I have stayed with my wife here before, I have also camped on the property a few times. It has become one of my favorite places to get away. It’s very stress free, Amanda is a wonderful host and the place is quite frankly, stunning. I enjoy places of silence and few people, and this has both. And the stars, you just can’t get them any better than here. Fantastic. BF

Weekend Trip to STEEP DREAMS
Most comfortable bed from an online reservation ever! Very clean and cozy teepee with nice details like lamps with usb plug ins and nightlight setting, heavy blankets and a couple chairs. Portapotty down the hill was clean. Nice landscaping and a cute pond. There were lots of deer to greet us. Note—the gravel path up is indeed steep, we made it in good weather in a Prius, 4 wheel drive in anything less than dry conditions would be great. We’d definitely stay here again.

My partner and I stayed 3 nights at the Steep Dreams Cabin with our two small dogs. It was the perfect spot. It has the most beautiful view and a peaceful running stream to enjoy on the back porch. Colby and April were very easy to contact and answered any questions we had. We would recommend this stay!

I inherited my eleven year old from a dearly departed friend about a year and a half ago, and she had never been camping before. I, however, am officially too old to sleep on the ground (or so my joints and back tell me). Colby and April’s teepee was the perfect compromise, and gave us a great base camp for a weekend full of adventures. (It feels so luxurious to wake up in a soft and warm bed in the open air of morning!)
