Amazing little place in the trees and by the river. My partner and I had an amazing time lounging on the dock and want to come back to fully enjoy the river when it's hotter next year! The fully equipped kitchen and that powerful little stove made us some great meals that felt perfect for the end of summer. Can't wait to return!

1 night at Green Acres Glampground

My husband, 2 year old, and I stayed at River's Edge for one night and it was idyllic! We rented a canoe, brought it with us, and enjoyed peace down the shallow, quiet river. There was a small ice cream shop/restaurant across the street to walk to. Tracy & Rob were responsive and available for anything we needed, and the tent was clean, no bugs, and warm/cozy.

Our campsite was rather private and had quick access to the river. And Green Acres is pretty close to Cherry Springs State Park, so the star gazing was an unexpected delight.

The intentionality of the cabin, combining elements of the past with the present, the view of the area mountains from the top of the property near the barn, and the hospitality from Tony’s son, Jake, make this a wonderful place to get away from the busyness of life! I look forward to a return visit! 😊

Tracy & Rob’s camp was the perfect weekend getaway. The Glamping section was perfect for relaxing, a quick river swim, and just a peaceful place to read a book. We loved that it was a “private” area where we wouldn’t be overwhelmed with too many people! I would highly recommend a trip here! We will be back

Tracy and Rob’s glampground was an amazing stay and I would highly recommend. First and foremost they are very communicative and had great recommendations for things to do in the area. It was a great base camp for a long weekend of exploring the outdoors. The tent was cozy, the grounds were very clean and the surrounding views were nice. I will definitely be returning for another stay sometime in the future.

We loved our stay at Sassafras Hollow! The farm was cute and everyone was very friendly and happy to show us around. We bought some produce from our hosts and it was delicious. Benny the farm dog is a real charmer too! The cabin was clean and air conditioned, we enjoyed looking through the books and movies. We also took a short drive to Cowan's Gap for a hike and a great view. Couldn't have asked for more!
