Romantic

Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

We moved to our 3 1/2 acre property in 2012 to escape town life and to enjoy a more simple family life. Nestled among the trees, our home is the perfect setting to relax and enjoy what God created - singing birds, fragrant flowers, colorful sunsets, gigantic ancient sycamores, and rushing creek waters. We're excited to share this beautiful area, especially the adorable shed and gardens we created for others to experience the peace of God. It's our hope that many will discover the tranquility we have come to appreciate here. Learn more about this land: The Shed Retreat is a sacred space for anyone looking to shed their worries, fears, and busy schedules. Once a home for goats located in a secluded area on our property, it is now a peaceful garden oasis among the trees for those seeking a break from the norm. Inside, you can enjoy a cozy and relaxing place to lounge or rest. Outside, you can spend time around the fire pit, collect fresh eggs for breakfast, kayak on a nearby river, bike to local ice cream shops, or take a nap in a hammock.The Shed Retreat is a sacred space for anyone looking to shed their worries, fears, and busy schedules.

The courtyard, as I call it, is the first area you see. It is very peaceful. The landscaping makes it feel very welcoming. The court yard is fully shaded so that was nice in the heat of the day. Wood was provided so we lit a small fire and roasted marshmallows. The Shed is also peaceful and cozy. And smelled fresh. The bed was very comfortable. The air-conditioning kept the Shed at a comfortable temp, day and night. We enjoyed the warm water of the outdoor shower. The robes, towels and wash clothes smelled fresh and were very soft. It was great having a microwave available for our use. We only stayed one night so we didn't really need the fridge and other cooking resources. But it's a great amenity as needed for longer stays. We highly recommend a stay at The Shed! Our friends may take a retreat here. And we will likely come again. Thank you Kurt and Heidi!

The Shed was so beautiful. It was quaint, peaceful and a nice change of pace. We explored all over town. The Shed had everything you would need and the hosts were always responsive and welcoming. The little kitty was such a sweetheart too which only added to the greatness of the stay. I would definitely stay again!

Such a special peaceful place! Full of thoughtful gestures to help you feel right at home, I was blown away. You can sit by the creek, enjoy fresh eggs, pet cats, and stay cozy inside. Would love to come back one day!

Lovely Place to Recharge

What a gem! Heidi and Kurt have created an oasis of a retreat in a beautiful setting. A rustic place to stay with modern comforts. We were welcomed with amazing peanut butter chocolate muffins - they were perfect with the coffee supplied for the morning, sitting on the porch watching the day unfold. The prior evening we enjoyed dinner in town at MainView and made a campfire at the site. The outdoor lighting added coziness. The two kittens are the cutest and sweetest! The entire property is beautiful and we only wished we were able to stay longer.

I thoroughly enjoyed everything during my stay, Kurt and Heidi were kind and thoughtful hosts, I was traveling solo, they extended an invite to Easter services at their church, It was a beautiful service and I felt welcomed. The space is comfortable, the bed perfect. The space heater kept everting cozy. I enjoyed the firepit and collecting fresh eggs for breakfast. I will definitely be a return visitor. Looking forward to kayaking.
