Great hosts who greeted us when we arrived and had helpful recommendations Lovely setup inside and out, with the view from the bathroom winning it all.
Very private location backing up to a mountainside and stunning views of the lake. Lots of boardgames and the local pizza joint delivers!
We will be back!

Gorgeous view from the table and the bathroom. Very comfortable and clean. David and Nancy are both terrific people who live right next door and are very communicative.
Only thing you should be aware of is that it's not a complete kitchen. There's a plug-in hotplate, a few pans, and a microwave, but if you don't plan to cook anything elaborate here, you should be fine. The grill outside is a nice perk in that regard. I'd gladly stay here again!

My stay at Camp David exceeded my expectations. Nancy went above and beyond to ensure I had a comfortable, welcoming stay. I had absolutely everything I needed for a safe and very cozy retreat. Fortunately, we had stellar winter weather so being outside to enjoy the views from the patio and explore the trails and towns was great fun. Even if the weather wasn't so great, the space was so inviting and cozy with views all around, it still would have been a great getaway. Bonus was getting to spend some time with Nancy and David as they know a lot of interesting insights to the area. Camp David sits nestled above the town and neighborhoods but it is easy to get to restaurants, cafes, and things to explore in the river valley. And then, let's talk about that fabulous bath tub with the views! I will definitely return.

This was a perfect spot for a weekend getaway. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed for a lovely weekend. Water, power, and hot water worked perfectly in this off grid cabin. There were clear instructions for use of the wood fired stove for heating and it kept the cabin comfortable. We really enjoyed that we were able to walk to the PCT from the cabin and enjoy a nice day hike along the trail. We got to have a lovely weekend in a beautiful location in a comfortable cabin.

This was the perfect stay!!! The surroundings and cabin were gorgeous. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, dishes, and spices (including condiments!); the place was easy to find; and there were ample blankets and games. Could not have asked for a better stay!
