Mystic Canyon Bungalow Cabin

I had the BEST time here. The hosts were perfect. The location was absolutely amazing and honestly I didn't want to leave. The homemade and fresh muffins and oatmeal every morning were such a nice touch. I have zero complaint about my stay and would recommend this location (anywhere on the property really! wish i could have stayed in the hobbit house it's so cool) to anyone!

Mystic Canyon Tipi Glamping for 2!

Loved Our Experience

Neat little property and experience! We stayed in the Tipi, but all of their rooms are awesome. Barbara was extremely welcoming & the muffins and oatmeal in the morning was above & beyond. We'll be staying again, but next time... Hobbit House!

Canyon Hobbit House

I love this hobbit hut!

This was such an amazing experience! Such a cute hobbit hut, I wish we stayed longer. Communication was good throughout as well. I’d love to come back next time we’re in the area! If you want a neat little experience, you should stay here!

Otzi’s Base Camp Barn

The most unique, pleasant and memorable place I’ve ever stayed. The site is stunning, not just for the views and location but for how beautifully designed and cared for it is.. Barbara does an amazing job, from the home baked muffins every morning, to the kind hospitality she offers, to the attention she pays to every inch of her property. I’ve never stayed somewhere like this and wish we had more time to soak in the entire vibe.

Canyon Hobbit House

Hobbit House!

This place was amazing! It’s the best place I’ve stayed at on hipcamp, in terms of cabin camping. The hobbit house itself is delightful, lots of fun things to discover once inside (hidden window, blacklight nightlight) and the outside door is so nicely designed, we really felt like a couple of hobbits! The community kitchen area is expansive with lots of pots/utensils to choose from and a few different stoves for cooking. And just walking around the complex is a joy, there are several other cabins connected by paths all with their own unique designs. The community shower/bathroom was great, and the hot tub felt luxurious after hiking all day. I’d highly recommend checking this place out, we’d definitely love to come back!
