Perfect site for primitive camping!! Falling asleep to the sounds of the creek is an excellent experience and the hosts, Steve and His Wife are very pleasant and make a mean breakfast. Definitely recommend the swimming hole !!

Quiet and serene

My boyfriend and I loved staying on Steve's property! We loved having our own personal part of a river to fall asleep to. Whether we were lounging in our hammocks or cooking this property was so peaceful and serene yet still close enough to major stores for our inevitable walmart run. My only regret is we didn't bring fishing poles! Steve was so friendly and welcoming and we are so thankful for him and his wife's hospitality.

Absolutely loved the peacefulness of Steve's land. The sound of the creek flowing at night really put me to sleep. Great place to swim too. Highly recommended to others.

Water has a great flow and sound. Very relaxing. Would be so nice in the summer. Easy to get to and feels much further out than it is. I enjoyed my short stay. Thanks for sharing!

This spot was awesome! Big space with tons of water. Please don’t go, we want to keep it to ourselves!
