Weekend Trip to The Jolly Treehouse

Second stay! Loved it even more this year. Lots of trails and nature, I will be back 😁

In an area with a lot to do, hikes, downtown Chelsea. The treehouse was clean and comfortable with many thoughtful amenities. Outhouse was clean and odor free. Do not have little kids, but would be an amazing place to bring children, so much for them to do. Host was very available, kind, I had a restorative girls weekend around the campfire!

Weekend Trip to EarthColors Farm

EarthColors farm is a fantastic property - the campsites are private with a great view, the hosts welcome you into their beautiful garden, there is a short trail, and they have just about every amenity you may need on site. Perfect for stargazing and listening to nature.

Was the perfect place to relax and unwind! If you love nature in it's truest form this is the place had Luke as a companion for a couple nights great guest dog ....even waited for my wife outside of the restroom and walked her back to camp. Cabin was clean and cozy just used it for sleeping which was great not having to put up a tent and deal with the rainy nights. Stephen was a great host came by by respectfully to see if we needed anything and ask how our stay was going.

1 night at Life Adventures

The area was beautiful, fairly private, real quiet, and we felt safe. The shower and bathroom facilities are excellent.

Stephen was kind and allowed us to change the camp site from woods to open spot. Open spot was perfect on a clear sunny day. Now I know why it was voted for best campsite. Dog Luke was with us for the entire night and watched over us. Bathroom was near but they weren’t kept up that was the only concern. But might be due to beginning of the season. All in all it was a great stay, surrounding area was well kept and nature-filled.

Weekend Trip to Treasure Hunt Treehouse

We had an excellent time there the host was great would definitely go again

2 nights at Little Cabin in the Woods

We loved our stay at Sandy’s cabin! We’ve stayed in cabins all over the world, and who knew the perfect one was only an 2-hour drive away! Every little detail has been thoughtfully attended to. The cabin is warm and inviting with any item you might need. Bathroom facilities were so clean, and the property is a dream for bird watching and wandering with your dog. It was hard to decide whether to hang out in the sunroom/porch or outside in the lovely, quiet forest setting. Great fire pit area, and dark skies for star gazing. We can’t wait to return!
