Site 3 Mountain View Cabin

Wow! The view of Hogback Mountain from this cabin was amazing! This is a cozy little cabin that was a perfect getaway for us 4 friends. We enjoyed the woodstove and the sauna.

Shawn was an outstanding host and the property was gorgeous. The location was perfectly isolated yet still only a few minutes away from camping trails and other attractions. We had some bad weather roll in our second night and Shawn graciously offered us his cabin which was also amazing. We would 100% come back here again for another trip!

Site 3 Mountain View Cabin

My boyfriend and I had an absolute blast at Shawn's Rustic camp and will be returning this winter! The cabin is cozy, private, and had more to offer than we anticipated. Water was provided, the cabin had lights, a cooking stove and a TV that ran of propane. The Outhouse was clean and only 20 feet from the cabin, and a sauna that we plan to utilize next time. Shawn himself was awesome! He shared some of the history of his 100 year old family camp, played us a nice tune on his guitar, and brought us donuts the following morning. Not only did we find our new little getaway, but we found a new friend. Couldn't recommend the location enough!
