Experience and Stay in One

Amazing experience for anyone who may be curious about a slow living lifestyle or wanting to experience something they never have before. Dinner was excellent, staff was superb, the shared spaces were very welcoming, and our nest was quite peaceful.

Wendell, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved the property. Been thinking about it since I left. I’d be there more if it was closer.
Amy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Different experience. I loved this place for the friendliness of the staff and rustic atmosphere.: Altogether a unique experience My wife disliked it. She didn't feel safe. The latches were weak. The walk to the room was muddy and slick. I fell twice. Staff was very helpful getting me up and holding our hands. We are both 70+ and this might not have been the best choice. I would reccomend it for younger people.

2/10 Terrible

The room I had reserved was double booked and now I'm trying to get my refund as it is their fault
William, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Just the whole experience! Had a family emergency and didn’t even have a chance to unpack. Explained the situation to the property manager that we desperately had to leave since we were over 3 hrs away from home. No refund provided or anything! Absolutely pathetic!!

6/10 Okay

Very unique property. We wish there were more “indoor plumbing” bathrooms and fewer outhouses. We did not spend the night because we decided to drive home after our activity ended. Lost River Hostel would be a very good choice for more adventurous travelers

We loved the place the minute we saw it. Very nice friendly people. The place is well taken care of. As close to camping without having to do all the work of setting up a tent. Pathways are nice,just everything is great. Good campfire company.
