The Canvas Cabin

Fireside Fairytale at Acorn Trail

Robert’s Canvas Cabin on the Acorn Trail was everything you need for a relaxing night in the wilderness. Robert was super accommodating with our late arrival (10pm!) and even had the fire pit built up with wood ready to be lit when we arrived. The four post bed was whimsical while having a comfortably soft(but supportive) mattress. There were books available to thumb through (that Robert also sells in his gift shop, Peninsulas) and an entire table of amenities. There was a Coleman propane lantern, a water cooler filled with ice cold water(with drinking glasses), and an assortment of toiletries including bug spray, wipes, pads & tampons and sunscreen! The Canvas Cabin is secluded down a path, but don’t worry about carrying your stuff, Robert provides an easy to use cart to do the lugging. Flushable portapotty was clean and easy to use and private on the back deck of the platform where the tent is erected. Best of all was checking out the gift shop before we left where we met Robert’s wonderful mother, chatted about the area and even got to pet their French Bulldog Chester who was a whirlwind of puppy energy. 11/10 would stay here again!

The Canvas Cabin

A very beautiful camp! I enjoyed the layout and craftsmanship of the place; though I didn’t use the fire pit, it is well suited for cooking and the usual fire-gazing. A comfortable bed with only screens between me and the woods, what could be better?

The Canvas Cabin

Great place and rest and recharge! The host provided all the supplies you would need (except I would have loved some hand sanitizer but I had some along so it was no problem). Very clean on the inside. We did see one mouse when we first arrived but he did not make a second appearance. The bed was so comfortable and the host was very easy to reach!

The canvas cabin was great and an extraordinary experience . Although I did feel uncomfortable while trying to settle in, as there was three people standing, watching me from the street.

Camping in the woods!

Robert picked up our request at 5pm the night of due to some incoming storms that ruined our initial camping plans. The set up was perfect. Very spacious waterproof tent with mosquito netting all around to keep all the critters out. We were surprised by the really cool campfire set up out front with wood available to use. Was a nice private retreat for the night and would definitely camp there again if we are back in the area

Great place to stay

We had a great time! The bed and tent were very comfortable. The property felt safe, and secluded, while being only a few minutes from town. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family :) Perfect for anyone wanting a casual camping/glamping experience.
