Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

Rob’s place is such a perfect getaway from the city. He’s genuinely friendly and easy to talk to, and made the whole stay feel really comfortable. I’d been wanting to visit for over two years, and finally got the chance to stay at his cabin. The gardens and scenery are beautiful, and the little decorations scattered around the property are gorgeous! Definitely take time to see the main house. It’s filled with all kinds of interesting trinkets he’s collected. Walking through the hallway lined with his art and getting to see him painting in his studio was really cool! Looking forward to coming back!

The directions Robert gave guided us well. The house grounds had beautiful gardens and paths. Upon arrival, Robert's friend greeted us, told us Robert is a full-time artist and offered to let us tour the house and studio the next day. We were only interested in a secluded nature experience, so we followed them down the path that led to our campsite. They took us as far as the creek and pointed over a two foot wide wooden plank bridge, telling us our site was across it and up a few more minutes along a trail. The bridge wobbled as we walked across, and the trail past the bridge was overgrown with raspberry bushes. Our site had a bit of trash on the ground, but we were happy to find a picnic table with benches which we hadn't known it would have. Robert's friend kindly allowed us to pull our car into the driveway of the unoccupied teepee site for temporary unloading. I was glad the teepee was not rented because it turned out to be visible from our site. The bathrooms were located right by the house and were very clean, though one was missing toilet paper, which they replaced in the morning. To avoid being around other people, we would have preferred to use the outhouse, but we never did find it. The best part was the exquisite, perfect temperature creek, which we walked in for as long as we could. I had hoped to be able to hear it from the tent, but we couldn't. We were grateful that Robert's friend never bothered us during our stay and we had our solitary nature experience.

This place is truly so special. My boyfriend and I spent the weekend at Site 1 (Secluded Wildlife Paradise) and it was awesome. Robert was super nice, his home is absolutely gorgeous and he was so welcoming. The bathroom facilities were good too, if you’re used to camping without a bathroom like we are, the option of even having a warm shower is awesome! Truly beautiful property, and felt very safe at all times when we were camping there. It was a great weekend!
