Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin
We had such a wonderful stay! It was me, my boyfriend, and our two dogs. When we arrived, Chuck gave us a tour of the cabin and explained everything we needed to know.
This was actually my very first time camping, except for once when I was a kid and went with a friend. My boyfriend has always loved camping and has been trying to get me to go, but I've never really considered myself the "camping type." This cabin was the perfect way to ease me into it!
The cabin was stocked with just about everything you could think of—flashlights, paper plates and utensils, wipes, hand sanitizer, bug spray, and so much more. Chuck even had a generator available that powered lights, fans, and the microwave,
The location is absolutely beautiful, sitting right along the river. I even went kayaking for the first time. There are two kayaks available on site, along with a small rowboat. We didn't get a chance to use the rowboat this trip, but my boyfriend is already planning to come back so he can take it out fishing.
If you're looking for a peaceful place to unplug, relax, and unwind, this is it. Thank you, Chuck!

This was our first HipCamp experience, first vacation in years and first time camping with our dogs. Chuck was so kind and helpful and his property is absolutely beautiful. The loft bed stayed cool even though it was warm in the sun, the access to the river was incredible and it was so private and quiet. It was exactly what we needed, I hope we can make it back soon. Also more small amenities were provided than I expected, making it a truly easy camping experience.

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin
This was a great riverside area and the house was perfect for what I was hoping for, which was a nice off-the-grid cabin to camp in with my kids along the water. The cabin is heated with a wood stove that puts out more than enough heat for a cold night. I even made pancakes on a griddle that was heated on top of the wood stove, which the kids thought was fun. There is a generator and lights with microwave for when you want to go back on the grid. And restrooms are an outhouse without running water. It a small cabin and is rustic, but it is also well put together and in good shape. Chuck was a very gracious host.

The dogs and I had a very peaceful stay at Uncle Chuck's cabin! The highlights were the sunrises over the river, all the birds and birdcalls, the wood stove that kept the cabin very cozy at night and just all of the conveniences they provide! Anya gave me a mug before we drove down to the cabin that was such a nice gift. Chuck gave me instructions on how to use everything when I got there which was very much appreciated. Overall just a very peaceful stay with lots of beautiful scenery, wildlife and conveniences.
