We enjoyed our stay, but realized as we went in very hot weather, it did take awhile to get the camper cooled down to our comfort level. The camper was very clean, and had everything we needed- we only had to bring our food. The hot tub was top notch, the pool was very nice as well. Fishing at the lake was just a short walk, and very peaceful. We were pleased with the distance apart from other campers, in which there were only 2 others, we had a very nice space and peaceful privacy. Overall a very nice retreat, the hosts were easy to communicate with, we will lijely return again in the future!

Great spot

This was a great little spot. We had a blast glamping! The camper was clean and everything we needed. The fire pit had several comfy chairs. There was a picnic table for eating. The shared pool was fun. The private hot tub was awesome. With the detailed directions we had no problem finding it even though its a little bit hidden. Close to Carbondale for dining, shoping and tons of stuff to do. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back.

Great Glamping trip

Everything needed for camping trip with all the amenities. Host was very helpful. We had a late night issue with other noisy guests and host took care of it. Other than that one issue that was no fault of the host, the stay was perfect. We would love to come back when the pool is open for the season.

50th Birthday Celebration

The camper was older and a little outdated but very clean and well maintained. Kevin, the host, was very responsive and helpful! There were 2 other campers nearby that seemed newer(same owner). If we stay again, I would try and stay in one of the newer ones. Overall, a very nice place!
