The Spooky Trail is almost ready, campers are decorating, and some have even sailed in for the occasion! 🏴‍☠️💀

We’re praying and believing the rain will clear out by 5 PM tomorrow for our Trick or Treat Bash! 🎃🍬

These skeletons have been waiting all year… and frankly, they don’t have the guts to handle a cancellation. 😂

🌧️ Rain on a tin roof, a cozy cabin, and nowhere to rush…

Our A-frame Glamping Cabin is available Saturday night due to a cancellation!

Love camping in the rain when you can stay warm and dry? Snuggle up, listen to the rain on the tin roof, and spend the evening playing board games or cards. ❤️

Bring takeout from some of our favorites—sushi from Fuji Asian Bistro or a delicious plate from Mike’s Farm or Thig’s—and settle in for a relaxing night.

Let the rain be your reason to get away! Message us to book Saturday night. 🏕️

Why go anywhere else for our 13th anniversary when we get to call all of this ours?! ❤️

From foggy mornings to amazing sunsets and starry night skies, we spent two nights enjoying our cozy Floating Cabin—and slowing down together.

I made sure we had chocolate-covered strawberries and charcuterie snacks, and Tyler grilled ribeyes! We even went to Mike's Farm for homemade ice cream. That banana pudding flavor is delicious! 🍦

We fished, watched a movie and some dry comedy, took naps, and spent time doing absolutely nothing but being together.

We spend so much time making this place special for others. It felt good to enjoy it ourselves. Thirteen years together, and this was our kind of getaway. ❤️

If you’ve been needing a little time together, the Floating Cabin or A-Frame Cabin might be just your kind of getaway, too. Come celebrate something special, or simply enjoy each other without all the distractions. ✨
