We only stayed one night but had a lovely time. Benjamin was very helpful and gave us great tips for hikes in the area. Definitely recommend!

The covered porch, chairs, firepit and picnic table are all just a few steps away from the cabin.

Weekend Trip to Hemlock Cabin

We spent two nights at this magical little house, and I think it’s the first time I’ve truly missed a place after leaving. Everything was thoughtfully crafted — you can feel the love and talent of the people who built it with their own hands. From the smallest kitchen details to the balcony overlooking the creek, and the shower with a floor-to-ceiling window facing the forest — it’s all just perfect. A huge thank you to the hosts for creating such a cozy and welcoming space. We’ll definitely be back! 💚💚💚

1 night at Camp Benjamin

The property is beautiful and the hosts were super hospitable, showed us around, gave recommendations about local food options and hikes, and offered us coffee in the morning. We stayed in the en-suite cabin and it’s small yet had small fridge and tv. Bed was comfortable and we appreciated how clean and unscented everything was.
