Uncle B’s place was fabulous! He is so welcoming and shared not only fresh eggs but also free s’mores fixings and a smattering of firewood. It was fun meeting all the kittens, puppies and poultry and the sunset and sunrise were spectacular. Appreciated the clean showers and restrooms too.

First, the good stuff: this place was SO COOL. Jamin has taken what would look to most people like a totally inaccessible ravine and turned it into a gorgeous campsite that’s in the treetops even though you actually go down to enter it. The tent itself is cozy for 2 but waterproof (we were grateful to stay totally dry during overnight rain) and came with a comfy camping mattress and two pillows. A cooler of water was a nice touch and light strings made it welcoming and the path clear. And the shower is a really creative addition - who puts a shower on a little wooden platform over a ravine?

Jamin was also really great to communicate with.

My main concern is just safety. The platform needs a railing since one side of it drops off at least 8 or 10 feet. And the stairway is carefully built but really really steep, with loose earth all around and under it. If you book, be aware that it’s an adventure getting down there. That said, we had no problem and thought it was totally fun and worth it, a very memorable experience. I’d just hate for someone to get hurt.

Melinda made my son (traveling alone at 18) feel super welcomed and taken care of. He really appreciated the great place to stay.
