Romantic

Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

This land has been asking to be shared. First it was swings and little things for the grandchildren and their friends. Then the Cabin by the pond began to welcome visitors. Soon the steep slope anchored a Yurt with a wrap-around deck that puts you up in the trees. Our gathering spot by the creek became a camp site. Recently the grandkids' Bunk House found its way in. Our Retreat is 10 acres, narrow, but 1/4 mile deep, stretching down a steep wooded slope to a creek - and up the other side to the top of a bluff. It is only ten miles to Jefferson City but has a quiet and distant feel.

Mystical Yurt Floating in the Trees

The yurt is a magical place. Bill has created a haven for weary souls. I am exited to return so I can connect with the divine. Blessed be!

The Bunk House

The bunkhouse was cozy. However, it smelled of musty sweat as soon as I entered the place. Turned out it’s the beddings, particularly the pillows, smelled like they’ve been used by sweaty people and haven’t been washed. Due to the cold temperature in December, had to keep door closed with heater on (room was toasty), which probably amplified the smell. I was able to sleep only by piling all the pillows to one side of the room and by using my own sleeping bag and pillow on the bed towards the back (thankfully the blanket on that bed did not smell).

Magical Treehouse Yurt

Mystical Yurt Floating in the Trees

This magical treehouse yurt was incredible. The pros: amazing scenery and feel. The bed was heavenly. Glad there was a shower! Even the outhouse was adorable. The host was incredibly gracious with us on a personal accommodation request and I am SO grateful for that! Our stay was wonderful. The "cons": I have a big van and it was kind of difficult to get out of the parking space, so keep that in mind when driving in. Also, small thing (but feels big in the moment) was that there was no creamer for the coffee. BUT the coffee ended up being so delicious that I did not need it lol. Over all would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! Thank you so so much.

The bunk house is so cool

The Bunk House

The bunk house was a perfect weekend getaway. The heater warmed the place up perfectly and there was great lighting, outlets, and plenty of bedding. We felt so safe and comfortable. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a cabin camp night. (And If you’re really concerned about the bathroom situation there’s a few gas stations less than 10mins away)

Heaven in the Forest

Mystical Yurt Floating in the Trees

Heaven. Was super amazing and super relaxing. Bill was an amazing host and took care of everything needed. We try and do something different every trip. This was new but was worth itm secluded, peaceful and quiet.
