Get away from it all on 60 acres of quiet space! You have two options--bring your own tent and camping gear and rough it, or stay in our hand-built cabin with all you need for a couple of nights of pure R&R! Experience zero light pollution at this off the grid cabin or in one of our camping spots. Although the cabin is not hooked up to electric or water, it is equipped with kitchen cabinets, pots and pans and dishes and silverware, drinking and cleaning/cooking water, a pullout bed with sheets and blankets (2 people), a couch that becomes a futon, one more couch and a blowup air mattrees, a dining room table and four chairs, a porch glider, an outhouse, a camp stove, books, a few rechargeable lights (but good to bring your own), kindling and firewood, and is insulated with a stove for winter stays. A fire pit and benches await your nighttime enjoyment of the solitude and stars. We encourage you to walk and experience a true "backwoods" experience, but we will drive you down in our Utility Vehicle if needed. A ping pong table is available in the barn/workshop if people would like to play. We also have pollinator and vegetable gardens and chickens, and we produce maple syrup in the spring. If guests are interested in workshops on carpentry, food preservation, foraging, gardening, bread baking, and kombucha-brewing, they should let us know a WEEK in ADVANCE. We also offer spiritual direction and Enneagram exploration/typing conversations.

Bailee is a phenomenal host. Her communication goes above and beyond. An absolute pleasure to work with. This was our fourth time at the site. We keep coming back for so many reasons - the privacy, the tranquility, the well manicured site, the large space, the proximity to everything, the awesome fire pit….. . It’s extremely difficult to find another Hipcamp that is comparable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Happy Hours. It was private, quiet, and peaceful yet close to coffee shops, hiking, restaurants, wineries, and breweries, etc. Our dogs enjoyed the property as well. We would definitely stay there again!!!

I loved camping here. Very private and quiet. Went for a bike ride and Laurel recommended a local Amish bakery and a few other places to check out. I'll definitely back, hoping to bring my wife and son to the cabin in the winter.

Beautiful private campsite with full hook ups. Camp host communicated very well and checked to confirm we got there and set up okay. We loved the area and enjoyed the vineyards, farms, and hiking in the area. We even did a hot air balloon ride in Ithaca. Very cool experience. We enjoyed the private and peaceful evenings at the campsite and by the fire.

Weekend Trip to Trees and Dreams

Staying here was such a great experience! The tent and surrounding property are stunning! A cart was provided to wheel out things to the tent. There was a composting toilet, fire pit and picnic table near the tent. It was so nice looking out at the pond and hearing the bull frogs. Away from it all yet about 10 mins into Naples. Plus, the bed was very comfy!

Lovely place to camp as a family or with a group of friends. Be prepared in the area it can get buggy but that is the area not the site. The place owners were very responsive and when the heat wave hit they even checked in on us to see that we were ok. For those that book here you should know that there is trash removal in Dundee M- F and they take credit cards. The company is Cardinal disposal. As for laundry I recommend the laundry in lake street. It is cooler and the machines are in better shape. Additionally you can use a credit card via an app versus quarters. All the best for a great camp.

We had a lovely 2 nights at Connie’s Cabin celebrating my birthday. Watching deer and birds from the deck was so peaceful and serene. Grateful that Laurel and Rock have shared their beautiful property with folks looking for a little respite. We feel refreshed!
