Debra was communicative and helpful throughout our trip. This Was a nice and quiet place to glamp. I was very impressed with having hot water the entire 5 days we were there. Highly recommend!
Beautiful view, provided fire wood, and a very kind host.
We came at night. Couldn't find the place, no signs for directions and entrance. The site doesn't fit for a motorhome. We paid for 2 nights but left at the first morning. We want our money back!!! We told Debra and she said we shall be refunded for all our money back.
The cabin on the peak is a romantic, isolated get away ! I would recommend 4x4 cuz its at the top of a mountain! This is an adventurous destination under a blanket of stars me and my love we're blessed to enjoy for a couple nights. Thank you Debby and Richard for welcoming us on your property . 5/5
I would start by saying I would only book this site if you have 4wd or awd as the road up is a little rough. But it was perfect as a woman solo camping. I felt safe with the property being secured and it was quiet and peaceful with a beautiful view.
