Poets who didn’t know it

The sheets were crisp, the linens were tidy. Think about it, so many bodies slumbered here before, no one knows. Who’s bed have your Hey Dudes been under, no one knows. Thumping like thunder from down under but not that kind. SLAM SLAM SLAM but not that kind. Hilltop Cottage is the spot if you like it hot.. in hurrr

About the host

Host profile image
We bought a few acers back in 2017 and converted it into a full amenity RV Campground, when we purchased the land, it came with this cute little rehabbed manufactured home, that we like to call the Cottage. We rent it out to our tenants friends and family members. Please be sure you know someone in the campground before booking, so you may gain access through the gated entrance.
