranch

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

Such a cool place. So nice to be off-grid to just be in nature. I enjoyed putting my phone down and just hanging out by the creek. Felt like a good brain reset, and cabin was so cozy.

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.

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.

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!!

Was a beautiful property tucked back in the foothills of the mountains with a creek rolling by all the time making a beautiful noise. Really enjoyed the snow and building a warm fire outside, going inside the cabin to warm up as needed and bird watching. The bed was amazing. Will definitely be back in the spring/summer. :)

I loved my winter night spent here! Perfect place to come and relax; we loved sitting by the fire and staying warm using the heater! The bed was super comfy and the outhouse was extra clean 🤩

1 night at Backwoods Hideaway

Cozy little cabin surrounded by nature. We camped with our two little ones and two dogs and all fit comfortably inside. Everything was super clean and the amenities provided made our trip comfortable with the convenience of not having to pack all of our gear. It was pretty cold during our stay but we're provided with an abundance of blankets and the little heater run by a generator kept the cabin pretty toasty. We enjoyed exploring the creek that runs just outside the cabin and relaxing around the fire.

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

Backwoods Hideaway was beautiful, it was very private while always feeling very clean and homey, Aaron was incredibly kind and responsive. The outdoors shower was all hooked up for us and as easy as just turning the shower head on, having a clean and heated shower under the stars was perfect after sitting next to a fire with the stream rustling in the background. We can’t wait to return.

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

Had a great time with some friends at the sunset ridge tent site. Property was beautiful and lots of trails to explore. We went down to the creek to check out the caves and rock formations. Would highly recommend this site if you’re looking for a place to hike and explore.
