"We stayed at the Tiny Polinator Bungalow and it was a great stay for my husband and I. It had all the essentials we needed to reset and just hangout with nature or hangout by the fire outside. It was easy to get to Old Man’s Cave too (about 15 - 20 min drive) if you want to hike. The bungalow itself was created so thoughtfully, you can tell every piece of furniture or art was created with meaning behind it. I highly recommend staying here to get away from your busy city life and need a reset, even if it’s for a day! Raven and Dustin are awesome and so kind!"
"My girlfriend and I went to the Ravens Retreat for our anniversarg and it was beautiful. The home was a perfect place to stay for a couple. It had everything we needed right there at our convenience. The hot tub and sauna area was very quite and secluded which made for very relaxing nights. All in all its a beautiful property right in the middle of all the parks. Highly recommend coming here. We will definitely be back to see the Klad House :)"
"We had a lovely stay in the Pollinator cabin for our honeymoon. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. Beautiful birdwatching on the back porch. An active hive of honeybees in a tree right by the window was really cool to watch! Wish we could have stayed longer."
"Had a great time with husband and kids! Beautiful and peaceful place to spend time unwinding. Owners very helpful and responsive."
"My husband and I stayed here over the weekend and had the most peaceful, relaxing time. Loved the coziness of the room, the little amenities, the eco-friendly qualities, and the beauty of the nature. We would definitely recommend this AirBnB to anyone!"
"Wow! What a place. Like staying in an art gallery in the middle of beautiful woods. Loads of genius touches — all hand made by a lovely artist couple who created the place. The fireplace is incredible, with a metal sculpted eagle’s wing across the surround. A stunning infinity lamp made from a tree trunk. And too many gorgeous pieces to describe. Pictures don’t begin to do it justice. Heck, even kitchen cabinets and bath vanities are handmade by them. All surrounded by woods with a hot tub! I can’t recommend this highly enough! Incredible bedding, pillows, and mattresses for the best night sleep ever and it’s spotlessly clean."
