1 night at A-frame rustic cabin

This was the absolute perfect place for me on a long road trip, this cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's secluded but the hosts aren't far if you need anything else in a snap. The cabin itself and the surrounding area is so beautiful! It was nice to watch the sun rise from the comfort of my bed. J&T are very responsive, and even went out of their way to mail me a pair of earrings I left there, couldn't recommend this place enough!

Weekend Trip to A-frame rustic cabin

My dog Teemo and I had a wonderful stay at Jim and Tracy’s A-frame cabin. They really thought of everything when putting this place together. When I arrived after dark, I wasn’t sure I was in the right spot and had spotty service, but Jim showed up within minutes and even started a fire for us while we settled in! The cabin had all the necessities for a cozy weekend — plenty of firewood included, a warm bathroom with a handwashing station, and even a guitar, which was such a nice touch to play by the fire. There are a couple of dollar stores nearby for snacks or produce, which was really convenient. Teemo and I were very comfortable and appreciated how thoughtful and responsive Jim was. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to CHERRY VALLEY CHILL

I had a great weekend of camping. The cabin was clean and very comfortable. The wood burning stove provided the perfect amount of warmth. I enjoyed the sounds of all the wildlife outside the doors. From the geese to the pack of howling coyotes, to all the farm animals in the area. Tim had the outside fire pit already set and the inside stove as well. He made sure we were stocked with more than enough wood for the weekend, and messaged me to make sure I still had enough wood. The outdoor porta potty was very clean and a very nice perk from our normal camping locations. It was also nice being able to let my dog run free all weekend. He enjoyed that very much. I highly recommend this site and will definitely be coming back here again!

We were warmly greeted by host with fire blazing in fire pit & woodstove! Plenty of firewood provided. Very appreciated on a cold evening in Nov! Beautiful site!!! Can’t say enough! Loved all of the lights, the pull down platform was great for our folding mattress, even a charging station for our phones, plenty of room for ourselves & our pups. The outhouse was convenient & clean. Felt very private. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to A-frame rustic cabin

10/10. Would give it 6 stars if I could. This place was the perfect escape. First, the location is amazing. Tucked away, quiet, and—the best part—absolutely zero cell service. My phone became a very expensive brick, and it was glorious. Highly recommend. The A-frame itself is pure cozy. It got a little chilly, but we fired up the wood-burning stove and that helped keep the cold away Also, can we talk about the bathroom? Clean. Close by. Not a terrifying spider-shed a half-mile away. We over-packed by a large amount. Don't be like us. Just bring your clothes, some food, and a good attitude. The host has already thought of everything else. We'll definitely be back, just with about 80% less stuff.

Weekend Trip to A-frame rustic cabin

Absolutely loved staying at the A frame cabin. My partner and I brought our two dogs. Had a great time having bonfires and checking out trails. They also left a pumpkin for us to carve which was so fun and nice of Jim and Tracy to do! Rented the diesel heater and it was well worth it! Jim came and gave us a visit and was very kind. Would definitely recommend checking this place out and hope to come back in the future! :)

Stayed here for a night while on a road trip, and absolutely loved it!! Jim and Tracy have thought of literally everything one could need - such a comfortable and easy stay, while still getting that camping vibe. Communication was great, land was beautiful, and felt safe as a solo camper. Would recommend.

I rented this site with my partner for my birthday and to see someone else’s take on a smaller of off-grid lifestyle. (Apparently one you can haul up a mountain if inspired.) Fantastic communication with our hosts set us up for success. Jim and Tracy are so considerate! The site is away from the road enough and the view from the A-frame is pointed away from the driveway (see photo). We enjoyed hearing different birds and the quiet. Almost no outside noise, just an occasional distant truck. A beautiful variety of trees surround the A-frame. The deck and fire pit area are wonderful to relax in. One of my favorite parts was enjoying the small wood burner inside at the end of the day. So happy we booked here!

Absolutely loved our stay here! So quiet, secluded, and the stars at night were breathtaking. Jim and Tracy really go above and beyond to make sure their guests have the best experience, providing so many little extras that don’t go unnoticed. We had a pretty chilly night and they stopped by the next morning to make sure we still had enough supplies, and even dropped off some pumpkins for us to carve. Quality campsite and hosts, we can’t wait to return!

What a great HipCamp . One of the most professionally ran HipCamps I have stayed at. You have to be careful when it comes to HipCamps because a lot are misrepresented in the puctures . This one wasn't ! Jim stooped by and told me about some history in the area and I am always looking for history . We had a great but short chat and he left me to enjoy my camp. So yes , i definitely recommended this HipCamp !!!! 5 stars

What an amazing place! Of course Jim & Tracy are wonderful & gracious hosts, they're folks that actually care about your experience. But the spot itself is beautiful, calm, relaxing, and all the other good things. If you need to disconnect from the crazy and reconnect with what matters, here's where you do it. I stayed one day, but I probably needed a month. https://youtu.be/pZIlr1mrv24?si=mC6FC4KPpFdNrKpL

Weekend Trip to A-frame rustic cabin

Had an absolutely fantastic stay at Jim and Tracy’s A-frame! The cabin is at the end of a dead end drive, nestled into the hillside. There are no other houses or campsites on the property and I was immediately struck by how perfectly private it felt. My dog was able to be off leash and explore without fear of traffic or other people. The cabin itself is adorable! There are so many personal touches, even a blanket left specifically for my dog! I loved the removable window at the back of the cabin and screen for the door- made for great airflow. It is small but Jim let me know I could rearrange things however I’d like to make the space work best. It was a very warm weekend so I opted to put up a tent and sleep under the stars. No light pollution so the sky was incredible! As a woman camping alone I felt very safe at this property. Jim stopped by a few hours after check in and showed me around a bit which was very appreciated. It is obvious they put a lot of care into their guest’s satisfaction. I almost hate to give such a great review as this is truly a hidden gem!! Many thanks Jim and Tracy for sharing this very special place. We will definitely be back!
