RV Site 3
It was quiet and very nice. Only one other site occupied so had the place practically to our selves. Kitchen area is nice; we did not need it but is nicely setup. We came for the eclipse and skies cleared just in time!

Lovely glamping experience!
We had a great stay at the A-frame cabin! The land is really beautiful. We loved looking out over the pond from the porch in the evening and listening to all the nature sounds. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were way better than I expected. The kitchen has everything you’d need and more. Bruce was so thoughtful in making sure we had everything we’d need to be comfortable including offering us air mattresses and lanterns and showing us around so we know where everything is. Don’t expect the cabin to be fully furnished, but this is Hipcamp after all! This is a ‘glamping’ experience with a roof over your head and the luxury of having a kitchen, toilets, and showers available to you. I only wish we had more time to hang out and explore the trails around the land. The location is also great—quiet and secluded while still being a quick and easy drive to Westfield/Lake Erie. It was only us and another couple on the entire property even with the influx of eclipse visitors. Would absolutely recommend!

More Details Please
The host was very kind and communicative and the land is beautiful, but the stay here was rough. I feel the listing should have more details up front - specifically what the A-frame does and doesn’t have. There are no photos of the a frame building’s interior- it is just a roof over a wood floor and wind gets into it. No bed or electricity (fine, but I wish I would have known). Overall the property felt very occupied and not prepared for guests. I had to fish a sponge out of the dirty toilet out upon arrival in order to use it, the stove in the kitchen building wouldn’t light due to being filled with bugs and debris, dirty dishes in the sink, trash and personal stuff everywhere, et cetera. I felt the price was way too high for what you get staying here and wish I would have booked elsewhere.

Nature Lovers Camp Site
Primitive private and peaceful
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at the Nature Lovers spot.. it was a short walk to the shared kitchen/bathroom cabin, but was still extremely private. The 3 nights we stayed, we didn’t see anyone unless we wanted too. Kim and her family were lovely to talk to in the morning over coffee on the deck of the shared space. The kitchen had everything you could need and the bathroom had a shower with nice hot water! The camping spot was very primitive. But that is what we enjoy.

This is a beautiful location, and the A-frame is super cute and cozy. The listing should be updated though, as the pop-out section no longer has any netting, so when it’s opened, it’s just open to the outside (which is cool, but bugs). The windows in the A-frame help some, but it really would get uncomfortable in there in hot, sunny weather. Also, the original bed was an extremely uncomfortable tiny cot. Kim very graciously provided us with air mattresses the next night after we complained, but it wasn’t quite the get-away we were hoping for. It is a beautiful place and Kim is a great host, we’d definitely stay again, but we’d be more prepared as we’re more informed.
