We had a wonderful stay at Camp Haus. Everything we needed for cooking was available in the cabin. The cabin itself had beautiful views of the surrounding forest. We were the perfect distance from town, you felt like you were staying at a cabin with the convenience of town only 5 min away. We loved our stay and highly recommend it to others.
Clean and well maintained. Owners go the extra mile to make their guests comfortable. Provided local coffee, info on places to visit, and little extras throughout. Highly recommend.
Oh my goodness, this place is beautiful. The grounds are meticulous, the cabins are adorable, beds comfortable, and there are so many thoughtful touches, we really just wanted to stay. Julie and George are lovely and so welcoming and kind, my grandkids were literally obsessed with him. In a good way! The 'island' area is so peaceful and relaxing, and did I say, Beautiful. Thank you so much for a lovely time!
