This started as a 1920s log cabin that burnt down decades ago. The foundation and fireplace survived but needed restoration!

Cat's Camp

Little slice of heaven

Vince was a responsive and polite host. We communicated over Hipcamp chat and any questions were answered quickly. The camp itself is beautiful, private, but still easily accessible. I will certainly be back. 10/10 definitely recommend.

The campsite had everything we needed for the perfect balance of cozy and rustic. The directions to get down to the campsite were clear, and we had most everything we needed to cook up a delicious feast. It's also conveniently close to a lot of nature trails.

Cat's Camp

Perfect family getaway

Vince's place was just what we were looking for! It is rustic and yet, also fully quipped with everything you could ever need to make a wonderful nature getaway. We loved the open air kitchen design with the beautiful stone fireplace and comfy rocking chair. It was also perfectly shaded for our high temp days... and the setup of the outdoor table has a divine air flow. We opted to cook our dinner over the adjustable open fire pit off that sits along the grass line. Our kids loved setting the slide up on the grassy hill as my husband dumped buckets of cold fresh spring water on their heads. The spring house was awesome and we all took a morning cold plunge in the fresh water. The swings and toys were perfect... frog hunting in the pond and exploring the area. Good thing we had the bunk house because it unexpectedly rained pretty hard during the night and we were perfectly dry and safe from the elements. Be aware though, rain on that tin roof is loud! If it were our place, the one thing we would re-think was the toilet setup (currently a handicap toilet commode) Off grid toilets are a tricky thing to navigate anyhow... But I think we would dig a pit and set up an outhouse with sawdust, etc. Its really no big deal but the only thing I would give a "heads up" to others about. We couldn't have asked for a better stay and will definitely be back!

Cat's Camp

Camp was very peaceful and secluded. You can sit and enjoy hearing the creek that’s located on the property and the abundant birds. Nothing more relaxing than sitting in front of a fire and hearing nothing more than the comfort of nature. Even being in the cold season the bunkhouse was very warm.
