We loved the cozy adorable camper and the huge pavilion. Bring your camping cooking gear and you never have to leave! The trails on their property are gorgeous and mossy. Our dog loved them! Having hot water, a real bed and electricity made it a camping trip we could both enjoy for our anniversary. Thank you!!
