Property is beautiful! We had a wonderful time. Cell service is very spotty !! but that is just what we wanted, a break from reality! close to lots of hiking and great for a weekend guys trip! Loved the cabin and the outdoor shower!!
No connectivity and no power, dense forest in every direction, exactly what we wanted. The kitchen station made for wonderfully easy meal prep and cleanup, the rainwater shower cool and refreshing after hiking, the campfire site tailor-made for relaxation, and the cabin more than spacious.

Beautiful property! Challenges could be easily fixes.
The property was incredibly. The children loved exploring and having the space to ourselves.
Our only challenges were that when we arrived at the verified time the space was a mess. Cleaners arrived an hour and a half after check in and didn’t really clean and forgot the leave sheets for one bed. There was also a wasps nest in the cabin. Broken house for the shower and no water left for us to use as described. They did bring back a half bottle of water. I hope these are things that can be fixed so others can enjoy the beautiful space.
We had a great time and the cabin and scenery was what we had imagined. Our evenings were peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed hiking the trails on the property and the map provided onsite was accurate. We were close to the parks to go and visit but far enough away to have the quiet we desired. We enjoyed our evening cookouts and bonfires. We had a few issues but we're able to easily resolve. The two hoses connecting to the outdoor shower had a bad connection valve. They had leaked out all the water. We were able to use the hanging
shower bag that was provided and it worked out just fine. Also, one of the propane tanks for the gas stove didn't work right but there was a second one provided that worked just fine. We definitely would like to come back and stay again!
We love this place, the caves, trails and creeks can’t be beat. Fire pit is perfect. The cabin is rough. Definitely bring your own linens. Mice droppings everywhere, even on linen bags, and missing sheets and pillow cases.We didn’t try the shower, but did use all 10 gallons of water for cooking and dishes. Porta potty was totally full- hadn’t been emptied since September. We’d stay again for the location, but I’ll bring tent and sleeping bags.
This property is most definitely off grid. No electricity, water nor lights. I would’ve loved it better if it would’ve been warmer out but that was my choice in booking dates. It would be a fantastic place in warmer months. They had for the most part what we needed. We just picked a bad time. However the hut and the property were pretty neat. We found the zip line and swings on the last day and my boys loved them. I would definitely book again but like I said in warmer months. We enjoyed it.
