We originally purchased the 20 acres of untouched land and built our cabin, the "Snug Shack," as a getaway from the city. Fast forward a few years, and 40 acres next door with an abandoned house on the canyon ridge went up for sale. We decided to purchase it and start a homestead there. That 40 acres where we now live was badly abused, and we have been in the process of cleaning up and restoring it. Fortunate for you, the land surrounding the Snug Shack was never abused and is still pristine and beautiful. By camping at the Snug Shack, you help support us in our mission to restore this beautiful place.We named our homestead after the rings of small oak trees that grow here on the ridge.: "Oak Ring Ridge." You can learn more about our project in progress at our website and instagram account: @oak_ring_ridge

We had a wonderful time in this cabin. Although the cabin is small, it is well designed and feels much more spacious. The loft was great and the outdoor shower worked exceptionally well. The property is so peaceful and private, it was great to hang out. Hope to get back there sometime.

We had a beautiful stay. Host met us at the cabin and showed us the ropes and then we had the place + surrounding land to ourselves. The cabin is clean and cozy. So cool that it is hand-built. Got to see lightning, deer, and a wild horse run by in the morning!

Andy was a wonderful host, greeted us and walked us through the space when we arrived. It was our first time in a little A-frame cabin and this one was quite charming and loved the handmade feel to all the details! It was a wonderful retreat and reset as we were off grid. We especially loved the loft, hanging out and sleeping with the view of the sky! Absolutely would come back.

The snuck shack was indeed a snug, remote and charming stay. The host was ever so kind and accommodating. Great trails with wide open spaces for the doggies. The kitchen was well equipped and suitable staying off grid. The roof was clear corrugated so you can catch a starry night from the loft bed. Host left a walkie talkie to get in touch for any questions or needs as cell service is very limited. Wish we had time to stay longer and explore.

Naturalist paradise: encountered coyote, wild horses, golden eagle, bobcat, red-tailed hawk, western tanager, deer, amongst many other songbirds as well as a diversity of wildflowers.
Tranquil and enlivening stay, full of wild beauty. Highly recommend.

The Shasta cottage was really nice. Quiet little area and near by the hiking areas i planned to go to which is a plus. It is kind of small and has a small restroom if you’re the type of person that needs more space (that didn’t bother me much). they have everything you need with a stove and cooking utensils,etc..

If you’ve been caving before (particularly east of the Rockies or in Europe), leave your gear at home to avoid spreading white-nose syndrome for bats

Make sure you get a map for each cave you want to check out. Some caves are easy to get lost in, and not everyone can pull off being Indiana Jones

Choose your footwear wisely if you’re planning on caving. No naked ankles-- with all the rocks, it won’t be a pretty sight

Excellent place to go caving! You’ll hit the jackpot with Golden Dome cave (it glows!!) and the delicious Hopkins Chocolate cave (sadly not made of chocolate, but it has graffiti from 1892!)

The visitor’s center provides free flashlights (but they’re somewhat dim, so you might as well bring a strong one-- not a 99 cent one you pick up from the convenience store)
