Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
James landed on the property in 2009, built a small barn and milked 3 cows for 3 years. Then, started planting trees,gardening the hillsides. He married in 2015 and has three Daughters with Sofi, originally from Sweden. Together they manage a botanically interesting hobby hill farm and are happy to host travelers and seekers in their cabins. Hilltop was a joint project that James built in 2012 with a talented woodworker and friend in 6 months of saturday for less than $5k. We have maintained the original vibe of the place, rustic simplicity and elegance a notch or two above glamping, well-described by the zen koan, "chop wood, carry water" Orchard House was built entirely by James from the block up to the roof, averaging 1 hour/day for 3 years or 1,000 hours. Some of the Hilltop photos are a bit dated, we have a more private outhouse behind the cabin, and have made a few improvements here and there. Reach out anytime for any reason ! We really like hosting and nearly everyone enjoys their stay.

Hilltop Cabin at Raven Ridge
Highly recommend!!
Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful place! The family is so nice! I ended up waking up to a flat and James was kind enough to help me swap out to spare and point me in right direction for another tire. I highly recommend it! Me and the family will definitely be coming back!!

Hilltop Cabin at Raven Ridge
Great spot! Nice and quiet. The property is beautiful and it was just what we wanted to a quiet get away. The little heater worked so well we didn’t even have to light the wood stove and we had flurries one morning. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise!
