Sonny Hills-Cabin
Genuinely the best experience I’ve had on HipCamp, AirBnB, anything. They are seriously the most accommodating, kind, humble, and helpful hosts I’ve ever had. I can’t say enough good about these two people. The cabin and the camping spots were so clean, well maintained, and roomy. The land is gorgeous. We will be back for sure.

We had an amazing time camping here! The host not only provided firewood, but also went above and beyond by building a fire for us while we were setting up out tent at dusk. So kind and welcoming! The property was beautiful, peaceful, and very well maintained. It felt like the safest place I've ever camped!! Would highly recommend this site!!

Spent the weekend tent camping. It was perfect! The owners were great. The land is beautiful and very dog friendly. The porta potty was very clean. This will be one of my favorites. So peaceful.

Jennifer and John were amazing hosts! They were available whenever there were questions and the site was wonderful. Having more than enough room for a large group was a benefit and access to the pond and any firewood that was needed was a bonus. The porta potty was one of the cleanest I've seen and was close to the site. The site is about a 15 minute drive to the Garden of the Gods recreation area which is great as you are close by but not on top of a crowd of people. We camped with adults, a child, and a dog and everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend booking a trip to Sonny Hill and would love to come stay with Jennifer and John again in the future.

Sonny Hills Tent 2
The property is absolutely beautiful. We had some luck fishing and enjoyed the pond. The hosts are very attentive if you should need anything. The delivery of firewood was much appreciated! You are within 20 minutes of just about anything you want. There is some road noise, but not terrible.

Flat soft ground, gorgeous property, super nice hosts. And the cleanest porta potty I've ever seen. Location is great - 10 minute drive to Garden of the Gods.

We have camped all over the country and this was hands down our favorite. The hosts are so kind and make sure you are comfortable and cared for. The property is stunning and perfect location to town or hiking trails. We are already missing the quiet and the peaceful view of the pond and trees. We highly recommend staying here and make sure to allow yourself time to enjoy the pond and property. They give you wood for fires and it burns better than what you get at normal parks. There is a kayak, paddleboard, row boat, fishing poles. This place truly has it all. 100% recommend them and hope to visit again soon.

What a great place to stay. Jennifer thought of everything. Nice towels, flashlights for the very dark nights, well equipped kitchen and a great selection of movies and games. The cabin was very clean and the shower was amazing. I highly recommend this location.

Jennifer and John were great hosts! They would stop by to chat while still giving us privacy. John always made sure we had enough firewood and even brought the firewood to our site each day. It was very peaceful and relaxing camping by the pond. I would definitely camp here again. I would also highly recommend Sonny Hills for any solo female camper.

The friendliest hosts. Beautiful camping spot on the lake. Immaculate. Plus a great home base to explore the Shawnee. All with very friendly wolfhounds and of course Bill. We wholeheartedly recommend it! Jason and Paula

I loved my night here! I felt totally safe (solo female traveler) and my small dog found heaven. It is beautiful and peaceful. The hosts could not be better. It was magic and so close to great hiking. Everybody should be lucky enough to stay here. I tent camped, but there was also a cabin option that looked fantastic.

This stop was a treat. Nothing will beat the site of 5 Irish Wolfhounds and Bill welcoming your car. The hosts were super accommodating and friendly. Had a great time getting to know them. Brautiful spot!

Sonny Hills is a great getaway, close to all attractions without the traffic. The cabin was very clean, the grounds were quiet, all the amenities you need. Cozy and comfortable. I would recommend this site to any one and would definitely use it again if in the area. Friendly hosts greeted us with their beautiful dogs.

My husband and I loved Sunny Hills! Jennifer and John were welcoming and accommodating. Their guide book was helpful, we even went ziplining because of the recommendations. The lodge was quaint and included everything you'd need for an extended weekend stay. We will definitely be returning.

Enjoyed staying at Jennifer’s! Directions were clear to locate the area. She greeted us upon arrival with her beautiful dogs and shared with us everything we needed to know. Brought us firewood and was very considerate on if we needed to be in a different area given rain chance and field conditions. Property was clean and well maintained. We camped in our car. Enjoyed the scenic pond and surrounding woods. A little road noise but still plenty far enough from the main road. Would stay here again!

I stayed in the cabin and I will absolutely return! Clean, cozy, and perfect for a weekend away. Jennifer was quick to respond and created a welcoming home for my visit. Close location to so many trails and activities. Perfect for one, a couple, or a family! 10/10 and 5 stars!

Jennifer’s cabin is a perfect getaway. It has every amenity you could want! We got some surprise snow during our stay so the fireplace was perfect for our stay along with some games and movies.
I can’t wait to come back in the spring and fall to get some use out of the hot tub, grill, and fire pit.
