3 nights at Cabin and Barn on 20 Peaceful Acres

We had such a relaxing time! The cabin was perfect for the 5 of us and it had all the amenities we needed. We loved the lights around the campsite, and the kids took over the loft area in the cabin! Having a nice bathroom and the kitchen area just enhanced the stay! The highlight was enjoying the sweet kitties that spent time with us! It was a perfect little getaway!

Weekend Trip to The Cynefin Luxury Safari Tent

Great spot in nature, cozy tent which kept us nice and dry when it stormed. The host’s home is visible which wasn’t a problem, but worth noting. Love that it was well stocked, we had a lovely stay and would come back. Thank you!

We enjoyed this stay, it was a beautiful location and a fun little cabin. Would stay here again if I’m through the area.

2 nights at Rolling Ridge Stays

I truly enjoyed my stay here! Everything out it was what I wanted! It had all the amenities of camping, and a comfortable bed & shelter! I described it as “camping - light”. They had all the cooking gear I needed. I can’t explain how much joy this cozy cabin brought me :)

1 night at Rolling Ridge Stays

Beautiful and well appointed cabin, looking out onto a small lake with a resident heron. Communicative and responsive hosts. We would love to go back and try one of the other cabins for a future stay.
