Each cabin offers a comfortable space to rest, while the shared outdoor areas give you room to gather, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. This is a place where the sunrises and sunsets are incredible, the air feels different, and the pace naturally slows down.

1 night at 🌲 Black Lake Overlook Retreat

Black Lake Overlook Retreat is a different kind of an experience. This is a private camp, one site only. For this camper it was at the end of the season and an abrupt turn to Fall. The entire area of the terrace has a layer of chips on the ground for softer and more even ground including where the tent is. With weather changing to cold it was so nice to have cooking stove, BBQ grill right there. I've never seen a pellet stove at a camp site, and it certainly adds to aesthetics. Great for warming your hands too. It rained the entire night outside of the tent, yet no leaks. A potty hut, or honey bucket if you will, is on site. it was very clean and no smells. A fire extinguisher was outside of it along with another unit by the outdoor kitchen. Many thoughtful touches such a glittering glass lantern shown here, Inside the tent was a cot which kept me off the ground on a cold night. Kara has put together the most comprehensive welcome kit I've ever seen in my decades of all types of camping. Included inside the tent were books, crayons for coloring and post cards specific to this Hipcamp site. That last detail is meaningful to me as I have a collection posted on my fridge of many of America's finest which I've visited and also send to my siblings. Would love to return to this retreat. It's as if it was prepared just for you...and well, it is.

Weekend Trip to 🌲 Black Lake Overlook Retreat

My son and I had a great, quiet weekend here. Everything was as described. There was a gas camp chef, a charcoal grill, a great quality tent that was very clean inside and ready for us when we got there. The outhouse was far enough away that there is no concern for smells creeping into the campsite and it was clean, anyway. Lots of adorable wildlife. We were thrilled to hear multiple owls at night. I would recommend bringing some sort of space heater if you're there during the Fall (and maybe early Spring) as it got into the 40s at night. We were also very excited to wake up to a perfect view of an inversion of the lake during sunrise. The views were amazing. We loved it. I definitely intend on booking this campsite with my other son at some point in the relative near future.

Weekend Trip to 🌲 Black Lake Overlook Retreat

I camped out at this lovely site for two nights with my sons, and we enjoyed every minute! The simple-yet-elegant amenities, combined with the site's location and atmosphere, allow for a perfect balance of comfort and solitude. The convenience of a pre-assembled, family sized tent, cooking stations, and a wood pellet stove enabled us to set up quickly and allowed for minimal distractions in disconnecting from civilization and becoming immersed in nature. My sons particularly enjoyed the hiking trails carved out of the hillside and the our wonderful host's generous offer to explore their property. I particularly enjoyed the breathtaking, panoramic views of Black Lake and its surrounding verdant countryside, and the quiet serenity of nature far removed from anything urban. The hammock provided beneath the primary campsite was a great way to enjoy these sensory wonders in comfort. Another wonderful highlight was the majestic night sky, unfettered by any nearby light pollution, and the candlelit ambience of the low wattage solar powered lights fencing the site perimeter. Kara was a very gracious host, and she answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. 10/10, would highly recommend. I plan on returning with my wife for a romantic getaway sometime soon!

Again, what an experience! The location is phenomenal, the weather was perfect, and having the canoe and paddleboards available to use made our stay even better. Matt and Tamara even took us out on their pontoon boat, which was such a fun and unexpected addition to an already amazing weekend! This was our third year booking with them, and there’s a reason we keep coming back. We’ll absolutely be back next year!

1 night at 🌲 Black Lake Overlook Retreat

We had such a memorable stay at Kara's Black Lake Overlook Retreat! So much work has gone into carving out this sweet camp spot on a terrace nestled into the side of the mountain with spectacular views. It was the perfect balance of conveniences (large tent you can stand up in, great three burner camp stove with fuel, super clean porta potty, tables and chairs, hammock) and simplicity (we like it to feel like camping, and that we are spending time in our natural surroundings!) which made our stay so peaceful and relaxing. It's not often that we get to slow down and be away from the distractions of every day life without a lot of planning and preparation involved. The set up there made it so easy for us to plan a last minute getaway. I've never seen such thorough and clear information about what to expect and what to explore when there. The owners have clearly poured their hearts into this project and we feel lucky to be one of the first to experience it. We enjoyed paddle on the lake and had it all to ourselves. We played cribbage, had epic star viewing and felt we discovered a hidden gem.

The bark outside the tent really helped reduce the dust that can easily kick up at a campsite. This helped keep out area clean & dust free around our gear.

Weekend Trip to 🌲 Black Lake Overlook Retreat

I want to start off this review by kindly disagreeing with the description of the property. In their welcome kit they describe The Terrace as "it isn’t luxury, and we don’t really want it to be. It’s intentionally simple". Much like beauty is in the eye of the beholder & so is what we see as luxurious. True - this isn't the Hilton of campgrounds but I found this to be one of the most well thought out sites we've stayed at. Not only are the hosts two of the kindest people, they really did carve out a little slice of heaven up here. The photos don't quite capture how peaceful & beautiful our stay was. Our chance to connect as a family was made possible because of The Terrace. It's cozy enough to keep everyone close but spacious enough for two queen mattresses to nestle into the tent & the abundance of seating options was a bonus. My only regret about this weekend is that we didn't stay two nights. I cannot wait to visit again & tell all our friends that we had the pleasure of being the first family campers at The Terrace. I highly recommend making your next family vacation or weekend date night to be at The Terrace. *** You & your family will LOVE camping here ***

Amazing place to stay! 5 stars for the view ♥️ The hill to get to the cabin is steep so be careful

3 nights at Chocolate Moose Waterfront Chapel

Whimsical and cozy spot by the lake! Great outdoor kitchen set up. Very attentive and accommodating owners-Matt & Tamara went above and beyond. Loved the paddle boards and kayak available. Lawn area and fire pit are wonderful. The water isn’t swimable right off the campsite (too many reeds), that’s a bit of a bummer, but it’s easy to paddle out to where you can swim, and the lake as a whole really is beautiful, not a lot of boating traffic. Chapel sleeping arrangements are tiny by comfy. Both the cabin and chapel were spotless and bug free. The little driveway was pretty steep—people with limited mobility would definitely struggle—but it’s not too long of a path. Overall we loved it and would come back again!

The cabin was very quiet and secluded. Had everything you want. We stayed there for a short hunting trip and it was perfect. Thanks

Weekend Trip to White Pine Flats Ranch

Great little spot - cozy and just what we needed for an overnight near WSU. The owners had everything warmed up for us when we got there, it was so nice to come into a cozy space during the cold month of October. We also got a quick peek at the horses and sheep in the morning which was fun! Thank you for making things cozy.

Such a great little place to stay! Hosts were quick to respond to any messages and the cabin had absolutely everything we could have needed! (Coffee, hair dryer, kitchen necessities, even shampoo and toothbrushes!). We would highly recommend❤️❤️

What an awesome experience this place was! The property is gorgeous. Matthew and his family came and greeted us upon arrival. Very nice people! There were paddle boards to take on the lake, firewood all stocked up, and even had a black stone hooked up to the grill. Property was clean and well kept. Definitely will be coming back as we got engaged here!
