We're Ben, Trinh, Camille, and Sage. We purchased this 12 acres in Fall '20 as a way to share our love of the outdoors with our friends and family. As time went on, we noticed a need in making outdoor activities more accessible and inclusive to those outside our network. Rooted Timbers was created with the intention of making it easier for you to disconnect from business and connect with stillness.

Gorgeous views
The property is beautiful. They had 3-4 sites & all were a distance from each other giving everyone privacy. Hiking trails are well maintained & contained several stopping points along the way to enjoy the river or the forest. We enjoyed our morning coffee in the chairs provided by the river. It was nice to unplug & enjoy beauty.

Ben’s spot is a perfect and easy little getaway. Everything was simple and very well communicated. We had a great stay and the creek on the grounds was completely soothing.

Woods river camping
The land was great. Private camping spots for our tow behind small camper. With trails to explore and on a river bend making a pretty view. Has glamping tents on property to rent as well. Our site was a primitive camp site with a fire pit and portable toilet to use. It is in the woods so have bug spray. Beautiful noises of the crickets and frogs as we slept.

Beautiful spot! Easy to find and check in. Space is well maintained and peaceful, with plenty of firewood. Enjoyed walking down to the river in the morning!

Well-kept site about a 2 minute walk to the river, where some deck chairs await you and your morning coffee. Ben has mowed some trails around the property which are a nice way to explore the woods comfortably. Theis site has a picnic table and fire ring, and plenty of room to spread out a few tents or campers. There are a few other camping options on the property but we hardly noticed them from ours.

Waking up in a field of butterflies
Spotted a beaver in the river & woke up to hundreds of butterflies & abundant bird song on this gorgeous piece of land! Very private & the kind, communicative hosts provided more than enough fire wood for two night's stay. Loved using the firepit cooking rack. Tent was comfortable & had a fan for the heat- but was slightly less "glampy" than we expected from the photos-- there isn't a french press (or a candelabra). There are extra blankets & a couple games & a makeshift cooking station at the firepit that had some foil /hand sanitizer/ lighter fluid and a "community kitchen" by the dome across a little foot bridge with well water running to a sink for dish washing. *Must bring in own drinking water!* River access is down a slippery, steep embankment and a small ladder that required climbing with hands, feet & full attention-- not the easiest spot to dip in & out throughout the day & would be difficult for folks with limited agility/balance/mobility. Overall a lovely stay and next time we would love to take them up on their kayak offer!
