So so beautiful at night. There was a barn which was great so I could avoid the wind. John was an incredible host and I felt very safe.

I’ve now visited twice, once at each site! I will continue to come here too.
The bathroom is an outhouse and it’s nice for an outhouse! Much better than a porter potty, uses natural cedar instead of chemicals and controls any smells. Stocked with hand sanitizer, paper towels, and TP.
There’s wood for sale and it’s very reasonable. Sorry y’all, I did tell the host he’s giving us too much of a deal on wood and should charge more haha
Site one is great if you have a smaller party and the view on the hill is so dang peaceful.
Site two is huge and in a field that’s fully fenced in which is great for letting the dogs run loose.
Great fire pits and picnic tables.

Another great stay here! The night sky is incredible and we love being able to allow our dogs to enjoy the space off leash. Hope to be back again.

Great spot! Gorgeous. We stayed in site 1 which has incredible stars views. The outhouse was super clean, one of the cleanest I have ever experienced. The spot still has cell service. We had a blast and Jon was friendly and helpful. :) Aside from some distant doggies, crazy quiet at night.
