Weekend Trip to Emerald Green Cabin

We loved our stay at Emerald Green Cabin. We have stayed at many off-the-grid cabins, and this was one of our favorites. Very clean and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the ease of the kitchen set-up with the propane stove. The woodstove kept us plenty warm during the cold nights. Apart from some of the places we've stayed, you could notice the care and thought put into the design, build, and furnishment of the cabin. The path down to the river was fun and well-marked, though the water level was a little low due to the drought...as we expected. Lisa was an excellent host, responsive without being intrusive. We highly recommend the Emerald Green Cabin.

Weekend Trip to The Owls Nest @ Pustizzi Fruit Farm

My favorite Hipcamp so far! Stunning property with amazing views, tons of privacy and almost no road noise & light pollution. The cabin is very spacious & comfortable and the outhouse is very clean. There’s even an actual flush toilet & shower. Joe met us with some fresh raspberries & a warm welcome. My after dark walk with my dogs was my most memorable moment - nothing but nighttime insect sounds, moonlight & the wind in the leaves. We will definitely be back - truly a very special place!

Weekend Trip to The Owls Nest @ Pustizzi Fruit Farm

We loved this spot. Very private and clearly all done with intention and love. This is probably my favorite short term rental we have ever been to.

Weekend Trip to Spacious Skies Walnut Grove Campground

It's a neat and clean campground. The restrooms were spotless. It's peaceful and beautiful. The linens package I received was a pleasant bonus. Comforter and pillows were plush, sheets were nice and towels seemed new. Very nice! Staff was pleasant and polite. It's been over 15 years since I've been camping and the cabin with linens was a step up I needed. I would book again.

Weekend Trip to Country Meadow Glamping Cabin

We had a lovely overnight! It was peaceful, clean, quiet, and secluded, too! We also loved the fresh cedar smell of the cabin! The directions and signage were great and the instructions in the cabin were very clear, too! The property was absolutely beautiful, with wide green meadows that made it feel so peaceful and inviting.

1 night at The Owls Nest @ Pustizzi Fruit Farm

This Hipcamp was absolutely gorgeous. The land was filled with wildflowers and fruit, and you can tell so much heart and soul went into creating and caring for this property. It’s peaceful, relaxing, and even better than the pictures online. The house was cozy and comfy with everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay. The view, the outhouse, so much attention to detail! Truly a special spot—we’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to The Owls Nest @ Pustizzi Fruit Farm

Joe is a great host! My wife and I absolutely loved our stay this weekend. The setting is very private, lending quite the romantic and relaxing feel. The cabin itself was very comfortable and clean, with stunning views over the hills and the meadow in front. It’s so well stocked that we only had to bring clothes, food, and drinking water. There’s even a pour over coffee setup! If you wait until late afternoon when the sun has warmed up the water tank, you can shower while looking over the majestic ridge. While we were unable to take advantage of the brick oven pizza this time, we came home with an abundance of fresh blueberries picked right from the farm!

Weekend Trip to The Owls Nest @ Pustizzi Fruit Farm

We were looking for a bit of post-hiking R&R with our dog, and we came to the right place. The Owl's Nest combined a beautiful and secluded landscape with a cabin that was artfully and thoughtfully crafted from top to bottom. As previous commenters have noted, despite it's cozy size, we didn't feel as though any detail was missed. The outdoor shower was cold but a much appreciated treat after the morning. Once we were cleaned up all of the supplies were ready for us to make a fire and enjoy the view over a meal, and finally to retreat back to the cabin where the view was still the highlight through the many windows. We loved our stay and will definitely not hesitate to visit again.

Weekend Trip to Country Meadow Glamping Cabin

We loved the cabin, and we had a wonderful time. The host is so hospitable and provided us with anything we needed. We slept for a night and climbed Mount Washington the next day.
