3 nights at Fall Water Farm

This little cabin was a nice retreat away from home for a few days. Having bedding provided was a nice touch and the bed is very comfortable. The parking is not far from the cabin (maybe 50-100ft) and the driveway was even plowed very shortly after a few inches of snow fell during my stay. There’s a fair amount of yard space available, great for playing in the snow this time of year, and the steam right outside the cabin door is a pretty sight and sound every time you exit. This cabin is also perfect for anyone who doesn’t like dealing with a wood stove to keep warm, instead a gas radiator controlled by a digital thermostat keeps the cabin warm exactly how you like it, a very surprising but much appreciated bonus I found out after arriving. Overall, this cabin was fantastic, warm, and cozy, and I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for somewhat easy cabin camping in the winter.

The cabin sits in it's own clearing in the woods.

Staying in Oma’s cabin was beautiful. The cabin feels handmade down to the smallest detail. You can feel the hosts’ Erin and Philip’s care in everything about the place. Excellent kitchen set up with everything necessary to cook meals and clean up. The stove kept the cabin warm and comfortable when it was cold and windy outside. Luna the dog came by to say hi. Fire pit is great for having a fire under the stars. Walking distance to a great hiking trail. Really just a perfect off-grid cabin in the woods.

Staying at Oma's Cabin was a wonderful experience! My girlfriend and I had great time making food, getting cozy, and eating by the fire. The location is beautiful and the provided amenities were so convenient. Make sure to hike Haystack Mountain while you're there! Crazy views!

Frank and Julie were the picture of hospitality! They were engaging to talk to, so curious about our lives, kind, and great at checking in about miscellaneous needs we might have (like do we have enough camp supplies, etc). The Studio is so precious as is the beautiful gravel road their property is on, their sweet lab, Skye, and the stars at night! I loved this getaway -- thanks Frank and Julie

Oma's cabin is an amazing off grid retreat to completely unplug and reset! Very well maintained with everything you need aside from food! And well you can head to Mach's for anything food related, you won't be disappointed! This spot will be on rotation hopefully for years to come! Thanks again for the great weekend!

1 night at Quentins Treehouse

Our night spent at Quentin’s treehouse was beyond phenomenal. Pictures don’t do the treehouse and the view justice and Quentin truly went above and beyond as a host! From helping us start a fire to coffee in the morning, to the thoughtfully available items such as an extra sleeping bag and cookware on site, I can’t recommend this Hipcamp enough. Without a doubt my favorite I’ve ever stayed at!

Weekend Trip to Quentins Treehouse

After reading the reviews and seeing the pictures, I wanted to have a one night getaway here for my birthday. Little did I know it would turn into something beautiful. My boyfriend and I booked this place a few months ago, and as a surprise, my bf had contacted Quentin about setting up a romantic evening for when we got there. Quentin was beyond accommodating! It turned out he would be out of town so he had his friend help out, which was super sweet! When we got there, it was magical! They setup the fire pit, candles everywhere, rose petals, they had a clawfoot tub converted into a hot tub out by the lake, a little table with chairs on the deck, wine, sparkling water - it was beyond. Thank you so much Quentin and Bridget for setting up the most amazing getaway for us! It was our first getaway as a couple and we couldn’t be more grateful for your hospitality and thoughtfulness. Mission (beyond) accomplished! We definitely will be back! -Wade and Sara ❤️

Weekend Trip to Quentins Treehouse

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon Quentins Treehouse a couple months back, we knew it was the getaway we desired. She obviously knew about the trip, but what she didnt know, was behind the scenes, Quentin and his friend Birgit assisted me in making the time much more than just a getaway, that made a memory for my girlfriend and I to remember for the rest of our lives. From filling up a tub with flowers and a fire underneath, to a bottle of wine and lighting up the dock. I could have asked for a better experience to celebrate my girlfriend on her birthday. We highly recommend Quentins Treehouse to anyone. He can turn the stay from just a night getaway, to a romantic abode on the lake side. Thank you again. We will return some day.

We had an amazing stay in Quentin’s treehouse. We arrived late but the instructions for arrival were clear and we found ourselves at a beautiful star lit lake. The treehouse was so cozy and we loved the hanging bed. Quentin was so friendly and it was wonderful to chat. We were also so excited about the paddle boards and got to explore the lake. Overall a beautiful experience and we hope to come back.

Definitely picture perfect on the water. It rained a good portion of our time, but the inside was cozy and dry and loved watching the storms from treehouse. Bed was very comfortable, felt like I was in a hammock swinging...a must stay...

We had such a great time camping. The treehouse is amazing and made us feel so close to nature. My husband was thrilled because he caught a rainbow trout! We’d definitely love to come back again. The hosts are super friendly and welcoming.

Before diving back into the grind, we snuck away for one last summer retreat—and the Studio delivered. Secluded yet convenient: It felt like cabin camping, but with real home comforts (think hot showers and no hole-digging required). The Studio was 15 minutes from a supermarket, 5 minutes from a local market, and just 3 minutes from fresh eggs and frozen meat that made our mouths water. Natural entertainment: We nibbled wild blackberries along the property trails, stepped into the barrel sauna for a sweat session with a hit of aromatherapy bliss (ahhh), and watched flames dance in the fire pit while stars twinkled overhead. Mornings came with surround-sound birdsong and a picture window framing trees doing their best shimmy show. Hospitable hosts: Missing camping skills? No problem—the hosts had us covered. They shared spot-on local recommendations tailored to our interests and left thoughtful surprises (which we’ll let you discover for yourself). This place definitely earned a spot on our repeat list.

Wow! We spent a magical 3 nights in this lakeside treehouse. Woke up each morning inhaling the fresh air breeze through the fully screened treehouse and beautiful views of the lake right from bed. We had fun using the stand up paddleboards to explore the lake, jumped off the dock and went for swims and floats, snuggled up on the hammock for an afternoon nap in the sun. To my delightful surprise there was also a wood fired outdoor soaking tub which I was most excited about! We enjoyed hot tub star-gazing at night and even saw shooting stars! Wildlife watching was nice too: spotting a bald eagle perched in a tree on the property and early morning otter swims right in front of the dock! Quentin has thoughtfully stocked the firepit area and we made good used of the provided iron pans, grates, skewers etc to cook full meals and desserts over the campfire coals each night. He had plenty of firewood on site available for purchase. Quentin was also a warm host and greeted us with delicious cappuccinos in the mornings which was a very nice touch. Thanks for sharing your space with us Quentin! We enjoyed a much needed relaxing getaway in this unique treehouse. We hope to return.
