My boyfriend and I stayed with 2 dogs and it was truly an awesome and secluded getaway. We had free range to walk the property (great views), and the Smithy was so nice and cozy. We brought a space heater and it made the cabin even cozier. The outdoor shower (with hot water!) was an added perk too. Everything was clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back!

Amazing place! So incredibly secluded..one might say it’s even clothing optional ;-) Between the expanse of land to explore, the gorgeous pond to swim in every day, and the blackberries/blueberries to pick, it was truly a magical time! It had all of the necessary amenities for a sweet glamping experience- AND THE SHOWER!! The outdoor shower with the forest view was supreme! Loved it. Will definitely be back :)

A beautiful and affordable stay! The hosts were wonderful, we (the dogs and I) had the whole property to ourselves. Checked out the local conscience store/sandwich shop they recommended and it was excellent. There’s electricity but no heat so I brought a small space heater with me for the chilly nights, it worked great for the space! The dogs loved the pond and all the land to run on. The cabin was very cozy. Thank you Sydney for making this a beautiful and affordable place to stay. It was amazing, we will definitely be back!
