Kevin was super accommodating and the cabin was very clean and cozy with lots of little extras. The outside of the cabin had a picnic table and fire pit and was private. Cell service was good enough to stream a movie on netflix on our laptop too. We will definitely stay here on the property again.

Star Lee is a wonderful setting for a bucolic visit to Central PA. Close to Raystown Lake and other state lands it offers a nice stay for anyone to hike, bike, hunt, or fish in the area. Stargazing and daydreaming also included. As a working bee and hay farm, Star Lee offers the opportunity to settle in, relax and enjoy. It is clean, comfortable, and obviously well cared for. I highly recommend Star Lee and am still enjoying their honey. We’ll be back.

Weekend Trip to Star Lee Farm
We have stayed in a lot of hip camps, but this by far is one of the very best that we’ve stayed in. Some of the highlights: cozy cabin nicely decorated. No heat or electricity, but he had lanterns for us, but we brought our own. Nice outdoor area with a picnic table and a fire pit that was perfect. Also a gas grill for us to cook on. He is two other cabin places, but they are so far apart that you can’t really hear or see anyone else. The property is huge and it is a working bee farm and it was very cool. These are located nowhere near the cabin, so you never have to worry about the bees being near your cabin. Highly suggest you learn about raising bees from our host! He has delicious honey for sale and an awesome piece of property with lots of different birds and deer. we walked around his property the first day and went 1.7 miles so it is very large. Also, very nice that it is a close walk to the flushable toilets and hot water showers. This was also a huge plus for us in October. Kevin is very responsive. He is also retired military and very compassionate and energetic about his farm. We came up for the end of the road half marathon/4miler, but in addition to that there is much more in this area if you like the outdoors. We did not go to Raytown Lake / Alpaca farm which we will visit next time. We love to hike and within 15 minutes is beautiful hikes with awesome views in including the thousand steps and the standing stone trail. We highly recommend!!!

We loved our stay at Star Lee. The cabins are perfect getaway from the daily grind. Clean and comfortable. If you’re looking for wide open sky and some peace and quiet, look no further and head to Star Lee. Kevin is a gracious and accommodating host! He even checked in to ensure we returned home safe and sound. Simply can’t be beat and we’re very fortunate to have our first Hipcamp stay at Star Lee and looking forward to return. I highly recommend!

We stayed at River Golf Lodge while traveling for the World IBO Archery Tournament with a group of 11 people, and it was an absolute gem!
From the start, the customer service was excellent warm, friendly, and welcoming. The property was spotless, with a gorgeous overlook of the river that made mornings and evenings feel extra special. The whole vibe of the place is peaceful and zen-like, the perfect escape from a busy travel schedule.
A highlight of our stay was definitely the hippie shower. It was incredible ,such a unique and refreshing experience! Honestly, with our large group, we wished there were a couple more of them. The host kindly gave us access to another indoor shower in the lodge, but everyone loved the outdoor one so much that no one wanted to use the other.
There was plenty of room for both our campers and our people, which made logistics a breeze. The host was lovely, and the combination of relaxing surroundings, river views, and thoughtful touches made this a stay we’ll remember.
We’d absolutely come back! hopefully to find a few more of those amazing hippie showers next time!

This place TOTALLY ROCKS!!!! This was our first Hipcamp adventure and Riverview Golf Resort set the bar high!!!
From the special touches to make any camper more comfortable during their stay, to the tasteful decor and high end finishes, owners Rob and Sherie have thought of everything. Offering homemade cheesecake (delicious graham cracker crust included ) and Charcuterie Board with handmade touches, is only 1 example of what makes this place magical. We stayed at #4 Riverfront with a breathtaking view of the river from our tent every morning. Rob and Sherie made us feel welcome and access to the fully equipped kitchen and coffee bar made us feel at home. The outside hot water shower is absolutely beautiful and if that isnt enuff, they offer Kayaking and tubing down the river with Golf across the road!!! With plenty to do and see, our stay didn't seem long enuff. Already planning our return trip!!!

Great spot with easy access to car, clean facilities, phenomenal communication and customer service from staff! We were able to use the electric hookup easily as well.
One downside of tent platform 1 is that it is very close to one of the cabins, so if the tenants leave the outside lights on, it can be bright at night.
Overall it was a great experience, we’ll be back!

My girlfriend and I loved our stay at Kevin's Honey Bee Cabin! The cabin was super cozy and clean. He even had us all set up with little extra stuff like a box of fire starters, a roll of paper towels, bottled water, and a free sample of honey from his farm! The firepit and picnic table were well taken care of and the grill looked brand new. The shower house was a short walk from the cabin was also clean and had hot water. He was very good at checking in with us over message and occasionally in person to see if we needed anything. We went for our 8 year anniversary and to see the lunar eclipse. It was convenient since there was a nice open field for stargazing so we had a perfect view of the eclipse! Overall a great stay, thanks Kevin for a great weekend!
