    This was our second time staying on Shauna’s land. I cannot say enough about what a fantastic and attentive host she is. Her land is so well kept and gorgeous. It’s a great spot to float or kayak down the river, or just stargaze at the site while you hear the sound of the river behind you. Plenty of firewood for the whole weekend on site. Can’t wait to come back.

    What an incredible gem with an amazing host! Shauna was unbelievably helpful keeping us updated on the weather (as it was stormy thoughout our stay) and was very quick to respond if we had any questions! She had a blazing fire going when we arrived at camp, a beautiful display of flowers on the picnic table, and respected our dogs space by keeping her two very nice pups up at the house! We had a fantastic time tent camping and falling asleep to the sounds of the river. The river is filled with jumping trout and there were tons of birds (including eagles) flying overhead. We enjoyed paddling around in our kayaks and swimming with our dogs. The site was remarkably not buggy at all…. just some house flies but not really any mosquitos which we couldn’t believe! Very secluded and gorgeous spot, our time was cut short due to thunderstorms but we cannot wait to come back! Thanks again Shauna for being a great host and sharing your amazing property!!
