About this property
Forest Cabin #2 at Camp Because I Said I Would
Summary:
Rustic charm meets modern convenience in this secluded woodland retreat. Enjoy StarLink Business Class internet, indoor wood-burning stove, and outdoor hot tub. Sleeps 6 with 2 private bedrooms, queen-size log futons, and a full bathroom. Family room features a 55” LED HDTV with Chromecast and Blu-Ray/DVD player. Central heating/cooling and fully equipped kitchen included. Privacy ensured with a location 70 yards from the nearest cabin and a private backyard fire pit, picnic table, and grill.
The Space:
Camp Because I said I would is owned by a charity, so 100% of our fees go to our nonprofit. Because I said I would is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and we have programs for families in bereavement at this camp. However, we rent our 5 resort cabins during downtime to generate funding for the charity!
Our 92-acre camp and retreat center is in the heart of Amish Country in Knox County where it is very peaceful, private and quiet. Our property features a 1.5-acre swimming and fishing lake (seasonal), a 2-acre vineyard, 1-mile of privately-owned canopied forest trails and a Recreation Library full of over 100 board games, 400 Blu-Ray movies, kites, boomerangs, bocce ball, other yard games and so much more! All of it is free to use for our guests. We are so much more than just a place to sleep!
Guest Access:
Guests access this cabin from our second driveway and a property map is provided after booking. We have digital keypad access! Please note you have to drive down a gravel road for about a half mile to get to our property. There are 2 parking spots for cars right next to the cabin, but more parking is available on our property if you are OK with walking a bit.
Other Things to Note:
If you are interested in booking multiple cabins, we have 5 cabins with a total of 16 bedrooms and 13 baths. We have 5 hot tubs on the property, so every cabin gets its own 😊 If you have any other questions, please let us know! Thank you for your interest in a cozy stay, but also for the impact your cabin rental fees have in supporting our charity and the families in bereavement we serve.
Interaction with Guests:
There is a property employee staffed every night. There is a Guest Support Textline to help you during your stay with a response time of around 1-hour or less.
