Weekend Trip to Bracy Gold Bison Ranch

Stacy is so nice and was so generous. The spot was very peaceful and private. The property is beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for more. Will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

We loved our stay at Uncle Chuck's Cabin! The amazing waterfront property does not disappoint! The cabin was great and very well appointed. We enjoyed being so close to the tow path trail and hiking to the nearby metroparks. Chuck was just the sweetest and made sure to leave no some unturned when showing us around the property!

Weekend Trip to Indian Lake Adventures

We had a great time glamping in our adorable Indian Lake tiny house! The grounds are well maintained and lovely, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. On the edge of the property is a brew pub with games, cozy seating indoors and out, fire pits, and sometimes even live music and food trucks, which was a pleasant surprise. House was well equipped with many essentials, too. Would definitely stay again!!

Weekend Trip to Bracy Gold Bison Ranch

Great experience, secluded campsite. Beautiful view of stars at night. Make sure you buy some burgers or steaks to grill, they were both amazing.

2 nights at Uncle Chuck's Cabin

We had a great time, very peaceful and private. Chuck and his wife were very kind. We had a blast fishing, better than we expected! We didn’t even want to leave this morning! We caught 4 fish in 1 hour 45 mins before we left. 3 drums and a baby cat. Yesterday evening 2 large cat fish 3 lbs and 5 pounds, along with another drum. A lot of things are provided for you which is amazing. We brought everything we needed because we were unsure what was there, we forgot a couple of things but Chuck had them handy, like tongs and an oven mitt. You can get by while staying here with just clothes, fishing poles and food. It’s set up like you were visiting your parent’s cabin, it’s a nice and convenient stay! We couldn’t use the boat because the water was choppy but I would have LOVED to be out there and it would’ve made it even better. I’m already trying to figure out when to come back when weather is better!

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

Great location on the water with nothing but privacy with no one around. Cabin was awesome for someone who loves the rustic trip with no running water and little electricity. Easy and quick introduction before settling in.

1 night at Driftwood Acres

The property is peaceful and beautiful! We would definitely stay again. Heather was an amazing host and very hospitable to our needs!!

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

Thanks to chuck and his beautiful cabin me and my fiance had a good time. It was beautiful and peaceful will be coming back!!!!

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

This cabin was amazing! It's tied for first place for my favorite cabins. It is very clean, private, has an excellent view, and great amenities. The price is very competitive. Chuck and Anya were very nice and accommodating. It was cold out, the stove kept the cabin cozy with the provided firewood. I'm very short and the provided footstool made accessing the loft steps easy. Would stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Forested area, and wetlands

Such a great spot! Robert is extremely responsive and helpful!

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

Cabin was clean and well kept! Land was beautiful, river was beautiful! We had a great day/night.

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

this was a perfect cozy cabin experience. everything provided if you left something behind. Chuck was very helpful with directions and when refilling the generator. Love the wood stove, we took the chance to cook inside instead of in the cold on a gas stove

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

Lovely spot, just as cozy as can be! Chuck showed us how to operate the cabin and we spent a warm night snuggled up inside. It was a little cold and snowy to use the expansive front porch to admire the river, but we look forward to another visit during the warmer months:).

Weekend Trip to Richards Resting Roost

Our very first night as life time mobile living. It was completely random and I'm not sure how our night would have ended without HipCamp or Joshua's home for us to stay in that night. Living city life all the time, and waking up in their backyard was actually quite beautiful and welcome. We needed to leave a little later, and much unlike city life...they were very ok with us leaving late. I only needed to see them to hook up some electric. It took a few minutes for them to notice we had pulled in, but again...this is their backyard they are letting us stay in for a very nominal fee. It was as advertised and worth anyone's boondocking or traveling needs

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

It was a great getaway for the evening!! Chuck was very helpful when I wasn’t able to locate where I needed to be for the keys! Overall great experience and I’ll definitely be coming back!

1 night at Bracy Gold Bison Ranch

This is a great getaway. Super quiet spot under the stars. Lots of walk paths to explore the property. Chickens greet you on your drive in. Horses and bison roaming in the fields. Stacy is a super nice host.

Weekend Trip to Scott and Amy's Rural Respite

Very easy to find and helpful hosts. Setting up was easy in this spacious area.

Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

13 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · West Millgrove, OH

We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Buckeye and Lexi can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There's also Turk the turkey and his flock of chickens. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.
