The gothic pod was warm and cozy.
Dave was a great host! My boyfriend and I don’t have any experience camping, and Dave was super helpful in making sure we had an enjoyable experience. We met his lovely animals, too—a cat and a dog who adored scratches. The view of the sky was amazing out there. I’d love to go back someday.


Great place to stay for those of us that want to camp but not in a tent! Clean and so easy! I hope we get to come back soon!!

Thanks Emilie! It was nice to meet you, the girls and everyone. Thanks for coming out and we'll see you next time!
Staying at the Gothic Pod was fantastic. Dave was a great host - very friendly and made us feel at home.

Thanks Ian! It was nice to meet you guys. Stop in anytime!
Was a fun little get away! Dave was a great host who made us feel welcome and wanted! Fun winter get away! Will be back in the summer!

This place is so special. Dave and his family were so hospitable and kind. We felt so welcome and comfortable. The entire property is a display of the incredible craftsmanship of the host. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend.

Thank you Mc Kenzy! It was nice to meet you and Creyton. We all look forward to sharing a campfire with you again! Dave
Dave was very kind! Great spot for families & close to Manhappiness. Sunsets are beautiful & stars ✨ are amazing! Thanks for a quick getaway from my busy life!
